Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers a topic of considerable current interest and presents many of the most significant research findings available to date. Workers at the forefront of research on hormone replacement therapy and the implications for the risk of breast cancer were invited to attend a special Conference at the Royal Society of Medicine in London in September, 1991, where the latest data were presented to a distinguished audience and the implications of this research were discussed. The volume reviews various aspects of HRT and breast cancer, the physiology of the menopause, the current use of HRT in practice, osteoporosis and epidemiology and presents results from a range of European, American and Australian studies on the role of breast cancer and HRT, finishing with an overview of benefits, use and cost-effectiveness and a general summary. The book represents a definitive statement of current knowledge in this field and an informative update on the implications of recent research. It will be a valuable addition of special significance to the libraries of all those concerned with hormone replacement therapy and the study of breast cancer.
Download or read book Diet and Breast Cancer written by American Institute for Cancer Research and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fourth annual American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR) conference on diet, nutrition and cancer was held at the L'Enfant Plaza Hotel in Washington, D. C. , September 2~3, 1993. In keeping with present concerns and in line with current trends, the theme was "Diet and Breast Cancer. " This proceedings volume is comprised of chapters from the platform presentations of the two day conference and abstracts from the poster session held at the end of the first day. Experimentally, there is sufficient evidence to support a relationship between dietary fat and the risk of breast cancer. A meta-analysis was provided by data from 114 experiments with over 10,000 animals, divided into groups fed ad libitum on diets with different levels or sources of fat, or different levels of energy restriction. This exercise suggested that linoleic acid was a major determinant of mammary tumor development but that other fatty acids also enhanced mammary tumor development in animals. However, as mentioned by several speakers, results from epidemiological studies often are conflicting, thus leading to confusion among both health professionals and the public. Surveys of specific populations which have migrated from countries with low breast cancer rates to those with higher rates are often some of the most compelling studies with respect to a high fat diet-breast cancer association. Nonetheless, various cohort and prospective studies, some quite large, did not appear to show a relationship between consumption of fat (any type) and breast cancer.

This book was released on 2014-03-06 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Nordic countries have collaborated in setting guidelines for dietary composition and recommended intakes of nutrients for several decades through the joint publication of the Nordic Nutrition Recommendations (NNR). This 5th edition, the NNR 2012, gives Dietary Reference Values (DRVs) for nutrients, and compared with earlier editions more emphasis has been put on evaluating the scientific evidence for the role of food and food patterns contributing to the prevention of the major diet-related chronic diseases. Recommendations on physical activity are included and interaction with physical activity has been taken into account for the individual nutrient recommendations wherever appropriate. A chapter on sustainable food consumption has been added. A Nordic perspective has been accounted for in setting the reference values.The NNR 2012 has used an evidence-based and transparent approach in assessing associations between nutrients and foods and certain health outcomes. Systematic reviews form the basis for the recommendations of several nutrients and topics, while a less stringent update has been done for others. The systematic reviews and individual chapters have been peer reviewed and the systematic reviews are published in the Food & Nutrition Research journal. The draft chapters were subject to an open public consultation. Recommendations have been changed only when sufficient scientific evidence has evolved since the 4th edition. The primary aim of the NNR 2012 is to present the scientific background of the recommendations and their application. A secondary aim is for the NNR 2012 to function as a basis for the national recommendations that are adopted by the individual

Download or read book The Effect of Family History of Breast Cancer and Breast Biopsies on Breast Cancer Risk and Outcomes in the California Teachers Study Cohort written by Salma Chehabi and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed invasive cancer in women in the United States. Factors that influence the relationship between family history of breast cancer, history of non-diagnostic breast biopsy, and breast cancer risk are not fully understood. This study explored the relationships between family history of breast cancer, biopsy history, and breast cancer outcome. The associations between tumor characteristics such as stage of diagnosis, tumor size, histology, receptor status, survival, and family and biopsy history were examined. The dataset used for this study was from the California Teachers Study (CTS) cohort. The CTS is a long-term, follow-up (prospective cohort) study of 133,479 female teachers and school administrators. In 1995 and 1996, participants completed an extensive questionnaire that focused on lifestyle, medical history, and women's health. Follow up data collection is done annually. The outcomes data used for this study is as of 2010. Our results show a positive association between family history of breast cancer and history of non-diagnostic breast biopsy, however, having a history of breast biopsy was not associated with early stage at diagnosis, tumor grade, tumor size, or receptor status of breast cancer. Our results also indicate that women with positive family history of breast cancer, post-menopausal women, pre- and post-menopausal African American women, women who have regular mammograms, and women on hormone therapy are more likely to report a history of breast biopsy. We conclude that history of non-diagnostic breast biopsy is not associated with breast cancer risk prediction or disease outcome.

Chances are you know someone who has had it. But did you know that choices you make every day bring you closer to breast cancer—or move you farther away?

Sections cover nutrition and exercise, behavioral psychology, public policy, and management of a range of disorders, including cardiovascular disease, endocrine and metabolic dysfunction, obesity, cancer, immunology and infectious diseases, pulmonary disorders, and many more.
