The microbiota is now recognized as one of the major players in human health and disease, in-cluding cancer. As regards breast cancer (BC), a clear link between oncogenesis still to be confirmed. Yet, part bacterial gene mass inside gut, constituting so called “estrobolome”, influences sexual hormonal balance and, since increased exposure estrogens associated with an risk, it may impact on onset, progression, treatment dependent cancers, which account for more than 70% all BCs.

Background: Breast cancer (BC) survivors have physical and psychological needs that require convincing responses by health care providers. The quality of life issue clinical unmet are among the main reasons pushing a number patients toward “natural” therapies often misleading alternative to mainstream care. Integrative Oncology (IO) tries respond many those needs, combining lifestyle counseling, body-mind activities, complementary evidence-informed with anticancer standard treatments....
Overall perioperative change of FC and LBM (Fat Free Mass Index, FFMI), in patients treated not with NAT
Background: Physical activity (PA) can play a role in lowering the risk of breast cancer (BC), but also reducing perioperative complications and treatments related side effects, improving quality life decreasing mortality BC survivors. PA nutritional screening are not offered to patients after diagnosis as standard care, even high units. Methods: From February 2019 March 2020, we performed preoperative physical 504 consecutive waiting for surgery. The included an IPAQ questionnaire evaluate...
Background: Body mass index (BMI) has been associated with several solid cancers, including postmenopausal breast cancer (BC), but in the oncological setting, this parameter seems to have some limitations, i.e., poor understanding of obesity paradox and way stratify patients considering their BMI. composition is an additional useful tool better assess metabolic risks it less used oncology practice. Lipidomic research recently highlighted new aspects metabolism, correlated fatty acid pool...
<title>Abstract</title> <bold>Purpose: </bold>Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) has a well estabilished role in locally advanced or chemoresponsive breast cancers (BC). Chemotherapic regimens are effective when patients receive the optimal doses. Toxicities common overweight/obese but may occur also normal weight counterparts. This lead to delays, reductions discontinuation of treatment, with impact on outcomes. Current dosing is based body and predicted Body Surface Area (BSA). These...

Sound evidence recognizes the microbiota as one of major players in human health and disease, including cancer. Every being is an holobiont, a shared microbial ecosystem, which composition individually set by behaviours environmental factors during first years life. Thereafter it modulated diet, physical activity, emotions drugs (in particularly antibiotics chemotherapeutics). As consequence, shift medicine needed toward more comprehensive practice that takes into account every individual's...
Abstract Background Physical activity (PA) can play a role in lowering the risk of breast cancer (BC), but also reducing treatments related side effects, improving quality life and decreasing mortality BC survivors. Despite these benefits, majority patients do not achieve recommended levels PA often reduce their exercise frequency after diagnosis. Moreover, screening counseling are offered to as standard care, even high units. Methods From February 2019 March 2020, we performed preoperative...
