Diet Matters in Breast Cancer Prognosis: Clinical Trial Evidence and Questions

Anne McTiernan. Clin Cancer Res. .

Abstract

Diet and weight matter in breast cancer prognosis. The DIANA-5 randomized controlled trial found no effect of a Mediterranean macrobiotic diet on 5-year breast cancer recurrence, but high adherence was associated with a 41% lower risk of recurrence versus controls. The effects of substantial weight loss on prognosis remain unknown. See related article by Berrino et al., p. 965.
