Melinda Irwin, deputy director of the Yale Cancer Center and a senior author of the study, has dedicated her life to cancer prevention research. While investigating various types of cancer, Irwin has observed the challenges that patients face in adhering to chemotherapy — a common cancer treatment that has many adverse side effects, including hair loss, weight gain and fatigue. These side effects can be so severe that some patients stop seeking treatment. “Physicians hear from women all the time that they wish they had better guidance and tools to help them through chemotherapy, especially to ward off side effects like fatigue, neuropathy and changes in body weight,” Irwin said.
