These are the most important lifestyle factors in reducing the risk of breast cancer recurrence and potential death, according to an evidence-based review of available research on the disease, published recently in the Canadian Medical Association Journal (CMAJ).

The review, which included 67 published studies, looked at a variety of lifestyle factors, including exercise, weight, diet, and smoking, among many others, to ascertain the changes that those diagnosed with breast cancer can make to improve their chances of survival and, for those who have survived the condition, to reduce their risk of the cancer recurring.
