Abstract:Breast cancer (BCa) has many well-known risk factors, including age, genetics, lifestyle, and diet; however, the influence of the gut microbiome on BCa remains an emerging area of investigation. This study explores the connection between the gut microbiome, dietary habits, and BCa risk. We enrolled newly diagnosed BCa patients and age-matched cancer-free controls in a case-control study. Comprehensive patient data was collected, including dietary habits assessed through the National Cancer Institute Diet Histo… Show more
“…[3][4][5][6] Within this array of factors, there is a growing body of evidence highlighting the significance of dietary factors in breast cancer development. [7][8][9] Both experimental studies and human data have indicated that high consumption of dietary fat is linked to an increased incidence of the disease and elevated breast cancer risk. [10][11][12] Our particular interest is saturated fatty acids (SFAs), a specific group of fatty acids characterized by the absence of double bonds between carbon atoms.…”
The impact of dietary saturated fatty acids (SFAs) on breast cancer risk may vary depending on their carbon chain lengths, attributable to the discrepancy in their dietary sources and biological...
