The evidence supporting increased risk for poor outcomes (increased incidence of second primary breast cancer and overall mortality) in breast cancer patients with overweight, obese body mass indexes has been well documented (Azard, 2014; Chan, 2014; World Cancer Research Find, 2018). The existing high rates of overweight/obesity among American women, and the common occurrence of weight gain following a breast cancer diagnosis, justify interventions to support successful weight loss to a healthy body weight range. Certified Specialist in Oncology Lauren Fay will review a comprehensive approach backed by evidence-based research that assists women diagnosed with breast cancer to optimize their body composition and achieve weight loss. Lauren will review current research-supported recommendations for diet, physical activity, and cognitive behavioral therapy techniques that result in success, as well as resources to apply these techniques.
