Title
The association of ultra-processed foods (UPF) and breast cancer risk
Summary
Available suggestive evidence shows a consistent significant association between intake of UPF and the risk of overall and several cancers, including colorectal-, breast- and pancreatic cancer, but it is still unclear on breast cancer risk that is most common female cancer. The relationship between meat consumption and breast cancer has been the focus of several epidemiological investigations, yet there has been no clear scientific consensus as to whether red or processed meat intake increases the risk of breast cancer. Therefore, we would like to conduct a prospective cohort study to address this issue based on PLCO trial.
Aims
This study is aimed to assess the association between cancer risk and UPF consumption
