Jasmin Hundal, Chair of Hematology – Oncology Research Fellowship Working Group at Cleveland Clinic, shared Amy Comander’s post on LinkedIn, adding:
“Grateful for the opportunity to present ‘Lifestyle Medicine Across the Cancer Continuum: From Treatment to Survivorship and Beyond’ at the national American College of Lifestyle Medicine conference alongside Amy Comander, and Madeline Hardacre.
As cancer outcomes continue to improve, integrating lifestyle medicine into oncology care presents an important opportunity to support patients during active treatment and throughout survivorship.
We discussed how evidence-based lifestyle interventions can reduce symptom burden, improve physical function, and enhance quality of life while supporting cardiometabolic health and long-term well-being.
A key takeaway: Lifestyle medicine has a role at every stage of cancer care, from supporting patients through treatment to promoting long-term health in survivorship.
The opportunity ahead lies in translating this evidence into practical, personalized, and equitable care models that make lifestyle medicine an integral part of oncology practice.
Looking ahead, I am particularly excited to explore how AI can help personalize lifestyle interventions during active cancer treatment and throughout survivorship, support symptom management and sustainable behavior change, and expand access to evidence-based lifestyle care.”
“Thank you to everyone who joined our session today at the American College of Lifestyle Medicine meeting!
Jasmin Hundal, Madeline Hardacre and I were honored to present ‘Lifestyle Medicine Across the Cancer Continuum: From Treatment to Survivorship and Beyond.’
This talk was a call to action!
There are more than 18 million cancer survivors in the US, and that number is projected to reach 26 million by 2040. Lifestyle medicine matters at every stage: prehabilitation, active cancer treatment, survivorship, and for individuals living with advanced disease. Evidence-based lifestyle medicine tools can improve treatment tolerance, reduce symptoms, enhance quality of life, and in some cases, improve outcome from cancer. Providing our patients with these tools is essential and it takes a team.
We discussed the evidence behind the six pillars of lifestyle medicine (nutrition, physical activity, sleep, stress management, connectedness, and avoiding risky substances), as well as practical ways to bring these tools into everyday oncology care.
So grateful for the opportunity to speak today on this important topic, with the goal to improve the care of people with cancer everywhere.”
