“…In the context of nutrition, the assessment of quality of life also becomes significant. It has been proven that physical exercise and healthy eating lead to a reduction of body fat and an improvement in the quality of life of women [ 38 ]. A lifestyle change involving physical exercise and a low-calorie, healthy diet resulted in a reduction in depressive symptoms and normalisation of hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis regulation in women who were completing breast cancer treatment [ 39 ].…”

The present study examined dietary risk factors for breast cancer, their association with quality of life, and changes in eating habits in postmenopausal women after mastectomy. The study included 210 women with histologically confirmed invasive breast cancer and 225 women without a cancer diagnosis. Questionnaire data on frequency of intake of 40 different foods, the Block Food Frequency Questionnaire, and SF-36 for evaluation of quality of life were used. All questionnaire data in the patient group were collected after diagnosis. Questions about eating habits covered two time points—before breast cancer diagnosis and after completion of treatment. Logistic regression was applied to calculate the odds ratios of breast cancer risk and 95% confidence intervals. A significant positive association was found between the risk of breast cancer and more frequent intake of red meat, smoked products, offal, animal fat, white bread, potatoes, and sweets, high intake of total fat, and low consumption of dietary fibre. Foods that were inversely associated with the risk of breast cancer included fish, vegetables, fruit, wholemeal bread, and groats. The relationship between quality of life and dietary habits according to the Block Eating Frequency Questionnaire was analysed using multiple regression. It was shown that high intake of total fat reduces the quality of life in its mental components. We observed a positive change in eating habits after cancer diagnosis, albeit not always to the level in the control group. As an important lifestyle component, the diet is of great significance for primary prevention of breast cancer as well as for improving the quality of life of breast cancer patients.

“…Several factors, such as dietary changes, increased physical activity, vitamin D use and coffee intake, have been shown to be beneficial in the setting after colorectal cancer surgery. Although there are no randomized clinical trials that have evaluated the role of diet after surgery, at least two studies have shown that patients who were on a diet with increased processed meat, red meat, sweets and refined grains had increased recurrence rates and decreased disease-free survival (DFS) [ 31 , 32 , 33 ]. High glycemic index diets were also associated with decreased DFS among obese and overweight patients [ 33 , 34 ].…”

Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers in Europe and the world. Cancer treatments have side effects and cause significant deterioration of the patient’s nutritional status. Patient malnutrition may worsen the health condition and prevent the deliberate effects of the therapy. The aim of this review was to describe the available data about clinical nutrition in colorectal cancer patients. A large proportion of colorectal cancer patients suffer from malnutrition, which negatively affects the survival prognosis, quality of life, and oncological therapy. Therefore, monitoring nutritional status during the treatment is essential and can be used to arrange proper nutritional therapy to enhance patient responses, prevent side effects, and shorten recovery time. The principles of nutrition during anticancer therapy should mainly consider light and low-fat foods, the exclusion of lactose and gluten-containing foods in certain cases, or the introduction of special dietary products such as oral nutrition supplements and it should be tailored to patients’ individual needs.

“…Regarding dietary patterns interventions in cancer patients and survivors, a recent review and metanalysis highlighted that there is a good evidence of the effect of healthy diets on overall survival and quality of live for survivors of certain cancers, such as breast and colon cancer [ 54 ]. Although variability exists among studies and healthy diets’ definitions, some aspects are common, such as increased intakes of fruit, vegetables, and fish and reduced intake of saturated fats.…”

Fatty acids have an important place in both biological and nutritional contexts and, from a clinical point of view, they have known consequences for diseases’ onset and development, including cancer. The use of fatty acid-based food and nutraceuticals to support cancer therapy is a multidisciplinary subject, involving molecular and clinical research. Knowledge regarding polyunsaturated fatty acids essentiality/oxidizability and the role of lipogenesis-desaturase pathways for cell growth, as well as oxidative reactivity in cancer cells, are discussed, since they can drive the choice of fatty acids using their multiple roles to support antitumoral drug activity. The central role of membrane fatty acid composition is highlighted for the application of membrane lipid therapy. As fatty acids are also known as biomarkers of cancer onset and progression, the personalization of the fatty acid-based therapy is also possible, taking into account other important factors such as formulation, bioavailability and the distribution of the supplementation. A holistic approach emerges combining nutra- and pharma-strategies in an appropriate manner, to develop further knowledge and applications in cancer therapy.
