DESCRIPTION:Christine Friedenreich\, PhD Scientific Director\, Department o

 berta Health Services - Adjunct Professor and Division Head\, Preventive O
 ncology Departments of Oncology and Community Health Sciences\, University
  of Calgary Physical Activity\, Sedentary Behaviour and Cancer Control: Ep
 idemiologic and Biologic Insights \n\nMonday\, 27 March 2017 4:00 pm - 5:0
 0 pm – McIntyre Medical Building 3655 promenade Sir William Osler – Meakin
 s Amphitheatre - Room 521 ALL ARE WELCOME \n\nSYNOPSIS: Since the mid-1980
 s\, there have been over 400 observational epidemiologic studies published
  that have examined the association between physical activity and cancer r
 isk and there is now consistent and strong evidence for this association f
 or more than 10 cancer sites. In addition\, research has focused on the ro
 le of physical activity in improving coping with cancer treatment\, rehabi
 litation and survival after cancer. More recently\, research has focused o
 n the role of sedentary behaviour as a risk factor for both cancer inciden
 ce and survival. Evidence is accumulating that too much sitting is an inde
 pendent risk factor for cancer. In addition\, research is now examining th
 e underlying biologic mechanisms that might explain how physical activity 
 and sedentary behaviour are related to both cancer risk and survival. OBJE
 CTIVES: At the end of this seminar\, participants will be able to: 1) unde
 rstand the level of evidence regarding the strength\, consistency\, cohere
 nce and close-response relation between physical activity\, sedentary beha
 viour and cancer risk and survival 2) understand the main biologic mechani
 sms that may be operative between physical activity and cancer risk and su
 rvival 3) understand the gaps in evidence and the areas for future researc
 h required in the association between physical activity\, sedentary behavi
 or and cancer risk and survival \n\nSEE PDF FOR DETAILS\n
