Multivitamins May Prevent Breast Cancer Recurrence
Women with breast cancer who take multivitamins with minerals appear to face lower odds of having theircancer come back or dying.
"Multivitamins appears to especially benefit women undergoing radiation treatment," according to Drs.
The study doesn't prove cause and effect. The association could be explained by other factors, such as the fact that women who eat right and exercise regularly are more likely to take vitamins.
Still, the findings set the stage for a trial called Pathways, which will enroll about 4,500 women with breast cancer and follow them over time to see how lifestyle factors, including diet and supplement use, influence breast cancer recurrence and death.
