Impact of Lifestyle Factors on Breast Cancer Recurrence

Breast cancer recurrence remains a significant challenge, impacting patient survival and quality of life. This study aimed to identify lifestyle factors influencing recurrence through a meta-analysis of 20 studies encompassing 53 datasets. Using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis (CMA) 4.0 software, significant factors such as alcohol consumption, dietary habits, metabolic syndrome, and sleep patterns were identified. Findings emphasize the critical role of lifestyle modifications in reducing recurrence risk, advocating for educational interventions to inform breast cancer survivors. The integration of lifestyle education in clinical practices and policy efforts is crucial to supporting survivors and lowering recurrence rates effectively.
