Enhancing Breast Cancer Survival: The Power of Nutrition and Inflammation
- Breast cancer stands as a leading cause of mortality among women aged 44-55 globally. Inflammatory diets can foster a carcinogenic environment, affecting clinical outcomes in breast cancer survivors.
- Pannu and Constantinou’s review (2023) aims to shed light on recent studies linking inflammation, nutrition, and clinical results in breast cancer survivors.
- Pro-inflammatory diets correlate with higher mortality post-diagnosis and poorer treatment outcomes. Conversely, anti-inflammatory diets can aid in reducing tissue-level inflammation, potentially improving survivors’ prognosis and quality of life.
- Notably, the Mediterranean diet shows promise in reducing recurrence risk and enhancing survivor quality of life. This review highlights the significant link between inflammation, dietary habits, and clinical outcomes for breast cancer survivors.
