Background: Epidemiological and experimental evidence suggests that breast cancer risk can be reduced by dietary measures. Study of the relationships between dietary habits and prognosis in patients with breast cancer is essential to the design of diet intervention trials. Purpose: Our purpose was to determine whether dietary habits are associated with disease-free survival in patients with breast cancer who have undergone treatment. Methods: We interviewed 240 women about their dietary histories.
