Summary: Breast cancer is a global public health problem and there is increasing interest in prevention strategies as its incidence rises. A healthy dietary pattern, such as the Mediterranean diet, with high levels of fiber, phytochemicals, antioxidants, and advantageous fatty acids, is considered a promising approach to reduce breast cancer risk. This review summarizes the important active compounds in preventing breast cancer, including polyunsaturated fatty acids, fiber, phytochemicals, and alcohol. While the exact mechanism is not well understood, the combination of these elements in a healthy diet plays a role in reducing breast cancer risk.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between pre-diagnostic dietary patterns related to inflammatory, insulin, and estrogenic pathways and breast cancer (BC) survival. The results showed that adherence to an anti-diabetic and anti-inflammatory diet was associated with lower overall mortality among BC survivors, while no significant association was found with the estrogen-related dietary pattern. Therefore, following these dietary patterns could potentially improve the prognosis of BC survivors.

Summary: Higher adherence to a plant-based diet index and a hypothesized healthful plant-based diet index was associated with a lower risk of breast cancer, while adherence to an unhealthful version of a plant-based diet index was linked to a higher risk.

Summary: Only two-thirds of Americans meet the recommended 7 hours of sleep nightly. Insufficient sleep and circadian disruption have been associated with adverse health outcomes. Studies have found that artificial light at night, noise, and air pollution are associated with shorter sleep duration, while green space is associated with longer sleep duration and shorter latency.

Summary: This large prospective cohort study suggests a positive association between dietary acrylamide and breast cancer risk, especially in premenopausal females. Therefore, the reduction of acrylamide content in food should continue.

Summary: This study found a positive association between air pollution and mortality among breast cancer patients. Both gaseous and particulate pollutants had harmful impacts on breast cancer survival. These findings suggest the importance of maintaining clean air laws to improve survival for breast cancer patients.

Summary: This study found that adhering to a healthful plant-based diet was associated with a reduced risk of all-cause and non-breast-cancer mortality, while adherence to an unhealthful plant-based diet was associated with increased mortality risks. No associations were observed with recurrence or breast-cancer-specific mortality.

Summary: The study found that during the postpartum period, consuming a diet high in desserts and crackers may increase the risk of dental caries, but this effect is attenuated among those who also consume a diet high in fruits and vegetables. Dietary patterns should be considered when devising interventions aimed at preventing dental caries.

Summary: This study found that higher dietary fat intake (>32%) may increase the risk of peri- and postmenopausal breast cancer in women. Unhealthy dietary patterns characterized by the consumption of highly processed, high in sugar foods and animal fat foods were positively associated with fat intake, while a pro-healthy diet rich in low-processed plant foods, fish, and moderate consumption of low-fat dairy was inversely associated with fat intake.

Summary: This study found that adherence to plant-based diets with a higher intake of healthy plant foods and a lower intake of less healthy plant foods is associated with a reduced risk of colorectal cancer in men, but not in women. The strength of this association may vary by race, ethnicity, and anatomic subsite of tumors in men.

Summary: The study found that the combination treatment of dietary phytochemicals and different diet types has inhibitory effects on breast cancer metastasis, with enhanced effects when combined. The in vivo CTC capture method allows dynamic monitoring of cancer metastasis over time, providing a useful approach for real-time evaluation of treatment effects.

Summary: This study evaluates the association between aspirin use and breast cancer risk, finding inconsistent results. The use of low-dose aspirin is associated with a reduced risk of ER-positive breast cancer, especially in women aged 65 years and above, as well as overweight women.

Summary: This study aimed to develop two digital psychosocial stress-management interventions, namely cognitive behavioral therapy-based intervention (CBI) and mindfulness-based intervention (MBI), for survivors of breast cancer. Through extensive collaboration, researchers successfully developed these two interventions for survivors of breast cancer and made improvements through iterative user testing.

Summary: This study assessed the prognostic effect of aspirin, statins, and metformin in breast cancer patients, with inconclusive results. It found evidence supporting an association between post-diagnostic use of statins and metformin and survival in patients with breast cancer, with potential differences according to estrogen receptor status.
