Answering Your Questions on Diet for Cancer Prevention & Survivorship
When you have over 470 people gathered, it’s hard to answer everyone’s questions. That’s how many people tuned in this week for the American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR) webinar, Diet & Physical Activity in Cancer Prevention & Survivorship: The Science and Practice. 
We shouldn’t be surprised that program time ran out before we could get to anywhere near all the questions from such a large group on an exciting and ever-evolving topic like this.
