Translated title:
Dietary patterns in relation with breast cancer among women
Summary:
Breast cancer is the most diagnosed cancer worldwide, with a significant increase in
incidence. It poses a global health concern, as survivors continue to face challenges
long after their initial diagnosis, being at a heightened risk of cancer recurrence and
susceptible to developing other health issues such as cardiovascular diseases or
metabolic disorders. The development of breast cancer is often influenced by complex
interactions among genetic predisposition, hormonal factors, environmental
exposures, and lifestyle choices. One important lifestyle factor, as shown by numerous
studies, is the maintenance of a healthy body weight. The purpose of this review is to
examine the impact of interventions promoting healthy dietary patterns, single
nutrients, and supplements. The goal is to identify any gaps or inconsistencies in
existing studies and provide a basis for clearer further investigation so that it could be
possible to propose the optimal and most effective intervention for breast cancer
survivors within the scope of secondary prevention.
