Investigating Lifestyle and Energy Balance in Breast Cancer Survivors

This study, called the MILES Study, is looking at how lifestyle and energy balance change for women newly diagnosed with breast cancer. It involves completing surveys about diet, physical activity, and other factors, and providing a urine sample for testing. Some participants will also have interviews. The goal is to understand how these factors change over time and to find ways to help women adopt healthy behaviors during and after breast cancer treatment. You may be able to join if you are an adult woman (18 or older) recently diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer (stage 0, I, II, or III) within the last 60 days, are scheduled for surgery at Penn Medicine, and can read English or Spanish. The study is looking for 100 participants. The study aims to see how lifestyle behaviors change over 6 months.

What this trial measures

  • Change in lifestyle behavior score basedBaseline, 1 month, 6 months

    A composite score for lifestyle behavior change consistent with the 2020 American Cancer Society (ACS) nutrition and physical activity guidelines for cancer survivors. Individual guideline components are measured as follows: Diet and alcohol intake are measured with the ASA24 dietary recall screener (a gold standard instrument) and a novel dietary screener (English/Spanish versions) instruments. Physical activity is evaluated using the Modified Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ). Obesity is evaluated using self-reported height and weight and derived from clinical records. The composite lifestyle score will range from 0 to 8, with higher scores indicated greater adherence to the ACS lifestyle guidelines for cancer prevention.
