Plant-Based Diet and Exercise Therapy in HR+ Breast Cancer
Dr. Shoshana Rosenberg will review poster “Effects of plant-based diet (PBD) and exercise therapy (Ex) on weight and body composition in patients with primary hormone receptor (HR) positive breast cancer: A phase 2 randomized controlled trial.” This study explores how a personalized energy-restricted PBD combined with exercise can impact weight and body composition in patients with HR-positive breast cancer, aiming to improve clinical outcomes by addressing obesity-related risks.
