Researchers with The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center—Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute are investigating how dietary interventions could help reduce fatigue, improve diet quality and help cancer patients live an overall better quality of life.
A study by researchers at the American Cancer Society showed that between 2003 and 2023, nearly five million people in the United States lived in food deserts—places with no grocery stores. Most of these deserts are in poor and rural areas and in places where people rely on public transit. At the same time, the number of food swamps or areas with mostly restaurants/fast-food locations increased nationwide.
