Breast cancer is a major public health problem. One intriguing hypothesis that has not gained much attention in the literature, despite its biological plausibility, is that cancer, including breast cancer, has a fetal origin. Although the fetal hypothesis has been investigated mainly in the context of other non-communicable diseases including cardiovascular disease, obesity and type II di…
Breast cancer is a multifactorial disease, in which risk factors such as eating habits, exercise, sex, age and genetic factors are associated with the tumor. It is a hormone-dependent disease, in which estrogen stands out, whose direct actions increase the risk for the development of breast cancer. Although estrogen is the main hormone studied in this area, currently interest has also bee…
Breast cancer represents an important public health problem. In particular, obesity was identified as a major risk factor for cancer. An intriguing hypothesis that has received little attention in the literature considers that father malnutrition might influence the risk of their daughters developing breast cancer. In a PhD project to which this research project is linked, male mice were …
Maternal and more recently paternal nutritional patterns may influence offspring susceptibility to chronic diseases, including breast cancer. Embryonic/fetal period is characterized by rapid cell division and differentiation and inadequate nutritional conditions in early life may program altered phenotypes in adult life. On the other hand, early development may comprise a relevant window …
Breast cancer is an important public health problem, representing the main cause of women death worldwide. Dietetic factors, such as omega-3 fatty-acids, flavonoids, vitamins A and E, and micronutrients have been associated with the reduction of breast cancer risk. Zinc is a micronutrient of remarkable importance for health, essential for several cellular mechanisms, which may influence t…

Breast cancer is a significant public health problem, representing a major cause of death in women both in the USA and in Brazil. Dietary factors have been identified as important modulators of the risk of developing cancer. Based on epidemiological studies and animal models, the essential micronutrient selenium has been highlighted as a promising dietary factor associated to breast cance…
As described for other non-communicable chronic diseases, it is also hypothesized that breast cancer would have a fetal origin. In 1990, Trichopoulos suggested that some breast cancer were programmed in the intrauterine environment due to exposure to high levels of estrogen. An inadequate food intake by women during pregnancy may be particularly important to modify the fetal environment a…
