Affret A, et al. - Researchers assessed the potential influence of a cancer diagnosis (comparing women with cancer to women with no cancer) on changes in fruit and vegetable (FV) consumption among 53,981 women from the prospective E3N-EPIC cohort study with available dietary data in 1993 and 2005, among whom 4,619 had a cancer diagnosis in between (including n=2,699 breast cancers). They used multivariable linear regression models considering cancer site, stage at diagnosis and socioeconomic factors, to assess the impact on FV consumption. In women who had cancer vs those with no cancer, there was a statistically significant increase in FV consumption, and this association appeared to be driven by breast cancer exclusively. Women with advanced breast cancer showed greater proportion of women who had consumed less than 7.5 portions a day in 1993 and more in 2005, when taking into account adherence to guidelines.
