The fourth annual American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR)
conference on diet, nutrition and cancer was held at the L'Enfant
Plaza Hotel in Washington, D. C. , September 2~3, 1993. In keeping
with present concerns and in line with current trends, the theme
was "Diet and Breast Cancer. " This proceedings volume is comprised
of chapters from the platform presentations of the two day
conference and abstracts from the poster session held at the end of
the first day. Experimentally, there is sufficient evidence to
support a relationship between dietary fat and the risk of breast
cancer. A meta-analysis was provided by data from 114 experiments
with over 10,000 animals, divided into groups fed ad libitum on
diets with different levels or sources of fat, or different levels
of energy restriction. This exercise suggested that linoleic acid
was a major determinant of mammary tumor development but that other
fatty acids also enhanced mammary tumor development in animals.
However, as mentioned by several speakers, results from
epidemiological studies often are conflicting, thus leading to
confusion among both health professionals and the public. Surveys
of specific populations which have migrated from countries with low
breast cancer rates to those with higher rates are often some of
the most compelling studies with respect to a high fat diet-breast
cancer association. Nonetheless, various cohort and prospective
studies, some quite large, did not appear to show a relationship
between consumption of fat (any type) and breast cancer.
