Association of vitamin C intake with breast cancer risk and mortality: a meta-analysis of observational studies
TLDR
It is suggested that higher vitamin C intake is significantly associated with reduced breast cancer incidence and mortality, however, the intake of vitamin C supplements has no significant effect on breast cancer prevention.
Post-Diagnosis use of Antioxidant Vitamin Supplements and Breast Cancer Prognosis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Is There an Association between β-Carotene and Breast Cancer? A Systematic Review on Breast Cancer Risk
TLDR
The evidence from the included studies confirms that there is an association between β-carotenoids and breast cancer risk; the dietary intake of β- carotenoid may be beneficial in reducing the risk of developing breast cancer.
Dietary Supplement Use after Cancer Diagnosis in Relation to Total Mortality, Cancer Mortality and Recurrence: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
TLDR
Findings are mostly based on OS, and more RCTs are needed to justify any recommendation for use, but calcium supplementation was associated with lower total mortality and cancer mortality and recurrence among cancer survivors.
Chemoprevention of Breast Cancer With Vitamins and Micronutrients: A Concise Review
TLDR
There is sufficient evidence from in vitro, animal and epidemiological human studies that certain vitamins, such as vitamin D3, folate, vitamin B6, and beta carotene, display an antitumoral activity against breast cancer and have the potential to offer a natural strategy for breast cancer chemoprevention and reduce the risk of breast cancer recurrence.
Association of Dietary Total Antioxidant Capacity with Cancer Recurrence and Mortality among Breast Cancer Survivors: A Prospective Cohort Study.
TLDR
This study was the first to indicate that total DTAC and DTAC of vegetables and legumes could be beneficial in decreasing breast cancer recurrence, and inversely associated withcancer recurrence after adjusting for confounding factors.
The effects of exercise training on inflammatory biomarkers in patients with breast cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Prediagnostic dietary intakes of vitamin A and β-carotene are associated with hepatocellular-carcinoma survival.
TLDR
Higher prediagnostic dietary intakes of vitamin A and β-carotene were associated with improved overall and HCC-specific survival, and no significant association of dietary retinol intakes with survival outcomes was observed.
An Updated Comprehensive Review on Vitamin A and Carotenoids in Breast Cancer: Mechanisms, Genetics, Assessment, Current Evidence, and Future Clinical Implications
TLDR
In this narrative review, the epidemiological evidence for the relationship of vitamin A and carotenoids with breast cancer risk, their effects on cancer mechanism, and the recent updates in clinical practice are demonstrated.
Adherence to the Mediterranean Diet and Mortality after Breast Cancer
TLDR
Findings indicate that women who ate according to the Mediterranean dietary pattern prior to their diagnosis may have greater chance of a favorable prognosis after breast cancer diagnosis compared to those who did not.

Retinol, vitamins A, C, and E and breast cancer risk: a meta-analysis and meta-regression
TLDR
The results indicate that both the total intake of vitamin A and retinol could reduce breast cancer risk, and associations between other vitamins and breast cancer seem to be limited.
Association between vitamin A, retinol intake and blood retinol level and gastric cancer risk: A meta-analysis.
Association of Dietary Vitamin A and β-Carotene Intake with the Risk of Lung Cancer: A Meta-Analysis of 19 Publications
TLDR
Higher category of dietary β-carotene and vitamin A intakes could reduce the risk of lung cancer, especially among Asian populations and in the cohort studies.
Physical activity and survival after breast cancer diagnosis: meta-analysis of published studies
TLDR
Evidence for an inverse relationship between PA and mortality in patients with breast cancer is provided and supports the notion that appropriate PA should be embraced by breast cancer survivors.
The effect of overweight and nutrition on prognosis in breast cancer.
TLDR
A high body-mass index at the time of diagnosis of breast cancer is associated with higher overall mortality, as is weight gain at later times, and a low-fat diet rich in fruit, vegetables, and fiber seems to be weakly associated with a better prognosis.
Diet and risk for breast cancer recurrence and survival
TLDR
Higher levels of energy, fat intakes, and selected patient characteristics appear to increase risk of recurrence and/or shortened survival following the diagnosis of breast cancer.
Dietary Fat, Fiber, Vegetable, and Micronutrients Are Associated With Overall Survival in Postmenopausal Women Diagnosed With Breast Cancer
TLDR
It is suggested that in postmenopausal women diagnosed with breast cancer, reduced dietary fat and increased fiber, vegetable, fruit, and other nutrient intakes associated with a plant-based, high-fiber diet improves overall survival after breast cancer diagnosis.
Chemoprevention of Breast Cancer With Vitamins and Micronutrients: A Concise Review
TLDR
There is sufficient evidence from in vitro, animal and epidemiological human studies that certain vitamins, such as vitamin D3, folate, vitamin B6, and beta carotene, display an antitumoral activity against breast cancer and have the potential to offer a natural strategy for breast cancer chemoprevention and reduce the risk of breast cancer recurrence.
Tumor characteristics and survival of breast cancer patients in relation to premorbid diet and body size
TLDR
It appears that while there are significant associations between some of the diet and body size variables and tumor characteristics, the effect of most nutritional factors on prognosis in breast cancer may not be mediated via their effect on tumor characteristics.
Fruit, vegetables, and colorectal cancer risk: the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition.
TLDR
It is suggested that a high consumption of fruit and vegetables is associated with a reduced risk of CRC, especially of colon cancer, and this effect may depend on smoking status.
