Evidence-Based Recommendations on Nutrition and Lifestyle in Prostate Cancer Webinar

There are many evidence-based recommendations for nutrition and lifestyle in prostate cancer. Failure to counsel patients on nutrition and lifestyle leads to lower quality of care. It's important that the radiation oncology community remain up-to-date regarding published data and clinical guidelines related to lifestyle optimization in prostate cancer. Participants also need to know how the latest evidence and guidelines affect their day-to-day interactions with patients in practice, and thus be able to narrow competency gaps in prostate cancer care. 

In this presentation we will discuss the latest evidence on the benefits of plant-predominant nutrition for patients with prostate cancer, including oncologic outcomes and quality of life. In addition, we will discuss the importance of the other major pillars of lifestyle medicine in prostate cancer (physical activity, sleep health, avoidance of toxic substances, stress management and social support).
