Abstract

The 2 Nutrition and Cancer Networking Meeting '' was held at Newcastle University in May 2022, with support from the Nutrition Society and British Association for Cancer Research. The first meeting in this series was held in Sheffield in 2019. The aim of this joint meeting was to bring together researchers with an interest in nutrition and breast cancer, with the programme spanning topics from risk and prevention to nutrition during treatment and beyond. Several key themes emerged, including the importance of engaging patients in the development of interventions and trials, making trials more accessible to diverse communities; training of clinical staff in nutrition and latest evidence; wider range of compounds should be considered in food composition tables; and alternative trial designs can be considered for prevention research to reduce financial burden and increase power.

Address: School of Food Science and Nutrition, University of Leeds, Leeds, LS2 9JT, UK.; Department of Oncology and Metabolism, University of Sheffield, Sheffield, S10 2RX, UK.; Human Nutrition and Exercise Research Centre, Population and Health Sciences Institute, Newcastle University, Newcastle, NE2 4HH, UK.
