ORLANDO — A lifestyle medicine toolkit for cancer risk reduction and survivorship “received significant engagement” in part due to its comprehensiveness and feasibility, according to a speaker at the Lifestyle Medicine Conference.
The toolkit “provides you with resources for our cancer survivors and patients that can be used in the clinic or even outside of the clinic,” Jasmin Hundal, MD, MS, MPH, a hematology oncology fellow at the Cleveland Clinic, told Healio. “It can be used by physicians or other providers such as physical therapists, nurses or researchers.”
In a study, Hundal and colleagues found that users highlighted the toolkit’s financial sustainability, its ease of integration into different health care environments and its review of lifestyle medicine strategies.
“Please reach out to us and we will be more than happy to provide you with a copy and other steps [about] how you can implement it in your clinic,” Hundal said.
