🌸 Research opportunity: Healthy lifestyle support after breast cancer

Women across Australia are invited to take part in a research study exploring views on exercise and nutrition support after a breast cancer diagnosis 💗.

This study aims to better understand what encourages or discourages participation in lifestyle programs, when support feels most helpful, and what information women need to make informed decisions. The findings will help shape the design of a future exercise and nutrition trial for women after breast cancer treatment.

👥 Who can take part

Women aged 18 years and over who have been diagnosed with breast cancer at any stage, are currently in treatment or have completed treatment, and live in Australia.

📝 What’s involved

Participants will be asked to complete an anonymous online questionnaire. There is also the option to take part in a short online or phone interview lasting around 30 to 40 minutes to share views in more depth. Participation is voluntary, and people can pause or withdraw at any time.

🔬 Researcher spotlight

This study is led by Dr Cindy Tan, a senior clinical dietitian and cancer survivorship researcher with more than 20 years of experience supporting women after cancer. Dr Tan is passionate about developing practical, realistic lifestyle programs that support confidence, wellbeing, and long‑term health after breast cancer 🌱.
