Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is overexpressed in many human cancers and converts the n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) arachidonic acid to prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)), which drives tumorigenesis; in contrast, n-3 PUFA inhibit tumorigenesis. We tested the hypothesis that these antitumor actions of
BACKGROUND
Animal studies suggest that monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fat may have opposite effects on the risk of breast cancer.
METHODS
We performed a population-based prospective cohort study, including 61,471 women aged 40 to 76 years from 2 counties in central Sweden who did not have any
BACKGROUND
The relationship between the intake of olive oil, the richest dietary source of the monounsaturated fatty acid oleic acid (OA; 18:1n-9), and breast cancer risk and progression has become a controversial issue. Moreover, it has been suggested that the protective effects of olive oil
The authors assessed the association between serum phospholipid fatty acids as biomarkers of fatty acid intake and breast cancer risk among women in the E3N Study (1989-2002), the French component of the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition. During an average of 7 years of
The strongest evidence that monunsaturated fat may influence breast cancer risk comes from studies of southern European populations, in whom intake of oleic acid sources, particularly olive oil, appears protective. No previous study has examined the relation of adipose tissue fatty acid content to
Changes in cellular lipid metabolism are a common feature in most solid tumors, which occur already in early stages of the tumor progression. However, it remains unclear if the tumor-specific lipid changes can be detected at the level of systemic lipid metabolism. The objective of this study was to
BACKGROUND
The authors sought to determine whether prediagnosis obesity, body-fat distribution, and dietary intake of fats, antioxidants, and fiber may be related to survival after the diagnosis of breast cancer.
METHODS
The mortality rates of 698 postmenopausal patients with unilateral breast
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the feasibility of integrating a program based on dietary fat intake reduction into adjuvant treatment strategies for postmenopausal women receiving therapy for early breast cancer.
METHODS
Two hundred ninety postmenopausal women with localized (stage I to IIIa) breast cancer
The relationship between frequency of intake of different types of fat and breast cancer was investigated in a case-control study conducted in Montevideo, Uruguay, during the time period 1994-1996. Our study comprised 365 cases and 397 controls. A moderate and non-significant increase in risk of
In 1997 the current database for the relation of polyunsaturated fatty acids in the diet to breast cancer was extensively reviewed by expert committees of the American Institute for Cancer Research and the World Cancer Research Fund. They concluded: "Diets high in polyunsaturated or vegetable fats
Multiple factors contribute to the development of human breast cancer. However, environmental factors, especially dietary factors, appear to have the greatest effects. Evidence obtained in epidemiological studies has been corroborated by laboratory findings. Dietary components strongly associated
The relationship between dietary fat and subsequent risk of breast cancer was studied in 3988 initially cancer-free Finnish women aged 20-69 y. During a follow-up period of 20 y, 54 breast-cancer cases were diagnosed. Risk of breast cancer was significantly inversely related to energy intake and
The influence of nutrition on breast cancer prognosis is still inconclusive and therefore dietary interventions incorporating dietary biomarkers are needed to confirm compliance with dietary goals and clarify biological mechanisms. The present study assessed whether a lifestyle OBJECTIVE
To explore dietary risk factors, in particular fat intake, for breast cancer, using an approach to reduce recall bias of subjects and so provide a more reliable estimate of dietary intake than previous similar studies.
METHODS
A case-control study of women aged 50-65 years attending the
