Avoiding weight gain important after breast cancer

Last Updated: 2007-12-11 11:00:51 -0400 (Reuters Health)

By Megan Rauscher

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Women who put on weight after being diagnosed with breast cancer substantially increase their risk of dying, research suggests.

"Our results generally support the recognized health benefits and potentially a mortality reduction associated with avoiding weight gain after breast cancer diagnosis," Dr. Hazel B. Nichols told the Sixth International Conference on Frontiers in Cancer Prevention, sponsored by the American Association for Cancer Research.

The results "add to a growing body of evidence that post-diagnosis lifestyle factors - the things that you incorporate after a breast cancer diagnosis, such as diet and exercise -- do have potential to improve survival," added Nichols, from the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health, Baltimore.

The study involved 4,021 women diagnosed with breast cancer between 1988 and 2001. In 1998-2001, all surviving women provided details about their change in weight, physical activity, diet and lifestyle.

After an average of about 6 years of follow up, 121 women died of breast cancer and 428 died of other causes.

"What we found -- not surprisingly -- was that as BMI (body mass index) and weight gain increased, the risk of death from breast cancer and other causes also went up," Nichols told the conference. "For every 5 kilograms (11 pounds) of weight gain, the risk of death went up by 14 percent."

Women who reported gaining more than 10 kilograms (22 pounds) since their breast cancer diagnosis had approximately an 80-percent increase in their risk of death; women who had a BMI in the obese range after diagnosis had more than twice the risk of breast cancer mortality compared to women with a normal BMI.

"These findings suggest that efforts towards preventing post-diagnosis weight gain may positively affect breast cancer survival," Nichols and colleagues conclude in a meeting abstract.
