Being Healthy During Menopause Reduces Risk of Breast Cancer
Dear Reader,
Doctors know that being obese and postmenopausal brings a great risk of breast cancer, and that cancer is often more aggressive than leaner patients. It's also true that a woman's most profound weight gain tends to happen in those years leading up to menopause, but this isn't inevitable. Lowering your breast cancer risk, especially if you're a postmenopausal woman carrying more than a little extra weight, may be as simple as living a healthier lifestyle according to recent University of Colorado Cancer Center research that appears in the journal Cancer Research.
Using nutrient tracers for both fat and sugar, the team, led by Erin Giles, PhD, a postdoctoral researcher at the CU Cancer Center, was able to see where the body stored extra calories. In lean subjects, extra fat and sugar were taken into the liver, mammary and skeletal tissue. In obese subjects that extra fat and sugar were taken up by tumors, helping them to grow.
So if you're lean, any extra calories go to healthy tissue, if you're heavy, the extra calories are there to feed a tumor. It may be that the period of menopause is a chance for women to impact their breast cancer risk by choosing to live healthier and manage their weight.
The work of the researchers also showed that tumors that came from obese animals had higher levels of the progesterone receptor and this appears to give them a metabolic advantage in terms of growth. The team recruited well-known gene analysis powerhouses David Astling and Aik-Choon Tan who examined 585 human breast cancers and noted that the human tumors with the progesterone receptor were given the very same metabolic advantage.
Interesting that there was an abnormal response by the metabolism to fat and sugar in the obese that mirrors the response by the body to fat and sugar in cases of type 2 diabetes. Seeing the similarity, the team tested the use of diabetes drug Metformin on the tumors and saw that with treatment the tumor size was dramatically decreased in the obese.

Being Healthy During Menopause Reduces Risk of Breast Cancer Continued...
Relying on a preclinical model, the researchers noticed that gaining weight during menopause is particularly troublesome for those who are obese when they start this transition. Studies show that obesity and weight gain during menopause can impact breast cancer in two ways. Tumors that develop in obese women have a metabolic advantage, and the inability to store fat and sugar in healthy tissues may further fuel the growth of the tumor.
While drugs work, the combination of diet and exercise in this groups is a more natural, more affordable, side effect free way to manage risk. You need to move more (aerobic activity is great) and eat less (as many as 200 fewer calories a day) and surround yourself with though who support your efforts to eat better and be more active.
Moving forward this team of researchers are testing to see if interventions like diet and increased exercise offered during the time of menopausal weight gain might help in terms of tumor outcomes.
To your good health,
