Purpose To assess whether the effect of a low-fat dietary pattern on breast cancer incidence varied by report of baseline vasomotor symptoms. Methods Postmenopausal women age 50 to 79 years enrolled onto the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) Dietary Modification trial from 1993 to 1998 were randomly assigned to a low-fat dietary intervention (n = 19,541) or comparison (n = 29,294). Presence of vasomotor symptoms at baseline was ascertained from a 34-item self-report symptom inventory. Women were queried semi-annually for a new diagnosis of breast cancer. Each case report was verified by medical record and pathology report review by centrally trained WHI physician adjudicators. Results Among participants who reported hot flashes (HFs) at baseline (n = 3,375), those assigned to the low-fat diet had a breast cancer rate of 0.27 compared with their counterparts in the control group who had a rate of 0.41 (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.65; 95% CI, 0.42 to 1.01). Among women reporting no HFs (n = 45,160), the breast cancer rate was 0.42 in those assigned to the low-fat diet compared with 0.46 in the control group (HR = 0.93; 95% CI, 0.84 to 1.03; P for interaction = .12 by HF status). Furthermore, the dietary benefits observed seemed to be specific to estrogen receptor (ER) –positive/progesterone receptor (PR) –positive tumors (ER positive/PR positive v other, P for risk = .03). Although women with and without HFs differed with regard to breast cancer risk factors, the effect of the diet intervention on breast cancer incidence by HF status was consistent across risk factor strata. Conclusion The results of this trial, which are hypothesis generating, suggest that HFs may identify a subgroup of postmenopausal women whose risk of invasive breast cancer might be reduced with the adoption of a low-fat eating pattern.

Abstract Background The role that diet plays in the development of breast cancer is unclear and breast cancer continues to increase in Colombia and worldwide. The objective of this study was to assess the association between patterns of dietary consumption and the incidence of breast cancer. Methods An ecological study was conducted in 24 geodemographic units in which 95% of the women of Colombia live. The association between breast cancer rate (dependent variable) and three dietary patterns established with factor analysis (traditional/starch, fiber/dairy and snack) was investigated using simple and multiple linear regression. The use of variables related to socioeconomic context and the duration of breastfeeding allowed for the control of possible confounding. All information was derived from concurrent national surveys or was obtained directly over a period of time close to the period during which the study was conducted. Results There is an inverse relationship between breast cancer rate and illiteracy rate (β=−2808.3), duration of breastfeeding (β=−3354.1), adherence to traditional/fiber dietary patterns (β=−30467) and adherence to the snack dietary pattern (β=−43612). The goodness of fit for the model was R2=84%. Conclusions Increasing the duration of breastfeeding, ensuring education to promote health and following traditional food consumption patterns, regardless of what foods are consumed, can protect against the development of breast cancer.

Self Examination

Breast Self-Examination (BSE) is an important step for early detection of breast cancer and should begin when a woman has menstruated, with a sensitivity / ability to detect around 20-30% (Nisman, 2011). The latest data on 31 January 2019, the breast cancer rate was 42.1 / 100,000 population with an average death rate of 17 / 100,000 population. Cases of breast cancer today are also commonly found at a young age, ranging from 15 years, 17, 19 years. This means that there has been a shift at a young age, possibly due to lifestyle, pollution, stress (Ministry of Health, 2019). BPMUB is an organization where students from various faculties and forums gather to conduct community activities, with a total of 55 members, and is a representative of 9 faculties in Uniska Banjarbaru, 45% of whom are women. Based on a questionnaire distributed to 25 BPMUB female members, 16 people knowledge of breast cancer were in the poor category, only 9 people were knowledgeable enough. In addition, awareness to do breast self-examination is still low, this is again due to lack of knowledge. The solution provided is awareness education for early detection of breast cancer, with a target audience of 50 people. The method used is lecture, demonstration and question and answer. The outputs of this service are publications in the Abdimas Health Journal, Baiturahim Jambi Stikes, publications on social media namely facebook and instagram as well as providing improved health values. Counseling was carried out on 17 December 2019 and evaluated on 6 January 2020, and the result of this activity was the real support from the Head of UPT UNISKA Banjarbaru and other faculty managers, enthusiasm from the target with attention and many questions both in activities and outside activities. Evaluation 2 weeks after socialization found 100% answered all questionnaires about BSE correctly. This means an increase in knowledge of the respondents. Socialization by providing these skills needs to be carried out continuously.

1 Background: Breast-MRI is currently recommended for screening women at high-risk of breast-cancer only. However, despite decades of mammographic-screening, breast-cancer continues to represent a major cause of cancer-death also for women at average-risk – suggesting a need for improved methods for early diagnosis also for these women. Therefore, we investigated the utility of supplemental MRI-screening of women who carry an average-risk of breast-cancer. Methods: Prospective observational cohort-study conducted in two academic breast-centers on asymptomatic women at average-risk in the usual age range for screening-mammography (40 to 70). Women underwent DCE-breast-MRI in addition to mammography every 12, 24, or 36 months, plus follow-up of 2 years to establish a standard-of-reference. We report on the supplemental-cancer-yield, interval-cancer-rate, diagnostic accuracy of screening-MRI, and biologic profiles of additional, MRI-detected breast-cancers. Results: 2120 women underwent a total 3861 MRI-studies covering 7007 women-years. Breast-cancer was diagnosed in 61/2120 women (DCIS: 20, invasive: 41), and ADH/LIN in another 21. Interval-cancer-rate was 0%, irrespective of screening interval. Forty-eight women were diagnosed with breast-cancer at prevalence-screening by MRI alone (supplemental cancer-detection-rate: 22.6 per 1000); 13 women were diagnosed with breast-cancer in 1741 incidence-screening-rounds collected over 4887 women-years. A total 12 of these 13 incident cancers were diagnosed by screening-MRI alone (supplemental-cancer-detection-rate: 6.9 per 1000), one by MRI and mammography, none by mammography alone. Supplemental-cancer-detection-rate was independent of mammographic breast-density. Invasive cancers were small (mean size: 8mm), node-negative in 93.4%, ER/PR-negative in 32.8%, and de-differentiated in 41.7% at prevalence, and 46.0% at incidence-screening. Specificity of MRI-screening was 97.1%, False-Positive-Rate 2.9%. Conclusions: MRI-screening improves detection of biologically relevant breast-cancer in women at average-risk, and reduces the interval-cancer-rate down to 0%, at a low false-positive rate.
