Lifestyles and Breast Cancer
Sponsor: University of Navarra
Summary
Background: In Spain, 1 out of every 11 women will have a breast cancer before the age of 85 years and breast cancer is the leading cause of potential years of life lost. The randomized intervention in PREDIMED trail, using Mediterranean diet with free provision of extra virgin olive oil (MedDiet+EVOO) dramatically and significantly reduced the occurrence of cases of postmenopausal breast cancer. Objectives: Assess the efficacy of a nutritional intervention with MedDiet+EVOO for the prevention of relapses among women with early breast cancer. Methods: Randomized, multicenter trial (LifeBreast) among 766 women diagnosed with early breast cancer. Participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to i) MedDiet+EVOO or ii) low-fat diet. Changes in circulating tumor cells, inflammatory biomarkers, oxidative stress and quality of life will be evaluated. The intervention will be delivered by face-to-face interviews with study dietitian, phone calls, and online tools. Participants in the MedDiet+EVOO group will receive 0.5l/week of EVOO and participants in the low-fat group will receive allotments of different foods, both at no cost. Generalized estimating equations will be used to estimate between-group differences in the following outcomes: circulating tumor cells, inflammatory biomarkers, oxidative stress, and quality of life will be evaluated.

Interventions
Mediterranean diet supplemented with extra-virgin olive oil
Dietary advice on how to follow a Mediterranean diet will be received by the intervention group. The intervention will be delivered mainly by phone (1 call/month), internet and written materials. Also, there will be yearly face-to-face individual interviews and biannual group sessions. A total of 0.5l/week of EVOO for free will be received by participants of this group. In addition, advice on physical activity will be provided.
Low-fat diet
Dietary advice on how to follow a low-fat diet will be received by the intervention group. The intervention will be delivered mainly by phone (1 call/month), internet and written materials. Also, there will be yearly face-to-face individual interviews and biannual group sessions. Allotments of commercial foods - equivalent to the extra-virgin olive oil allotment - will be received by participants of this group for free. In addition, advice on physical activity will be provided.
