Article Abstract

We aimed to examine the association between dietary isoflavone intake and the risk of breast cancer recurrence and summarize evidence on the role of dietary isoflavone intake in breast cancer prognosis. This prospective study included 592 breast cancer survivors who completed a dietary assessment. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated using Cox proportional hazards models. Of the studies published until May 31, 2023, that were searched in PUBMED and EMBASE databases, 14 studies were selected. Adjusted HRs were combined using fixed- or random-effects models. During the median follow-up of 4.3 years, 47 recurrences were identified. The HR (95% CI) for recurrence comparing the highest versus the lowest tertile of isoflavones intake was 1.29 (0.60-2.78). In a meta-analysis of previously published data and ours, dietary isoflavone intake was associated with a better breast cancer prognosis. The combined HRs (95% CIs) comparing the extreme categories were 0.81 (0.67-0.98) for recurrence and 0.85 (0.76-0.96) for all-cause mortality. A nonlinear inverse association was observed between isoflavone intake and the risk of recurrence and all-cause mortality. Our study suggests that dietary isoflavone intake is associated with a favorable prognosis in breast cancer survivors and warrants further investigation.

Soybean meal (SBM) contains many bioactive compounds, such as isoflavones, which possess anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties that may provide nutritional intervention to pigs infected with porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSv). The disease results in abortions, stillborn piglets, and overall impairs reproductive success in sows. Today, there are no data available on feeding SBM to sows infected with PRRSv to mitigate the negative impacts of PRRSv on sow and litter performance.

Phenotypic differences between equol-producing and non-equol-producing intestinal microbiota.

Equol is an isoflavone produced by intestinal microbiota from daidzein. It has been assumed that individuals with equol-producing microbiota are those who mainly benefit from isoflavone consumption. However, no obvious genotypic differences can be found between the microbiota of equol-producing individuals and non-equol-producing individuals.

Soy and Isoflavones: Revisiting Their Potential Links to Breast Cancer Risk.

Soy has a long history of consumption in Asia and was traditionally prepared by rinsing, cooking, and simmering, methods which remove estrogenic isoflavones (Isofls). Population studies have indicated that soy and/or Isofls may be associated with a decreased risk of breast cancer (BC), while in vitro and experimental data indicate dose-related proliferative effects of Isofls on breast cells. This review attempts to decipher the role of soy and Isofls in the risk of BC in women, since previous studies have suggested a lack of association with BC.

Adolescence represents a key opportunity for breast cancer prevention, as the rapid proliferation of breast tissue during puberty creates a critical window of vulnerability for the development of cancerous cells. With increasing research on adolescent dietary factors and breast cancer risk, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to summarize the associations between adolescent diet and risk of breast cancer in adulthood, as well as benign breast disease (BBD) and high mammographic breast density, which are markers for breast cancer. We searched Web of Science, Ovid MEDLINE, Cochrane CENTRAL and Embase for epidemiological studies assessing dietary intakes in adolescent girls (aged 10-18 years), published through 16 October 2024, with no language or time restrictions.

Background And Aims: Diet may influence the disease course in inflammatory bowel disease, but its role in postoperative outcomes for Crohn's disease (CD) remains unclear. This study aimed to assess the association of macro- and micronutrient intake with endoscopic postoperative recurrence (ePOR) in a prospective multicenter cohort.

Methods: Patients with CD following ileocolic resection were prospectively recruited from six North American centers.
