Nutrition and breast cancer
1979
Dickerson, John W.T.
Present evidence suggests that a high fat intake may be one of the factors in the etiology of breast cancer. The relationship may be explained on the basis of the effect of high fat diets on hormones. Patients with breast cancer may show an increased requirement for thiamin particularly when treated with 5-fluorouracil, and a number of metabolic disturbances in which ascorbic acid may play a central role. Several metabolic changes are explained.
