title: Nutrition and breast cancer.
abstract: Present evidence suggests that a high fat intake may be one of the factors in the aetiology of breast cancer. Patients with breast cancer may show an increased requirement for thiamin particularly when treated with 5-fluorouracil, and a number of metabolic disturbances in which ascorbic acid may play a central role.
