Intervention Helps Women With Breast Cancer Lose Weights- Jennifer Southall
Women with breast cancer whose BMI fell in the overweight or obese ranges achieved meaningful weight loss via a telephone-based intervention, according to phase 3 study results.
Findings of the Breast Cancer Weight Loss (BWEL) trial, presented during a press conference ahead of ASCO Annual Meeting, also showed the amount of weight loss varied depending on menopausal status and race/ethnicity.
Key takeaways:
- Women assigned the intervention lost an average 4.8% of baseline body weight at 6 months.
- The amount of weight loss varied based on factors such as menopausal status and race/ethnicity.
