Understanding Cancer: Causes, Treatment & Prevention | Drs. Urvi Shah & Neil Iyengar

Welcome to this bonus episode of Our MBC Life. Our team is currently working on season 2 and we are excited. The premiere episode will drop on March 1.  While we do that, we hope you catch up on any episodes you missed from Season 1.  We will have 3 more bonus pods for you in January and February. Our MBC Life is a part of the metastatic breast cancer program at SHARE Cancer Support. SHARE has many programs to support women living with MBC including the Talk METS Helpline, several virtual support groups, and educational and wellness programs. We are thrilled to highlight some of those programs in January. It feels like a lifetime ago, but just a few weeks ago the world's largest breast cancer conference, the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium, was held.  Just after the symposium SHARE welcomed Dr. Neil Iyengar from Memorial Sloan Kettering to a webinar where he shared information from SABCS highlighting both early-stage and metastatic research. We are pleased to have that conversation to start the year and catch you up on the latest in MBC research.  Christine Benjamin,  the senior director of patience services and education from SHARE Cancer Support and the new Chair of the Metastatic Breast Cancer Alliance, speaks with Dr. Iyengar.  Check out our blog and episode notes on our website, www.ourmbclife.org.  We are found on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram @ourmbclife.

S01 E29 - Report from SABCS with Dr. Neil Iyengar

It sounds like a simple question. What is obesity? But like most simple questions, the answer is not as obvious as it may seem. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention calls obesity "A national epidemic causing higher medical costs and a lower quality of life." The CDC also notes that obesity is a contributing cause of many other health problems, including heart disease, stroke, diabetes and some types of cancer.Understanding the relationship between obesity and breast cancer can become located. Not only is there the question of measurement. Is the traditional view of body mass index always accurate or sufficient? But also, important questions around assessing risk. How might the measurement of body composition and blood based factors associated with fat inflammation help develop more precise cancer risk assessments and prognostic strategies? Dr. Neil Iyengar is at the forefront of researching and addressing these questions. He studies obesity, and in particular its relationship to breast cancer. Dr. Iyengar is an assistant member and attending physician in the Breast Medicine Service of the Department of Medicine at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.He is also an associate attending physician at the Rockefeller University. In our conversation, Dr. Iyengar noted that he grew up in a family that certainly emphasized science, but where the human component was also central. You'll hear both sides of him in our talk. What is obesity? That's where we started.
