Cancer survivors protocol committee
Secretariat and Executive Team
Researchers at Imperial College London
Researchers at Imperial College London maintain a central database of research papers on diet, nutrition, physical activity and cancer (including cancer survivors). The team, using the methodology of the Second Expert Report, prepares updated systematic literature reviews (SLRs) of the evidence as agreed with the Continuous Update Project (CUP) Secretariat and the Expert Panel. The review and collection of evidence is independent of the Expert Panel’s judgement of the evidence.

CUP peer reviewers
CUP peer reviewers are drawn from a range of appropriate backgrounds and from many different parts of the world. Two peer review stages are built into the process for the SLRs of updated evidence for the CUP – at the initial protocol stage and also when the updated SLRs were submitted in complete form.

Cancer survivors protocol committee
Cancer survivors protocol committee, a special committee, chaired by Dr Lawrence Kushi, was convened to provide advice on how the research evidence on cancer survivors could best be captured. With the help of this committee a new protocol was developed which was used to review the evidence on breast cancer survivors. The members of the committee continue their involvement with this work by acting as advisers. You can view the protocol for reviewing the evidence for breast cancer survivors here. The breast cancer survivors report was published in October 2014.
