In a country like Italy—where life expectancy ranks among the highest in the world and the average age keeps rising—embracing a culture of prevention is becoming essential to age well while keeping the national health system sustainable. And a healthy life starts early. Among the habits that shape our wellbeing—physical activity, smoking, alcohol consumption—diet plays a crucial role in determining the risk of developing many diseases, including cancer. But nutrition is more than a preventive ally. Groundbreaking research is now exploring how diet and fasting can actively support cancer therapies in patients with specific tumor types. Fondazione AIRC invites you to a talk uncovering the latest insights on nutrition, prevention, and oncology research, with contributions from oncologist and AIRC-IFOM researcher Claudio Vernieri and oncologist and science communicator Mattia Garutti.
