WOMENS HEALTHY EATING AND LIVING TRIAL

WHEL是一项为期8年的随机对照研究，旨在验证饮食干预组（植物性、低脂肪）女性的无复发生存期（到癌症复发、新发或死亡的时间）将长于对照组的假设。干预将包括教育和咨询。参与者将通过电话访谈、问卷调查和血液分析进行监测。需要GCRC的营养师，因为他们在研究干预和队列管理（在这项长期研究中）方面受过培训，并遵守研究设计。GCRC还将用于血液标本的提取和处理。

WHEL is an 8-yr randomized, controlled study testing the hypothesis that re-currence-free survival (time to cancer recurrence, new primary or death) will be longer among women in the dietary intervention grp (plant-based, low fat) than in the control grp. The intervention will include education and counseling. Participants will be monitored by phone interviews, questionnaires, and blood analysis. The GCRC dietitians are required because of their training in research intervention and cohort management (in this long-term study) and adherence to the study design. The GCRC will also be used for blood specimen drawing and processing.
