Symposium Speaker Spotlight: Shelby Yaceczko to share Staying Strong Through Pancreatic Cancer Treatment: Nutrition and Movement Matter!

Shelby Yaceczko, DCN, RDN-AP, CNSC, to present Staying Strong Through Pancreatic Cancer Treatment: Nutrition and Movement Matter! at our 19th Annual Symposium on Pancreatic Cancer

February 5, 2025

The Hirshberg Foundation is pleased to announce that Dr. Yaceczko will join us at the 19th Annual Symposium on Pancreatic Cancer to discuss the importance of staying strong through pancreatic cancer treatment through nutrition and movement.

This topic will review the intersection of diet and physical activity in maintaining muscle health and reducing whole-body inflammation. Designed for patients, caregivers, and healthcare providers, the session will explore evidence-based strategies for optimizing nutrition to preserve muscle mass and boost energy throughout the entire cancer continuum. Attendees will learn practical tips on incorporating cancer wellness strategies to improve overall well-being, enhance treatment outcomes, and reduce fatigue to stay strong.

Shelby Yaceczko is an advanced practice registered dietitian who specializes in complex gastrointestinal conditions. She leads the Nutrition for Safer Surgeries program and supports the Division of Digestive Diseases and Surgical Oncology patient population at UCLA Health. She is part of the UCLA Agi Hirshberg Center for Pancreatic Diseases, where she spends most of her time helping patients with pancreatic cancer improve their nutritional status and overall wellbeing during their cancer journey. 

An important presentation for our pancreatic cancer community, we are so pleased to have Shelby Yaceczko present Staying Strong Through Pancreatic Cancer Treatment: Nutrition and Movement Matter! at the 19th Annual Symposium.
