1 WORKING EVERYDAY TO PROVIDE THE HIGHEST QUALITY OF LIFE FOR PEOPLE WITH CANCER Breast Cancer Survivorship: What is the Role of Diet and Physical Activity WENDY DEMARK-WAHNEFRIED, PHD, RD PROFESSOR AND WEBB CHAIR OF NUTRITION SCIENCES ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR OF CANCER PREVENTION & CONTROL UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA AT BIRMINGHAM

2 Objectives To briefly review cancer survivorship To review the diet and physical activity guidelines for cancer prevention and survivorship and the body of evidence that supports them.

6 Cancer Survivorship: The Bad News Cancer Survivors at greater risk -Progressive disease - Second primaries - Cardiovascular Disease (More Breast Cancer Survivors will diet of heart disease than will die of their cancer) - Diabetes - Osteoporosis - Sarcopenia - Functional decline - Subsets prone to depression & fatigue - $277 Billion annually on cancer : 2/3 s of these costs due to downstream effects (ACS 2011)

7 Diet & Exercise Guidelines for Cancer Survivors Weight American Cancer Society (2012) Achieve & maintain a healthy weight throughout life Physical Adopt a physically active lifestyle Activity (>150 min/week of moderate or 75 min/week of vigorous activity Dietary Consume a healthy diet with Pattern emphasis on plant sources Choose foods & beverages in amounts that achieve & maintain a healthy weight Eat > 2.5 cups of vegetables and fruits each day Choose whole grains in preference to refined grains Limit it processed & red meat World Cancer Fund - American Institute for Cancer Research (2007) Be as lean as possible without becoming underweight Be physically active every day in any way for at least 30 minutes. Avoid sugary drinks. Limit energydense foods (foods high in sugar & fat, and low in fiber) Eat more of a variety of vegetables, fruits, whole grains and legumes Limit consumption of processed & red meat Other - Limit consumption of salty foods Alcohol At most 1 ( ) - 2 ( ) drinks/day If drink limit to 1-2 drinks/day Supplements Rely on food as a source of nutrients Don t use supplements to protect against cancer CA Cancer J Clin 2012 Jan-Feb;62(1):30-67http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/ World Cancer Research Fund-American Institute for Cancer Research 2 nd Expert Research Report,

11 Why do Women Gain Weight After Breast Cancer Diagnosis? Associated with some forms of hormonal therapy & chemotherapy Most research focused on weight gain in patients with breast cancer who were treated with chemotherapy Early studies show mean gains of kg; recent studies show mean gains of kg Greater gains among black women, & those who are sedentary & with less education. Early reports suggested increased dietary intake is responsible for weight gain studies were small and not well-controlled

12 53 Young Women w/breast Cancer Observed During Year Following Diagnosis (36 on Adjuvant Chemotherapy & 17 Localized Treatment Only) measured. Dietary Intake (3-day recalls) Physical Activity (Stanford 5 City) Metabolic Rate (Indirect Calorimetry) Body Composition (DXA) -No difference in intake or RMR -Significant decrease in PA among Significant decrease in PA among women receiving adj. chemo

13 Change in Body Composition Post-Diagnosis among Breast Cancer Patients receiving Adjuvant chemotherapy baseline 6 mths 12 mths Baseline 6-mth 12-mth Demark-Wahnefried, et al. JCO 2001

14 Sarcopenic Obesity Unique pattern of weight gain characterized by gains in body fat without concurrent gains in lean tissue Occurs with a variety of medical conditions, prolonged physical inactivity, and menopause/aging. Recommended treatment: exercise Recommended treatment: exercise (especially resistance training)

15 Pilot Study (N=10) To determine whether an exercise (strength th training i + aerobic activity) it - diet (< 20% fat, plant-based, calcium-rich diet) is feasible & shows promise of preventing adverse body composition changes among premenopausal women who receive adjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer.

18 Exercise NHIS data suggest that survivors may be 9% more likely to exercise than general population, but only ~30% adhere to ACSM guidelines Systematic reviews, consensus reports & studies in interim suggest exercise is safe & has consistent positive effects on - vigor/vitality - cardiorespiratory fitness - quality of life - depression - anxiety - fatigue Data are accumulating to suggest a protective effect for recurrence and survival (i.e., CHALLENGE trial)

28 Dietary Supplements & Cancer Several cell culture & animal studies showing a benefit of various single nutrients and foods 40-89% of Survivors take Supplements 40-50% take additional supplements after diagnosis ATBC & CARET trials shows show increased risk of lung cancer in b-carotene arms Trial by Bairati et al. (2006) on 540 head & neck cancer pts. (6.5 yr follow-up) shows HR of 1.38 (95% CI: ) in those receiving 400 IU of vitamin E Meta-analyses by Miller et al. (2005) & Bjelakovic et al. (2007) show significantly higher mortality with vitamin E & b-carotene Results of NIH-AARP (n=295,344) show increased risk of fatal prostate cancer among men taking >7 multi-vitamins/week (RR: 1.98; 95% CI: ) Lawson et al.
