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’.
The symposium will be in hybrid format, on site at the Institut de Cancérologie de l’Ouest Auditorium (15 rue André Boquel, Angers) or online. For attendees on site, a buffet lunch will be provided.
This symposium organized under the tutelage of the International Breast Cancer & Nutrition (IBCN) network is meant to be international and integrative, with all disciplines involved in the discussions. We are convinced that diversity, whether regarding environmental context or expertise, is essential to deploy prevention globally, with the goal to provide appropriate prevention interventions worldwide while adopting region and population specific approaches.
This symposium is organized with the support of the ANR MRSEI (Cancer Primary Prevention -CaPP project), the Institut de Cancérologie de l'Ouest, and the Exposome Network of the Cancéropôle Grand Ouest.
