Using the “Harvest for Health” vegetable gardening interventions as an exemplar, two experts discussed the potential for lifestyle interventions to mitigate functional decline among cancer survivors. Also, they highlighted the development of remote assessment of physical functioning and its potential to enhance and expand research in aging populations.

This webinar is part of the Perspectives on Cancer and Aging: The Arti Hurria Memorial Webinar Series. It is co-hosted by the NCI Behavioral Research Program and Epidemiology and Genomics Research Program.
