“…Most recent systematic review evaluated the association between dietary patterns and breast cancer risk. Vegetables were consistently found to be protective in breast cancer [ 169 ]. A population-based case-control study, including 2135 breast cancer cases (1070 Hispanics, 493 African Americans, and 572 non-Hispanic Whites) and 2571 controls (1391 Hispanics, 557 African Americans, and 623 non-Hispanic Whites) assessed the association between high dietary fiber intake breast cancer risk.…”

Cancerous tissue transformation developing usually over years or even decades of life is a highly complex process involving strong stressors damaging DNA, chronic inflammation, comprehensive interaction between relevant molecular pathways, and cellular cross-talk within the neighboring tissues. Only the minor part of all cancer cases are caused by inborn predisposition; the absolute majority carry a sporadic character based on modifiable risk factors which play a central role in cancer prevention. Amongst most promising candidates for dietary supplements are bioactive phytochemicals demonstrating strong anticancer effects. Abundant evidence has been collected for beneficial effects of flavonoids, carotenoids, phenolic acids, and organosulfur compounds affecting a number of cancer-related pathways. Phytochemicals may positively affect processes of cell signaling, cell cycle regulation, oxidative stress response, and inflammation. They can modulate non-coding RNAs, upregulate tumor suppressive miRNAs, and downregulate oncogenic miRNAs that synergically inhibits cancer cell growth and cancer stem cell self-renewal. Potential clinical utility of the phytochemicals is discussed providing examples for chemoprevention against and therapy for human breast cancer. Expert recommendations are provided in the context of preventive medicine.

“…Evidence across different populations indicates an inverse association of breast cancer risk with healthy dietary pattern consisting of fruits, vegetables, legumes and whole grains and a positive association with a dietary pattern consisting of red and processed meat, fried foods and sugar [ 5 ]. The evidence on vegetarian diets is less convincing.…”

“…In addition, certain food components such as eggs have shown a non-linear ‘J-shape’ association with breast cancer risk [ 3 ] and eating fish rather than meat appears to lower the risk of breast cancer among postmenopausal women [ 4 ]. Overall, evidence suggests that while a healthy dietary pattern including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean protein and legumes may be protective, diets high in saturated fats, red and processed meats, added sugars, fried foods and refined grains may act as risk factors for breast cancer [ 5 ].…”

Evidence from India, a country with unique and distinct food intake patterns often characterized by lifelong adherence, may offer important insight into the role of diet in breast cancer etiology. We evaluated the association between Indian dietary patterns and breast cancer risk in a multi-centre case-control study conducted in the North Indian states of Punjab and Haryana. Eligible cases were women 30–69 years of age, with newly diagnosed, biopsy-confirmed breast cancer recruited from hospitals or population-based cancer registries. Controls (hospital- or population-based) were frequency matched to the cases on age and region (Punjab or Haryana). Information about diet, lifestyle, reproductive and socio-demographic factors was collected using a structured interviewer-administered questionnaire. All participants were characterized as non-vegetarians, lacto-vegetarians (those who consumed no animal products except dairy) or lacto-ovo-vegetarians (persons whose diet also included eggs). The study population included 400 breast cancer cases and 354 controls. Most (62%) were lacto-ovo-vegetarians. Breast cancer risk was lower in lacto-ovo-vegetarians compared to both non-vegetarians and lacto-vegetarians with odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) of 0.6 (0.3–0.9) and 0.4 (0.3–0.7), respectively. The unexpected difference between lacto-ovo-vegetarian and lacto-vegetarian dietary patterns could be due to egg-consumption patterns which requires confirmation and further investigation.

“…Adequate intake of fiber and green vegetables, fruits, vegetables, lean proteins and whole grains has been associated with reduced serum levels of estradiol and estrogen and increased sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) 15 . Estrogen levels are related to susceptibility to breast cancer development 8,16 .…”

O câncer de mama é uma doença que acomete mulheres em todo o mundo, sendo por isso um problema de saúde de preocupação global. Apesar dos avanços científicos e tecnológicos nas pesquisas básicas e nos estudos clínicos, o câncer de mama ainda apresenta inúmeras barreiras que necessitam ser transpostas, a fim de garantir melhor sobrevida às pacientes acometidas por essa doença. A atuação da ciência consiste não apenas em prever as melhores formas de tratamento, mas também de como evitar o aparecimento dos sintomas e, por consequência, do tumor. Artigos recentes discutem inúmeros fatores que podem contribuir para a iniciação e progressão tumoral. São considerados os hábitos sociais, como o ato de fumar, ingestão de bebidas alcoólicas, dietas que contribuam para a hiperlipidemia ou aumento da disponibilidade de moléculas antagonistas que agem sobre a célula de modo a construir um microambiente favorável à tumorigênese. Além disso, fatores ligados ao histórico familiar e predisposição hereditária são importantes, apesar de explicar uma parcela mínima dos casos. Com isso, o presente artigo tem por objetivo abordar sobre fatores de risco modificáveis e não modificáveis, relacionados com a progressão do câncer de mama. ABSTRACTBreast cancer is a disease that affects women worldwide, and therefore is a health problem of global concern. Despite scientific and technological advances in basic researches and in clinical studies, breast cancer still presents numerous obstacles that need to be overcome in order to ensure better survival for patients affected by this disease. Science's work is not only to predict the best methods of treatment, but also to prevent the onset of symptoms and, consequently, of the tumor. Recent articles discuss numerous factors which may contribute to tumor initiation and progression. They take into consideration social habits, such as smoking, alcohol drinking, diets that contribute to hyperlipidemia or increased availability of antagonist molecules that act on the cell in order to create a favorable microenvironment to tumorigenesis. In addition to that, factors related to family history and hereditary predisposition are important, even though they explain a minimal portion of cases. Thus, the purpose of this article is to address modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors, related to breast cancer progression.
