“…The results of our study were similar to previous meta-analysis studies that found a statistically significantly inverse association between migraine and the total risk of breast cancer [26]. Also, in this study, as in previous meta-analyzes, a statistically inverse association between migraine and breast cancer was seen in case control studies [25].…”

“…This relationship was not seen in cohort studies [ 24 ]. In addition, an inverse relationship between migraine and histological subtype (ductal and lobular breast cancer) was seen [ 24 – 26 ]. Although previous studies have seen this relationship between migraine and breast cancer with respect to ER+/PR+ status [ 24 – 26 ], but in our findings, there was no association between migraine and risk of breast cancer with respect to ER_PR status.…”

“…However, in some cohort studies, there was no association between migraines and breast cancer [ 23 , 24 ]. The results of meta-analyzes implicated that there is a statistically significant inverse association between migraine and the risk of breast cancer [ 24 – 26 ]. The interaction between breast cancer and migraine is complex and not fully elucidated [ 27 ].…”

Background Migraines is likely to play a protective role in the risk of breast cancer. Some studies have shown that there is an inverse relationship between migraine and breast cancer, and some studies have not found an association; therefore, results from previous studies have been inconclusive and we conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate association between migraine and breast cancer. Methods PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus and Web of Science were searched to identify studies on the association between migraine and breast cancer from January 1, 2000 through March 12, 2021. The pooled relative risk (RR) and the 95% confidence intervals (CI) was used to measure this relationship by assuming a random effects meta-analytic model. Results A total of 10 studies were included. Our study revealed that there was statistically significant inverse relationship between migraine and breast cancer in case-control studies 0.68 [95% CI: 0.56, 0.82], but no significant relationship was found in cohort studies 0.98 [95% CI: 0.91, 1.06]. Also, migraine reduced the risk of ductal carcinoma 0.84 [95% CI: 0.73, 0.96], and lobular carcinoma 0.83 [95% CI: 0.73, 0.96]. With respect to ER_PR status no association between migraine and breast cancer was found. We found no evidence of publication bias. Conclusion Our analysis demonstrated a statistically significantly inverse relationship between migraine and total risk of breast cancer only in case-control studies. In summary, cohort studies do not support an inverse association between migraine and incident breast cancer. While in case-control studies, migraine has an inverse association with ductal carcinoma and lobular carcinoma of breast.

“…The results of a meta-analysis showed that women who consumed red meat had a higher risk of BC. Further studies are required to investigate this association [62]. Human carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is the prototypic member of a family of highly related cell surface glycoproteins that includes carcinoembryonic antigenrelated cell adhesion molecule 6 (CEACAM6) and others.…”

This article presents a review of the impact of nutrition and lifestyle on the most frequently occurring cancers, including blood, bone, brain, breast, gastric, lung, oral, pancreatic and skin cancers. Heart disease and cancer are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality and the first and second leading causes of death in the United States. Risk of death declined more steeply for heart disease than cancer, offsetting the increase in heart disease deaths, which partially offsets the increase in cancer deaths resulting from demographic changes over the past four decades. Lung cancer is by far the most common cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide in many countries. The incidence rates of lung, colorectal and prostate cancers will continue to rise in the future decades due to the rise of ageing population. Pancreatic cancer is an aggressive malignancy with a poor long-term survival and there has been only slight improvement in outcomes over the past 30 years. Some of the most common contributing factors to various cancers include: genetics, tobacco use, infections, obesity, poor diet, physical inactivity, environmental pollution and hazards, ionizing and ultra-violet radiation (UVR), sunlight, cancer causing substances, chronic inflammation and immunosuppression. This article summarizes recent and tangible cancer control measures which include early detection, weight control, Mediterranean type diet, phytochemicals such as flavonoids, regular physical activity, therapeutic agents, chemotherapy, nano-medicine, medicinal plants and education through mass media awareness.

“…Changing patterns of demographic, social, and economical aspects of life has led to changes in reproductive patterns, ageing and increases of life-expectancy in most regions of the world. Therefore, cancers associated with infectious causes have been replaced by cancers associated with life style factors such as diet, and hormonal factors [4] [5]. Despite the high incidence in developed countries, BC mortality imposes the greater burden in developing world due to urbanizations, westernization, and increased life expectancy [6] [7], as well as unequal distribution of resources such as access to medical care, physician distribution; and psychological factors such as stress, or lack of social support [8]- [11] as important related factors have been reported.…”

Background: This study aimed to identify the role of human development index (HDI) in the incidence and mortality rates of breast cancer (BC) worldwide. Methods: Data on the age-standardized incidence and mortality rates of BC for 184 countries were obtained from the GLOBOCAN. Data about the HDI and other indices were obtained from the World Bank Report 2013. Linear regression model was used for assessment the effect of HDI on BC occurrence rates. Results: In 2012, BCs were estimated to have affected a total of 1,671,149 individuals (crude rate: 47.8 per 100,000 individuals), and caused 521,907 deaths worldwide (crude rate: 14.7 per 100,000 individuals). Nearly half of total female BC cases (46.3%) with the highest risk of incidence (age-standardized Rate (ASR): 128 per 100,000) had occurred in very high HDI regions. The most proportion of the mortality burden was in low HDI and medium HDI areas. Linear regression analyses showed a direct significant correlation between the incidence of BC and HDI at the global level (B = 104.5, P < 0.001). The mortality rate of BC was not significantly associated with HDI (B = 3.26, P = 0.160).
