Influence of diet on mammary cancer
1981
Carroll, Kenneth K.
Extract: Analysis of reported epidemiological data and experiments with animals indicate that dietary fat has an important influence on mammary cancer. Further epidemiological studies are needed to examine this relationship more fully; additional experimental work is required to determine the mechanisms by which dietary fat influences mammary cancer in animals. Dietary carbohydrate and minor dietary components, such as retinoids and certain trace elements, also appear to influence mammary cancer in animals. Decreasing the fat content of the diet may offer a practical means of reducing mortality from breast cancer, which continues to be a major cause of death in many parts of the world. (author/wz)
