Symposium: Exposome and Breast Cancer – intricacies of nutrition, chemical and social environments
The goal of this symposium conducted in English and open to all is to bring together different actors of breast cancer prevention (researchers, clinicians, public health experts, patients’ associations, etc.) to discuss health promotion and breast cancer risk reduction. Four themes will be covered in the form of keynote talks and short talks, panel discussions and interactions with the audience. The four discussion themes are (1) ‘plants in cancer prevention’, (2) Food bioactives and the epigenome, (3) ‘Chemical exposure and breast cancer inequality’, (4) ‘Socioeconomic exposure and breast cancer’.
