Imagine a group of scientists sifting through breast cancer prevention research and recording the findings of those studies meeting rigorous standards and you have the AICR/WCRF's Continuous Update Project (CUP), reporting regularly since 2007. The most recent report is at http://preventcancer.aicr.org/site/News2?page=NewsArticle&id=21773&news_iv_ctrl=2302.
These scientists at Imperial College London carry out this systematic review. They have reviewed and added to the CUP, for breast cancer, 334 new studies for a total of 651 relevant studies overall.
The updated findings FURTHER conclude that a woman may reduce her risk for breast cancer by being physically active, being lean, not having extra abdominal fat (the kind put on after 50), limiting alcohol and nursing her children.
Together we can prevent 75,000 breast cancer cases each year.
