Nutritional supplements & breast cancer
There is a growing evidence that lifestyle factors, including diet, body weight and physical activity, may be associated with higher breast cancer risk . However, the effect of dietary factors on Breast cancer recurrence and mortality is not clearly understood.
However, a healthy dietary pattern characterized by high intake of unrefined cereals, vegetables, fruit, nuts and olive oil, and a moderate/low consumption of saturated fatty acids and red meat, might improve overall survival after diagnosis of Breast cancer .
Breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy experience a variety of symptoms that worsen patient quality of life.
Studies investigating nutritional interventions during Breast cancer treatment have shown that nutritional counselling and supplementation with some dietary constituents, might be useful in limiting drug-induced side effects, as well as in enhancing therapeutic efficacy.
Therefore, nutritional intervention in Breast cancer patients may be considered an integral part of the multimodal therapeutic approach.
