The session aims to introduce this Nutrition and Cancer in Children, Teenagers and Young Adults (CTYA) Community of Practice. Specific learning objectives include:

1. Understanding the benefits conferred by diet, nutrition and physical activity before, during and after treatment for children and young adults affected by cancer as part of lifelong care.
2. Appreciating the value of establishing a Community of Practice to draw together evidence and share the experience of children and young adults and their parents and carers with clinicians to promote better practice through the WHO KAP.
3. Understanding the importance of standardising data collection and curation during routine clinical care, better comparing experiences amongst different contexts, more effectively generating data fit for the research, and helping guide clinical decision-making.

As a follow up, ICONIC will be hosting a Virtual Dialogue in colleaboration with UICC on Monday 25th November at 2pm CET.
