The foods you choose each day play a powerful role in supporting your energy levels.

“Food is more than just fuel—it’s part of how we care for our bodies during treatment and recovery,” says Nicole Parker, LD, RD, a registered dietitian at Dartmouth Cancer Center (DCC). “When you think of food as medicine, it helps highlight how important nutrition is to overall health and well-being.”

Eli Brown, a 14 year-old Prouty participant, has launched a powerful fundraiser for his second Prouty. As a member of the Upper Valley Rowing and Friends team, Eli set his fundraising goal at an incredible $10,000 this year. His approach to getting there? To dig, plant, clean up, and help neighbors throughout the Upper Valley with their yards this spring and summer in exchange for donations. This timely fundraiser has taken off and in just a few weeks, Eli has already raised over $2,900! We love it when our participants get creative with their fundraising. This one clearly shows that fundraising can take many forms and be done by Proutyers of all ages. Great job, Eli!

Cancer tumors are surrounded by immune cells, but not all of those cells help the body fight back. Some support anti-cancer immunity, while others can unexpectedly help tumors survive.

A new study led by Claudia Jakubzick, PhD, a member of the Dartmouth Cancer Center Immunology & Cancer Immunotherapy Research Program, shows that where immune cells are located within a tumor can reveal whether they are helping or hurting the anti-cancer response.

“Every day, I get to talk with people—former patients, volunteers, donors, nonprofits, state agencies, fellow staff—who all bring something to nourish our patients during their hardest days,” reflects Stephanie “Annie” Aquila MSW, LICSW, Dartmouth Cancer Center’s Continuing Care Manager for the Office of Care Management..

Annie is frequently humbled by the generosity of the community, including moments like the Grafton County Pemi Baker Centennial Lions Club and the Walmart Supercenter Vision Center teaming up to provide eyeglasses to a patient who couldn’t afford them, or Dartmouth College students writing heartfelt messages of support and goodwill to patients. Recently, a local hairdresser offered to donate new wigs right after a patient wondered how she could afford one.

Annie is part of a team of oncology social workers that we are honoring—not just for the resources they secure or the systems they navigate—but for their presence, advocacy, and humanity.

When it comes to wearing sunscreen to prevent skin cancer, which is more important: the SPF rating or the application frequency?

This National Skin Cancer Awareness Month, the New Hampshire Union Leader NH Medical section features Dartmouth Health expert tips to prevent skin cancer. In the feature, Shane Chapman, MD, says people should focus more on reapplication than the SPF number.

“If you apply it every two hours, you’ll be in much better shape,” he said.

As for the greatest chance of successfully removing skin cancer, catching it early and getting it treated as soon as possible are key.

Dermatologist Matthew Davis, MD, urges patients to take action if they see any new or changing spots, or any bump that’s not healing.

“Even though basal cell cancer takes maybe 10 to 15 years before it’s systemically worrisome, it’s never going to be smaller than it is the day you find it,” he said.

Cancer care is complex—but patients shouldn’t have to navigate it alone. A new system called NavPORT, designed by Dartmouth Cancer Center clinical scientists is helping patients stay on track after surgery with a smart dashboard that helps care teams spot delays early and respond quickly.

“The goal is to make sure no one slips through the cracks,” says co-project lead Philip Schaner, MD, PhD. “Anyone on the care team can see where a patient is in the process and act quickly if something needs attention.”

Learn more about how NavPORT is improving outcomes for patients with head and neck cancer. https://cancer.dartmouth.edu/stories/article/new-approach-timely-head-and-neck-cancer-treatment-rural-new-england
