Evaluating how diet affects breast cancer risk

Longitudinal Study Evaluating the Impact of Dietary Inflammatory Potential on Breast Cancer Risk in a Cohort of Women Followed in the Breast Cancer Prevention Clinic at the Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center- James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute

Observational Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center · NCT05178498

This study is trying to see if the way women eat affects their risk of getting breast cancer, especially for those who are already at high risk.

What this trial studies

This observational study investigates the link between dietary inflammatory potential and the risk of breast cancer in women identified as high risk at the Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center. Participants will complete a food frequency questionnaire to assess their dietary inflammatory potential, which will be monitored over time to observe any changes and their relationship to breast cancer incidence. The study also aims to correlate dietary patterns with obesity measures and mammographic breast density. By identifying modifiable dietary risk factors, the research seeks to enhance prevention strategies and early intervention for breast cancer.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are women aged 18 and older who are established in a high-risk breast cancer clinic due to family history, genetic predisposition, or previous atypical breast conditions.

Not a fit: Patients with a known history of ductal carcinoma in situ or invasive breast cancer will not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved dietary recommendations that may reduce breast cancer risk in high-risk women.

How similar studies have performed: While dietary impacts on cancer risk have been explored, this specific approach focusing on dietary inflammatory potential in high-risk breast cancer patients is relatively novel.
