- Obesity increases breast cancer risk, especially in postmenopausal women, via mechanisms like excessive estrogen, insulin resistance, and chronic inflammation.
- Gut microbiota alterations in obesity worsen breast cancer risk by affecting estrogen metabolism, immune responses, and systemic inflammation.
- Medical nutrition therapy (Mediterranean diet, ketogenic diet, intermittent fasting) may reduce weight, improve metabolism, and modulate gut microbiome.
- Personalized nutrition, considering genetic, epigenetic, and microbiome profiles, shows promise in improving breast cancer outcomes.
- Long-term studies are needed to confirm dietary interventions' effects on breast cancer survival and recurrence.
- Integrating targeted nutrition into breast cancer treatment can enhance prognosis, therapy response, and quality of life.
