Article Synopsis
- * Research pooled data from over 6,000 ILC and LCIS cases and identified a specific SNP (rs11977670 at 7q34) that significantly predisposes to ILC.
- * The study highlights 56 polymorphisms associated with ILC and 15 with LCIS, showing that while many ER+ cancer loci relate to ILC, there are differences in susceptibility between ILC and ductal cancers (IDC).

Healthcare providers need to be aware of what changes patients are likely to make in order to derive more pertinent recommendations; however, few studies have reported pre- and post-diagnostic lifestyle behaviours. Semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaires (FFQs) completed approximately 1 year after diagnosis were used to evaluate dietary intake and supplement use before and after diagnosis in a cohort of 1,560 breast cancer patients participating in the UK, prospective DietCompLyf study.
