Mediterranean diet may cut breast-cancer relapse risk

A Mediterranean diet rich in vegetables, fish, and olive oil may reduce the risk of breast cancer returning.

Research on 300 women with early-stage breast cancer reinforces earlier work, which suggests diet may cut cancer risk.

The study involved 199 women eating their normal diet and 108 eating a Mediterranean diet. The findings were presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (Asco) conference, in Chicago.
