Several research studies suggest that higher vitamin D levels in the body may help protect against breast cancer. Less is known about how vitamin D may affect prognosis and risk of recurrence in breast cancer survivors. A research study presented at the 2008 Annual Meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) examined the relationship between levels of vitamin D in the body and outcomes in women diagnosed with breast cancer. After following more than 500 newly diagnosed breast cancer patients for approximately 12 years, this study found that vitamin D levels were strongly associated with distant disease free survival and with overall survival. We provide practical information on what these findings mean and describe what factors affect vitamin D levels in the body. We discuss how to improve these levels. Age, gender, and history of breast cancer cannot be changed, but diet and nutrition can. Improved nutrition can be a powerful tool for improving wellbeing, and possibly improved prognosis, in breast cancer survivors.
