Dietary Fat and Breast Cancer: Controversy and Biological Plausibility

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 364))

Abstract

The influence which dietary fat may exert on the development of breast cancer continues to provoke heated debate.1-5 The association between fat consumption and mammary carcinogenesis in experimental animals was first described by Tannenbaum over 50 years ago6 and has been confirmed repeatedly since then.7-9 In addition to influencing the promotional stage of carcinogenesis, dietary fat also affects the growth of transplantable rodent mammary carcinomas10-12 and of human breast cancer cells when injected into athymic nude mice.13-17
