Breast cancer
Most common cancer in women in UK Affects approximately 50,000 women in
UK each year 85.1% of patients survive for five years or
more (diagnosed 2005-2009)

Relative survival
Survival “adjusted for” background mortality (excess mortality “due” to cancer)
Avoids need for cause of death Observed : expected survival ratio Compares “observed” survival in the cancer
population to “expected” survival in general population

Relative survival (cont’d)

Women’s Intervention Nutrition Study RCT of 2437 women, aged 43-79 Early stage breast cancer Intervention: dietary fat reduction Associated weight loss (2kg difference at 3 years) Lower recurrence in intervention group (9.8% vs

But is it all confounding?
Women’s Healthy Eating and Living RCT of 3088 women, aged 18-70 Early stage breast cancer Intervention: High F&V, fibre and low fat No change in body weight or energy intake No difference in breast cancer events (HR 0.96, CI:
0.80 to 1.14) or mortality (HR 0.91; CI: 0.72 to 1.15) Interaction with PA: reduced mortality in women with
high F&V and high PA, irrespective of obesity (HR 0.56; CI: 0.31 to 0.98)
