Abstract: Breast cancer is a burden for western societies, and an increasing one in emerging economies, because of its high incidence and enormous psychological, social, sanitary and economic costs. However, breast cancer is a preventable disease in a significant proportion. Recent developments in the armamentarium of effective drugs for breast cancer prevention (namely exemestane and anastrozole), the new recommendation from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence to use preventative drugs in women at hig… Show more

“…In the recent past, cancer chemoprevention has been in the vogue in a substantial number of clinical and preclinical studies of several cancer types. Indeed, the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) and the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) endorsed breast cancer chemoprevention in their recent guidelines ( Alés-Martínez et al, 2015 ). Cancer chemoprevention involves utilizing natural, dietary or synthetic products to suppress or prevents cancer.…”

“…), aromatase inhibitors (exemestane, anastrozole, letrozole, etc.) have shown treatment efficacy, very high incidence of breast cancer warrants development of promising preventive strategies (Ales-Martinez et al, 2015;Decensi et al, 2015;Locatelli et al, 2018). In recent years, natural products and some antineoplastic agents such as tamoxifen or raloxifene have displayed potential in chemoprevention of breast cancer (Mitra and Dash, 2018;Uramova et al, 2018).…”

“…Early detection, a novel personalized approach to treatment, and a better knowledge of the disease have all contributed to an improvement in breast cancer survival rates and a steady decline in the number of deaths related with the disease (3). Current guidance on preventing and treating breast cancer, as well as what might cause it, has come mainly from information discovered from research studies (4). The most significant component of the methodological qualities of studies is associated with an increase in citations and a high impact factor of the journal in which it was published (5).…”
