Dietary strategies during chemotherapy in breast cancer

Conventional wisdom is that the proliferation of breast cancer by a certain order of time and distance, and recent biological studies show that breast cancer cell division from a single 1cm in diameter the size of mass reproduction, growth, more than 3 years at least, to the systemic hematogenous provide enough time, so systemic treatment is more and more attention. Before and after surgery systemic chemotherapy to kill subclinical metastases is to improve the treatment effect, increase the survival rate of more mature treatment. In particular, cases of axillary lymph node metastases, the efficacy of adjuvant chemotherapy after surgery is more apparent. Although the exact effect of chemotherapy has been fully confirmed, but because of the many side effects of chemotherapy, such as gastrointestinal reactions (nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, abdominal pain, diarrhea), myelosuppression (neutropenia, decreased red blood cells, thrombocytopenia) , gastrointestinal mucosal ulceration, hair loss, abnormal liver and kidney function, in part because patients can not tolerate the interruption of treatment.
