Case-control study of breast cancer in south east England: nutritional factors

摘要

Conclusions-In line with recent cohort studies, this study has shown no evidence to support the hypothesis that dietary fat is an important contributor to breast can- cer rates. Biases should have been reduced by studying subjects from the screening programme who were at an early stage of disease. Objective-To explore dietary risk fac- tors, in particular fat intake, for breast cancer, using an approach to reduce recall bias of subjects and so provide a more reliable estimate of dietary intake than previous similar studies.
