Preeti Sudheendra, Clinical Director of Late Phase Breast Cancer Drug Development at Merck, shared on LinkedIn about a recent paper by Laura E Wright published on The Oncologist:
“We are officially in print! Check out this review article in The Oncologist Journal with comprehensive, evidence-based information about the benefits of lifestyle medicine counseling and interventions for breast cancer survivors to improve quality of life as well as reduce cancer-related morbidity and mortality.
Lifestyle modification isn’t easy or quick or a single event. It doesn’t come as a pill or injection or procedure. It is the hard daily work of taking intentional actions to improve our physical, mental, and emotional well-being. But the investment is worth the pay off.
Lifestyle medicine implementation is not easy or quick either – it takes time and resources with no immediate monetary profit. But it must be done. We are doing a disservice to ourselves, our patients, our clinics, and our healthcare system by not mandating that lifestyle medicine be a core part of every Survivorship clinic and beyond.”
