Abstract:

Background: Breast cancer has become a major public health issue as it accounts for 40% death of all female cancers. Besides genetics or family history of cancers, age, obesity and other non- modifiable risk factors, lifestyle also plays a significant role in increasing or reducing risk of cancer. Study proved that food and food choices can increase breast cancer risk by 20%. Material & Methods: Hospital based cross-sectional study was conducted on 50 breast cancer patients and 50 healthy volunteers. Blood samples were collected and analyzed to gather biochemical data. Serum calcium and serum vitamin D, C-reactive proteins and parathyroid hormone and serum albumin were analyzed. Aim: The study was designed to check the effect of supplementation on serum calcium and vitamin D levels and antiinflammatory biomarker on prognosis of the disease. Results: The cancer patients had poor serum calcium and vitamin D status at diagnosis stage as compared to disease free volunteers. After intervention of vitamin D and calcium supplemented cookies, serum calcium and serum vitamin D levels were observed to be increased from 8.413±0.0825B to 8.968±0.113A and 33.450±0.847B to 40.990±1.370A respectively. C-reactive proteins levels were observed to be deduced from 12.37±0.656ABC to 10.78±0.330C and Parathyroid hormone from 2.913±0.0683A to 2.785±0.0752A. Conclusion: The present research suggests that dietary intake of vitamin D and calcium does play an important role in improving breast cancer prognosis and improve quality of life.
