The project aims to determine whether using information about body composition can help personalise a diet and physical activity lifestyle intervention (IBC) and is acceptable to stomach cancer survivors who recently completed treatment.
The aim of the SUNRISE Pilot Study in Fiji, Botswana, and Kenya is to determine the feasibility and acceptability of the proposed methods for the SUNRISE Study in each country.
This project will estimate the proportion of avoidable cancer cases and risk of cancer if healthier choices were implemented among certain socio-economic groups – both higher and lower – and in men and women. The aim is to inform a set of tailored recommendations.
This project will identify metabolic signatures for seven specific dietary exposures whose association with cancer risk has not been convincingly established yet or for which insight into the underlying mechanisms is needed.
The aim of this project is to expand our previous study and improve breast cancer survivors’ exercise, healthy diet habits, quality of life and reduce risk of cancer returning.
This study will use a newly available method to compare the impact of eating 30% less food versus daily exercise on muscle, prostate, and prostate tumour growth responses, over a 7-day period prior to prostate tumour removal in prostate cancer patients.
This project aims to starve pancreatic cancer cells of cysteine and determine whether this approach may represent a new therapeutic strategy to fight this devastating cancer.
The aim of the project is to address a knowledge gap in understanding how maternal folate levels may influence triggers and chemical marks needed for childhood leukaemia development.
It is thought that there are links between the presence of an existing illness, such as diabetes or cardiovascular disease, and the development of cancer.
This project will find out if physical activity and sedentary behaviours can affect the risk of developing cancer in people with comorbidities.
People with Lynch syndrome have an increased risk of developing large bowel cancer and it is thought that vitamin D may play a role.
This study will pool data from numerous studies to determine how lifestyle factors and vitamin D levels can affect the risk of large bowel cancer to develop tailored cancer prevention recommendations for this population.
