- Abstract
The article discusses a study which investigated whether soy food intake following breast cancer diagnosis is related to total mortality and cancer recurrence. The study included 5,042 women breast cancer survivors, who were diagnosed between March 2002 and April 2006 in China. It examined the lifestyle of each patient after cancer diagnosis, disease progression and treatment received. After 3.9 years, 444 cancer patients who underwent surgical treatment died while 534 experienced recurrence. Study authors concluded that soy food intake is associated with decreased risk of breast cancer mortality and recurrence in patients with estrogen receptor-positive or -negative breast cancer.
