Complex relationship between the body’s metabolism and cancer during breast cancer treatment – MSK Cancer Center
MSK Cancer Center (Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center) shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Dr. Neil Iyengar and Dr. Sherry Shen, breast medical oncologists at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK), are conducting research on the complex relationship between the body’s metabolism and cancer, and have insights to help people manage weight gain during breast cancer treatment.
“The treatments we give people for breast cancer are lifesaving and absolutely vital,” explains Dr. Iyengar. “It’s also important that people facing breast cancer understand that breast cancer and its treatments have effects on the body’s metabolism that need to be addressed both to help with cancer treatment and for patients’ long-term health.”
In this article, Dr. Shen and Dr. Iyengar share the guidance they give their patients facing breast cancer, including tips for controlling weight, the latest MSK research on the topic, a promising approach using the app Noom, and an analysis of the new GLP-1 agonist weight loss drugs including Ozempic and Wegovy.
