(HEAL Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
To test the feasibility and acceptability of AILI and associated research procedures among emerging adult cancer survivors (EACS, N=16) age 18-29.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. However, if you are on weight loss medication or have certain medical conditions, you may not be eligible to participate.
How is the Anti-Inflammatory Lifestyle Intervention treatment different from other treatments for cancer survivors?
The Anti-Inflammatory Lifestyle Intervention (AILI) is unique because it focuses on dietary changes to reduce inflammation, which can improve survival rates for cancer survivors. Unlike traditional treatments that may involve medication or surgery, AILI emphasizes a Mediterranean-style diet rich in anti-inflammatory foods, herbs, and spices to create a healthier environment in the body.12345
