Introduction: Breast cancer is the second most common cancer in the world, and the most frequent cancer among women. Moreover, there are factors that influence the risk for breast cancer including the age, genetic and endocrine factors, and lifestyle.Objectives: Evaluate the consumption of fatty acids; compare the fatty acids composition in the breast adipose tissue of women with breast cancer and benign breast disease as well as potential risk factors; and describe the genotypic frequency of the Pro12Ala PPARγpolymorphism.Material and Methods: A hospital-based case-control study was conducted including incident cases (n = 38 breast cancer; n = 75 benign breast disease; n = 166 control). Lifestyle features, socioeconomic issues, dietary intake, anthropometry, and blood and tissue data were assessed.Results: No differences were observed for fatty acids intake. Interestingly, lauric acid (P = 0.001), myristic acid (P = 0.036), stearic acid (P = 0.031), and total saturated fatty acids (SFAs) (P=0.048) had lower concentrations in BC than in BBD women, while palmitoleic acid (P = 0.022), erucic acid (P = 0.002), total monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) (P = 0.039) and oleic acid/stearic acid ratio (P = 0.015) increased. There was no significant association between PPARγ polymorphism and studied groups (P = 0.977). The age at first full pregnancy (P = 0.004) was significantly associated with the development BC, whereas BMI (P = 0.005); percentage of body fat (P = 0.024); physical activity (P = 0.036); and age at menarche (P = 0.008), at first full pregnancy (P < 0.001), and of first mammogram (P = 0.018) were significantly associated with the development of BBD.Conclusion: The results suggest a different fatty acids composition of breast adipose tissue, a biomarker of long-term dietary intake, particularly for SFAs, MUFA and 18: 1 n-9/18: 00 ratio. Our findings also show that are differences in the factors related to the development of BC and BBC.

TPS1589 Background: The most aggressive breast cancer subtypes tend to be estrogen and progesterone receptor negative (ERPR(-)) and human epidermal growth factor receptor type 2 positive (HER2(+)). Women with these breast cancer subtypes (triple negative, ERPR(-)HER2(+)) tend to experience worse clinical outcomes and have a relatively higher risk of recurrence. Our previous research demonstrated that dietary omega-3 (n-3) fatty acids can significantly inhibit ERPR(-) HER2(+) tumorigenesis in MMTV-HER2/neu transgenic mice fed fish oil vs corn oil-based diets. The fish oil diet group developed 30% fewer breast tumors, had lower Ki67 expression, and experienced less mammary atypia relative to the corn oil diet group. Other studies involving diet, nutrition and breast cancer point to the potentially protective effect of an anti-inflammatory diet on the risk of developing ER(-) and HER2(+) breast cancer, further supporting the evidence that the ERPR(-), HER2(±) subtypes may be highly responsive to this bioactive nutrient. Methods: This is a double-blinded, randomized clinical trial of high dose (~5.4 g EPA+DHA) vs low dose (~0.9 g EPA+DHA in fatty acid mix of the typical American diet) of n-3 fatty acids in breast cancer survivors of ERPR(-), HER2(±) breast cancer. Eligible participants will take 5 capsules/day for 12 months, with cellular samples of breast epithelial and/or adipose tissue obtained by fine needle aspirations of the contralateral breast. The study aims to determine whether n-3 fatty acid supplementation will modify fatty acid metabolite content in breast adipose tissue, modulate cytomorphology and/or cell proliferation in breast epithelial cells, affect DNA methylation patterns, and modulate pro- vs anti-inflammatory gene expression patterns in breast adipose tissue. Correlative aims will evaluate possible associations between factors such as breast adipose tissue, red cell membrane fatty acid profiles, BMI, and reported dietary intake. Sample size of 40 participants per arm was calculated to provide at least 80% power to detect a statistically significant difference for each primary endpoint. This study focuses on women survivors of high risk breast cancer subtypes, specifically triple negative or ERPR(-)HER2(+) disease, who are currently without long term adjuvant options. Eligibility criteria include prior diagnosis of ERPR(-) stage 0 to III breast cancer, ≤5 years from completion of standard therapy.The study was closed to accrual in November 2018; less than 9 months of follow-up remain for active study participants. Clinical trial information: NCT02295059.

In the present study, we investigated various biochemical, clinical, and histological factors associated with bone metastases in a large cohort of pre- and postmenopausal women with breast cancer. Two hundred and sixty-one consecutive women with breast cancer were included in this study. Breast adipose tissue specimens were collected during surgery. After having established the fatty acid profile of breast adipose tissue by gas chromatography, we determined whether there were differences associated with the occurrence of bone metastases in these patients. Regarding the clinical and histological criteria, a majority of the patients with bone metastases (around 70%) had tumors with a luminal phenotype and 59% of them showed axillary lymph node involvement. Moreover, we found a negative association between the levels of n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) in breast adipose tissue and the development of bone metastases in premenopausal women. No significant association was observed in postmenopausal women. In addition to a luminal phenotype and axillary lymph node involvement, low levels of n-3 LC-PUFA in breast adipose tissue may constitute a risk factor that contributes to breast cancer bone metastases formation in premenopausal women.

Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) bioaccumulate in the food chain and have been detected in human blood and adipose tissue. Experimental studies demonstrated that POPs can cause and promote growth of breast cancer. However, inconsistent results from epidemiological studies do not support a causal relationship between POPs and breast cancer in women. To identify individual POPs that are repeatedly found to be associated with both breast cancer incidence and progression, and to demystify the observed inconsistencies between epidemiological studies, we conducted a systematic review of 95 studies retrieved from three main electronic databases. While no clear pattern of associations between blood POPs and breast cancer incidence could be drawn, POPs measured in breast adipose tissue were more clearly associated with higher breast cancer incidence. POPs were more consistently associated with worse breast cancer prognosis whether measured in blood or breast adipose tissue. In contrast, POPs measured in adipose tissue other than breast were inversely associated with both breast cancer incidence and prognosis. Differences in biological tissues used for POPs measurement and methodological biases explain the discrepancies between studies results. Some individual compounds associated with both breast cancer incidence and progression, deserve further investigation.
