Low fat diet breast cancer hope

Following a low-fat diet may reduce the chance that breast cancer will return for some women, a study suggests.

The research found after five years, breast cancer had returned in 12.4 % of those on a standard diet - but in only 9.8% of those on a low-fat diet.

However, most women did not benefit, and experts say the findings may be due to other factors.

The Los Angeles Biomedical Research Institute study was presented to the American Society of Clinical Oncology.
