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.
