HIGHLIGHTS/DISCOVERIES<br />

• Maintaining an optimistic outlook is associated<br />

with greater NKCC by way of greater emotional<br />

expression.<br />

• Perceived stress management skills mediate<br />

improvements in mood and QOL during the<br />

CBSM intervention.<br />

• Intervention-related gains in QOL may be<br />

paralleled by gonadal hormone (testosterone)<br />

changes.<br />

DESCRIPTION OF RESEARCH<br />

Dr. Shor-Posner is funded by the NCI as part<br />

of the Women’s Intervention Nutrition<br />

Study (WINS). She received this funding for the<br />

Low Fat Diet and Breast <strong>Cancer</strong> Recurrence/Outcome<br />

Trial. The goal of this multi-site project is<br />

to determine whether a program of dietary fat<br />

intake reduction, provided in addition to defined<br />

adjuvant therapy, will effectively prolong diseasefree<br />

survival for patients between 48 and 78 years<br />

of age with early stage breast cancer. The study is<br />

ongoing, and a proposal has been submitted for<br />

continuation until 2007.<br />
