Associations between fiber intake and breast cancer risk have been evaluated in prospective studies, but overall, the evidence is inconsistent. The authors performed a systematic review and meta‐analysis of prospective studies to investigate the relation between intake of total and types of fiber with breast cancer incidence.

Fruit and vegetable consumption and incident breast cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis of prospective studies.

It is suggested that high total fruit and vegetable consumption are associated with reduced risk of overall, postmenopausal, ER+/PR+ and ER-/PR- breast cancer.

Levels of evidence for the association between different food groups/items consumption and the risk of various cancer sites: an umbrella review

There was convincing evidence for the association between fibre intake and decreased risk of colon and breast cancer and more qualified studies are needed to find reliable findings on the link between various food groups/items consumption and the risk of different cancer sites.

Associations between dietary fiber intake and mortality from all causes, cardiovascular disease and cancer: a prospective study

In this large nationally representative sample of US adult population, intakes of total fiber, soluble fiber, and insoluble fiber were associated with lower risks of all-cause, cardiovascular and cancer mortality.

A matched case–control study of bean intake and breast cancer risk in urbanized Nigerian women

Dietary intake of beans_alone may play a significant role in reducing the incidence of breast cancer, particularly of the more aggressive molecular subtype, triple-negative, in African women living in SSA.

Comprehensive profiles and diagnostic value of menopausal-specific gut microbiota in premenopausal breast cancer

The results suggest that gut microbe profiling might offer a novel and noninvasive method for diagnosing and monitoring breast cancer and lead to new strategies for prevention and treatment, as evidence emerges of a link between gut microbes and cancer.

Dietary fiber intake and risk of breast cancer defined by estrogen and progesterone receptor status: the Japan Public Health Center-based Prospective Study

The findings suggest that extreme high fiber intake may be associated with decreased risk of breast cancer but the level of dietary fiber intake among Japanese population might not be sufficient to examine the association between dietary Fiber intake and breast cancer risk.

Dietary fibre intake and risk of breast cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis of epidemiological studies

Dose-response analysis showed that every 10 g/d increment in dietary fibre intake was associated with a 4% reduction in breast cancer risk, and little evidence of publication bias was found, suggesting dietary fibre consumption is significantly associated withA reduced risk of breast cancer, particularly in postmenopausal women.

Dietary fiber intake and risk of postmenopausal breast cancer defined by estrogen and progesterone receptor status—A prospective cohort study among Swedish women

Dietary fiber intake from fruit and cereal may play a role in reducing breast cancer risk and among ever‐users of postmenopausal hormone (PMH), total fiber intake and especially cereal fiber were statistically significantly associated with ∼50% reduced risk for overall and ER+PR+ tumors when comparing the highest to the lowest quartile, but no association was observed among PMH never users.

A modest positive association of total fat intake with risk of breast cancer was seen, consistent with studies suggesting that fat intake is a determinant of Breast cancer, particularly after accounting for inaccuracies in dietary assessment.
