Don't miss the ESDN Oncology webinar: Folate and folic acid during chemotherapy 

We are pleased to invite you to an insightful webinar organised by ESDN Oncology, that aims to delve into the fundamentals of folate metabolism and its significance in the context of cancer treatment. Folate, along with its synthetic variant folic acid, plays a crucial role as B-vitamins. However, the extent to which these vitamins, obtained from dietary sources or through supplements, influence treatment tolerance in cancer patients remains an area of uncertainty.

Join us as we present compelling data derived from a comprehensive systematic literature review on folate and folic acid in relation to chemotherapy-induced toxicities. These findings shed light on the intriguing and contrasting roles of folate derivatives in antifolate- versus fluoropyrimidine-induced toxicities.

Towards sustainable food consumption - the SAPEA report

For Europe to achieve its health and sustainability goals, the way we produce and consume food has to change. Our current food system has a major impact on the environment, and poor quality diets are also linked to risk of disease, obesity and overweight. To address these issues, our diets need to shift towards more plant-based ingredients, rich in vegetables, fruits, wholegrains and pulses. 
The SAPEA report specifically addresses that policies should focus on the whole food environment, anywhere where food is obtained, eaten, and discussed.
