The central mission of the Penn TREC Survivor Center is to advance science on energetics and cancer survivorship, toward the goal of improving both the length and quality of cancer survivorship.
What is TREC?
The Penn Transdisciplinary Research on Energetics and Cancer (TREC) Survivor Center was created through a grant from the National Cancer Institute (NCI). Our center is one of five TREC centers across the country researching reducing cancer linked with obesity, poor diet and low levels of physical activity.
