Title
Assess dietary and behavioral factors associated with breast cancer risk and survival
Summary
Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer reported in women worldwide. Different factors including age, family history, hormonal therapy after menopause, high-fat diet, smoking, and alcohol consumption appear to be associated with a higher incidence of breast cancer. Therefore, further identifying the relevant risk factors (especially diet and behavior factors) is very important for reducing the incidence rate and improving prognosis of breast cancer.
Aims
To predict the risk of breast cancer using dietary and behavioral related data. And find relevant risk factors.
To systematically evaluate the relationship between survival and relevant risk factors of breast cancer patients.
