Abstract:
Breast cancer is a serious disease causing death for 13.7% of women. Hormones, persistently increased blood levels of estrogen are associated with an increased risk of breast cancer, as are increased levels of the androgens, androstenedione and testosterone. Patients who are currently undergoing treatment for breast cancer, or have been treated for breast cancer in the past, eating properly is particularly important. Fruit and vegetables, both contain high levels of nutrients with antioxidant properties, such as carotenoids and vitamins We have made a multicentric study, there were involved 46 postmenopausal, under 70 years of age women. Our investigations have shown, but there is no absolute certainty about it, that flaxseeds eaten in a quantity of 40 g every day, may have a metabolic impact, which could reduce estrogen excess. This impact may be considered as favorable in the prevention and slowing down the evolution of breast cancer with positive hormonal receptors.
