CancerResource: Living With Cancer
The not-for-profit American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR), noted for its investigation of links between lifestyle and cancer and now in its 30th year, has released a free digital book for cancer patients and survivors, with current, evidence-based advice on managing diet and activity during and after treatment.
The 44-page book, called “CancerResource: Living With Cancer” represents “a completely retooled version of the free information kit that AICR has offered newly diagnosed cancer patients and their families for decades,” the AICR noted in a news release. It’s expected to be especially valuable because it “focuses on the questions that patients tell us they have a hard time finding answers to,” said Alice Bender, a registered dietitian with the AICR. “There’s been a lot of new research on diet and exercise during treatment in the past few years, for example, and CancerResource translates those encouraging findings into useful tips.”
CancerResource begins with an introduction on how to use the guide, and includes these sections:
● During Treatment: Healthy Eating
● During Treatment: Getting and Staying Active
● After Treatment: Healthy Eating
● After Treatment: Getting and Staying Active
● Cancer and Its Treatment: General InformationIts content includes:
● Tips on understanding the diagnosis and finding a healthcare team
● Worksheets with questions patients should ask their healthcare providers about their diagnosis and its treatment
● Ways to use good nutrition and physical activity to help make treatment more tolerable
● How to cope with diet-related side effects and stay active during and after treatment
● Answers to “hot topics” questions about dietary and phytochemical supplements (eg, soy), macrobiotic and vegetarian diets, dietary fiber, and more
● Common cancer terms (in a glossary)
● Useful resources for patients (information about, and links for, the AICR, the National Cancer Institute, American Cancer Society, Healthfinder, MEDLINEplus, and OncoLink)Besides the main CancerResource book, there are also CancerResource programs focusing on breast, lung, colon, and prostate cancer.
Single giveaway printed copies of CancerResource can be performed by job AICR during 1-800-843-8114, Monday by Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM Eastern Standard Time.
