Breast cancer and the role of exercise in women.
This review states that exercise reduces the risk of breast cancer.
Exercise in prevention and management of cancer.
OPINION STATEMENT: Regular and vigorous physical exercise has been scientifically established as providing strong preventative medicine against cancer with the potential to reduce incidence by 40%. The effect is strongest for breast and colorectal cancer; however, evidence is accumulating for the protective influence on prostate cancer, although predominantly for more advanced disease and in older men…
Green tea: nature’s defense against malignancies.
The review is intended to highlight the chemistry of green tea, its antioxidant potential, its immunopotentiating properties and mode of action against various cancer cell lines that showed its potential as a chemopreventive agent against colon, skin, lung, prostate, and breast cancer.
“Epidemiological studies have suggested that obesity is associated with increased risk of several cancer types including colon, esophagus, breast (in postmenopausal women), endometrium, kidney, liver, gallbladder and pancreas.”
Green tea (Camellia sinensis) for the prevention of cancer
Green tea contains catechins which are powerful antioxidants that may prevent cancer. This Cochrane review looked at 51 studies that included:
Drinking 3 to 5 cups of green tea per day is safe and provides 250 mg of catechins per day.
The author concludes that there is insufficient evidence for green tea consumption preventing cancer.
Cochrane Database Syst Rev. 2009 Jul 8;(3):CD005004.
Aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) could prevent colorectal cancer and may probably prevent other cancers. Research is focusing on breast, prostate, lung, stomach, and oesophageal cancer.
Energy intake, physical activity, energy balance, and cancer: epidemiologic evidence.

Vitamin D for cancer prevention: global perspective
Can a daily dose of 2000 IU of vitamin D(3) reduce case-fatality rates of breast, colorectal, and prostate cancer by 50%?
Soy: a complete source of protein.
Soybeans contain all of the essential amino acids necessary for human nutrition…
Populations with diets high in soy protein and low in animal protein have lower risks of prostate and breast cancers than other populations.
Dietary factors and cancer chemoprevention: an overview of obesity-related malignancies.
“Currently, obesity-related malignancies, e.g., cancers of the breast, prostate and colon are the leading cancers in the industrialized societies.”
This review looks at cancer prevention studies in selected cancers associated with obesity:
And on foods that have anti-obesity and anti-cancer effects:
The tomatines are glycoalkaloids in green tomatoes; alpha-Tomatine effectively inhibited all of the above cancer cell lines.
Anticancer actions of omega-3 fatty acids–current state and future perspectives.
Omega-3 fatty acids have anti-tumor effects on human cancer cell lines from the colon, the pancreas, the prostate and the breast.
