      The time after a breast cancer diagnosis is a potential period for making positive dietary changes, but previous results are conflicting. The main aim of the present study was to study breast cancer patients’ dietary changes during the 12 months post-surgery and from 12 months pre-surgery to 12 months post-surgery with repeated administration of a 7-d pre-coded food diary and an FFQ, respectively. ...

      Growing evidence indicates that adiposity is associated with breast cancer risk and negatively affects breast cancer recurrence and survival, a paracrine role of mammary adipose tissue being very likely in this process. In contrast to other adipose depots, occurrence of a sub-inflammatory state of mammary adipose tissue defined by dying adipocytes surrounded by macrophages forming crown-like structures ...

      <b>Background:</b> High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol, has been associated with breast cancer development, but the association is under debate, and whether lipoprotein subfractions is associated with breast tumor characteristics remains unclear.<br> <b>Methods:</b> Among 56 women with newly diagnosed invasive breast cancer stage I/II, aged 35–75 years, pre-surgery overnight fasting serum ...

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-11-07)
      <p><i>Background</i>: Breast cancer treatment has metabolic side effects, potentially affecting risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and recurrence. We aimed to compare alterations in serum metabolites and lipoproteins during treatment between recipients and non-recipients of chemotherapy, and describe metabolite profiles associated with treatment-related weight gain.</p> <p><i>Methods</i>: This ...
    • Normal and unusual days for dietary intake during the 12 months after a breast cancer diagnosis in women

      Purpose There are several reasons to report days as being unusual with regard to dietary intake, including special occasions and celebrations. For breast cancer patients during the 12 month post-surgery period, unusual days may also include days that are afected by being a cancer patient. The aim of this study was to study dietary intake on “normal” and “unusual” days, and to study what is reported ...
