VIDEO: Unclear if altering lifestyle affects breast cancer

SAN FRANCISCO – Physicians have multiple good reasons to suggest lifestyle changes to many patients with breast cancer, but affecting the cancer itself may not be one of them, Dr. Pamela J. Goodwin said at a breast cancer symposium sponsored by the American Society of Clinical Oncology.

In this video interview, Dr. Goodwin summarizes the ongoing research on how changes in lifestyle such as weight loss, diet, physical activity, and drinking may or may not alter outcomes in patients with breast cancer.

The good news: A drink or two a day probably doesn’t hurt, said Dr. Goodwin, professor of medicine at the University of Toronto’s Mount Sinai Hospital.

She reported having no financial disclosures.
