Live Webinar: Breast Health & Nutrition

Breast symptoms and breast cancer risk are often major sources of anxiety during perimenopause and menopause—but guidance is frequently confusing, commercialized, or based on anecdote. In this session, Helen Cappuccino, MD, FACS (Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center), will clarify what changes in the breasts during the menopausal transition, which dietary patterns influence breast pain and benign breast conditions, and what the current evidence says about nutrition, alcohol, body weight, and breast cancer risk. This conversation is grounded in evidence—not fear messaging—and focuses on practical, realistic approaches to supporting breast health in midlife.

Specialty: Surgical Oncology


I love my work at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center. It is an important part of who I am as a human being. I am from a generation of medicine that views medicine as a calling and a privilege. In addition to conventional breast cancer surgical management, I help manage benign breast conditions, healthy lifestyle and wellness leading to breast health. I am interested in Culinary Medicine, and have taught courses on this at the Jacobs School of Medicine. I believe in cultivating future doctors to work in our community, so I serve on the Admissions Committee at the University of Buffalo Jacobs School of Medicine. I am also to serve as a judge for the WNY business incubator and contest 43North.
