Cruciferous Vegetable Consumption Linked to Improved Breast Cancer Survival Rates; Long-Term Use of Estrogen Therapy Linked to Higher Risk for Breast Cancer
The first study reports that increased intake of cruciferous vegetables (greens, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli) during the first 36 months after breast cancer diagnosis was associated with a reduced risk for total mortality, breast cancer-specific mortality and recurrence in a dose-response pattern. In the second report, long-term use of estrogen hormone therapy (without progesterone) may increase breast cancer risk.
