Short Communication Postdiagnosis Cruciferous Vegetable Consumption and Breast Cancer Outcomes: A Report from the After Breast Cancer Pooling Project

چکیده
Cruciferous vegetables are a major source of glucosinolate-derived bioactive compounds such as isothiocyanates, which have been shown in animal and in vitro studies to inhibit cancer growth and progression. Few studies have investigated cruciferous vegetable intake after diagnosis and breast cancer outcomes. Using data from the After Breast Cancer Pooling Project, which includes prospective data from U.S. and Chinese breast cancer survivors,we evaluated the association of cruciferous vegetableswith breast cancer outcomes.Analyses included 11,390 women diagnosed with stage I–III invasive breast cancer (1990–2006) from four cohorts. Cruciferous vegetable intake (g/day) was assessed using food frequency questionnaires (mean of 22 months postdiagnosis). Study heterogeneity was evaluated by the Q statistic; hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were estimated using delayed-entry Cox regression models stratified by study. After a median follow-up of 9.0 years, 1,725 deaths and 1,421 recurrences were documented. In pooled analyses using studyspecific quartiles, cruciferous vegetable intake was not associated with breast cancer outcomes, adjusting for knownclinical prognostic factors and selected lifestyle factors.HRs (95%CIs) by increasingquartiles (reference 1⁄4 lowest quartile) were 1.08 (0.93–1.25), 1.01 (0.87–1.18), and 1.10 (0.95–1.28) for recurrence (Ptrend 1⁄4 0.34) and 1.01 (0.88–1.15), 0.97 (0.84–1.11), and 0.99 (0.86–1.13) for total mortality (Ptrend 1⁄4 0.84). No associations were observed for subgroupsdefinedbyestrogen receptor status, stage, or tamoxifen therapy.Cruciferous vegetable intake at approximately two years after diagnosis was not associated with recurrence or mortality. Our results do not support an association between postdiagnosis cruciferous vegetable intake and breast cancer outcomes. Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev; 22(8); 1451–6. 2013 AACR.

متن کاملPostdiagnosis alcohol consumption and breast cancer prognosis in the after breast cancer pooling project.
BACKGROUND Alcohol consumption is an established risk factor for incident breast cancer. However, its role in breast cancer prognosis remains unclear. METHODS We conducted an investigation of postdiagnosis alcohol consumption with recurrence and mortality among 9,329 breast cancer patients in the After Breast Cancer Pooling Project. Women were diagnosed from 1990 to 2006 with AJCC Stage I-III...
متن کاملTrends in Cruciferous Vegetable Consumption and Associations with Breast Cancer Risk: A Case-Control Study
Background: The chemopreventive activities of cruciferous vegetables were recognized in the early 1990s, followed by a growth of evidence in various cancer models, including breast cancer. To our knowledge, no studies have examined whether consumption of cruciferous vegetables has changed accordingly, and what impact, if any, on breast cancer risk may have

BACKGROUND Soy isoflavones have antiestrogenic and anticancer properties but also possess estrogen-like properties, which has raised concern about soy food consumption among breast cancer survivors. OBJECTIVE We prospectively evaluated the association between postdiagnosis soy food consumption and breast cancer outcomes among US and Chinese women by using data from the After Breast Cancer Poo...
متن کاملBreast cancer risk in premenopausal women is inversely associated with consumption of broccoli, a source of isothiocyanates, but is not modified by GST genotype.
The role of vegetable consumption in relation to breast cancer risk is controversial. Anticarcinogenic compounds may be present only in specific vegetables, thereby attenuating findings for total vegetable intake. Cruciferous vegetables contain precursors of isothiocyanates (ITCs), which may be chemopreventive through potent inhibition of phase I, and induction of phase II enzymes, such as glut...
