Weight changes during and after breast cancer treatment can affect physical health, emotional well-being, and quality of life. As interest in GLP-1 medications grows, patients are looking to their healthcare teams for clear, evidence-based guidance about whether and how these medications fit among the full range of weight-management options.
Join us for a practical discussion that brings together evolving clinical evidence and the real concerns patients bring to these conversations. We’ll explore the relationship between cancer treatment, weight gain, emotional health, and health-related outcomes; what is known — and still unknown — about GLP-1 use after breast cancer; the role of exercise and other weight-management strategies; and patient-centered communication that supports informed, shared decisions.
Learn together
The live webinar gives you the opportunity to ask questions and connect with oncology professionals from across the country who are navigating these same conversations with patients.
