Studies have shown that a diet that is rich in fats can increase the risk of breast cancer recurrence. This is more the case for postmenopausal women who have had successful treatment for early stage breast cancers at a younger age. The National Cancer Institute, recommends that women who have had successful treatment of breast cancer in their early years do stick to their management regimen which can effect changes to diet, environment and other contributory factors that can have bearing in preventing recurrence of the disease. Dietary adjustments have decreased the risks of getting the disease to recur and such information should be taken seriously if one wishes to live out the remainder of their life void of the said disease.
