Summary: The traditional Mediterranean Diet, rich in bioactive compounds like polyphenols, retinoids, and PUFAs, has been shown to have beneficial effects against chronic illnesses. These compounds possess antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antitumoral properties, making them potential candidates for future anticancer therapeutics in breast cancer.

Summary: This study found that higher dietary intakes of trans fatty acids, especially industrial trans fatty acids, were associated with an increased risk of breast cancer among over 318,000 women. This association was consistent across menopausal status, body mass index, and breast cancer subtypes. Further mechanistic studies are needed to explore the underlying biological pathways.

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of calorie-restricted Mediterranean and low-fat diets on patients with NAFLD. Both diets resulted in significant weight loss and improvements in liver status and cardiometabolic markers. The Mediterranean diet may have additional benefits compared to the low-fat diet by improving fatty acid profiles and FLI in NAFLD patients.

Summary: This study aimed to explore differences in proteomic profiles for individuals with different DNA damage and EPA/DHA levels, finding that low levels of n-3 long-chain PUFA may have a less protective role against DNA damage through the expression of pro-inflammatory proteins such as CDK8-CCNC, PIK3CA-PIK3R1, KYNU, and PRKCB.

Summary: This study found that supplementation of fish oil with an appropriate higher ratio of DHA (1.5:1) can alleviate insulin resistance, reduce adipocyte hypertrophy and oxidative stress, improve lipid metabolism, and reduce hepatic steatosis in high-fat diet-induced insulin resistance mice.

Summary: This study found an association between olive oil consumption and a lower risk of cancer and better prognosis. Higher olive oil consumption was correlated with a decreased likelihood of developing any cancer, breast cancer, gastrointestinal cancer, upper aerodigestive cancer, and urinary tract cancer.

Summary: The study found that adherence to the Mediterranean diet and physical activity before diagnosis can have a beneficial impact on overall survival in prostate cancer patients, mainly driven by a reduction in non-prostate cancer mortality, which accounts for about 80% of deaths in men with prostate cancer.

Summary: Cancer burden is increasing rapidly globally, with lifestyle factors such as unhealthy diet being major contributors. The specific fatty acids that contribute to a healthy and balanced diet in terms of cancer risk and prognosis are still unclear. This review explores the associations between intake of different fatty acids and cancer risk, as well as the effects of specific fatty acids on tumor cells and inflammation-induced cancer progression, highlighting challenges and opportunities for fatty acid tailored nutritional interventions.

Summary: Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed male malignancy in the Western world. Metabolic reprogramming and epigenetic remodeling play important roles in the progression and therapy resistance of prostate cancer, and there is crosstalk between metabolism and epigenetics. A high-fat diet has been associated with prostate cancer progression. Understanding these alterations and mechanisms can help identify prognostic and predictive biomarkers, as well as targetable vulnerabilities.

Summary: A diet rich in lard increases the risk of prostate cancer development and progression. Two mouse models fed with lard-enriched diets showed enhanced prostate cancer progression and weight gain compared to a fish oil diet. The composition of gut microbiota differed significantly between the two diets, with changes in bacterial species such as Clostridiales and Lactobacillales. The proportion of Lactobacillales in the gut was negatively associated with weight gain and prostate cancer progression. The study also identified genes involved in lipid metabolism and cholesterol biosynthesis that correlated with the abundance of Lactobacillales in the gut.

Summary: Androgen deprivation therapy in prostate cancer patients affects bone metabolism, with sclerostin, DKK-1, and OPG levels showing significant differences between ADT and non-ADT groups. Changes in DKK-1 and OPG levels were seen in longitudinal analysis, while correlations were found between sclerostin levels and BMD as well as testosterone levels.

Summary: This study analyzed multiple datasets and found significant associations between prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and demographic, lifestyle, and clinical data. The study also found variability in the correlation of PSA with age and genetic factors among different populations. The findings suggest that unique PSA cut-off thresholds, factored with demographics, lifestyle, and genetics, may be more appropriate for prostate cancer screening.
