Antioxidants decrease the risk of breast cancer by reducing oxidative stress, but association between dietary total antioxidant capacity (DTAC) and recurrence has not yet been investigated. The present study aimed to test hypothesis that DTAC is inversely associated with mortality in patients. Breast patients (n = 603) who underwent surgery a survey within 5 years after were recruited. This observed disease-free survival (DFS) according calculated based on 24-hr recall. Total was significantly lower than those without. DFS positively (p 0.005) vegetables legumes 0.001 p 0.010), respectively. However, mortality. Cox proportional hazards regression analysis showed (HR: 0.44, 95% CI 0.26-0.94) 0.30, 0.14-0.65) 0.38, 0.18-0.73) adjusting for confounding factors. first indicate could be beneficial decreasing recurrence.
