Cancer Research Grant for Aberdeen

The local cancer research charity CRANES – Cancer Research Aberdeen and North East Scotland, have been able to give a grant of £23,000 to Aberdeen University.  This is going to be used to research the links between obesity and cancer. To start the study they will be looking at people who have been treated for breast can prostate cancer and who could benefit from losing weight. The money will be used to employ a dietician who will work with people who have finished their treatment. The long term aim is to produce a programme suitable for people who have had cancer to help them improve their overall health and fitness by diet and excercise. There is more information here.
