Cancer survivors are at an increased risk of bone loss due to previous cancer treatments and are at increased risk of obesity and other cardiometabolic diseases. Therefore it is important for cancer survivors to adhere to an active lifestyle and good nutrition. The study proposes a single site,

Purified polyphenols extracted by table grape can decrease cell proliferation in vitro and exert anti-atherosclerotic and antithrombotic activities, regulating endothelial function. Literature studies have already evaluated the cytostatic and apoptotic effects produced by table grape extracts from

Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecologic malignancy in the United States. Risk factors for development of endometrial cancer include increasing age, early menarche, late menopause, nulliparity, obesity, use of unopposed estrogen, and Lynch syndrome.
