Fatty Acids and Breast Cancer Cell Proliferation

  • Chapter
Dietary Fat and Cancer

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 422))

Abstract

Experimental evidence using animal models and cultured cells has clearly linked dietary fat to breast cancer. More than 150 studies using animal models of carcinogen-induced, transplantable, “spontaneous” and metastatic breast cancer as well as in vitro investigations employing cultured breast cancer cells provide an impressive array of support for the conclusion that dietary fat influences breast cancer cell proliferation and tumorigenesis (1–11).
