An unhealthy, inflammed gut can drive breast cancer to become much more invasive and promote the spread of the disease to other organs/parts of the body.

According to researchers from the University of Virginia,following a healthy diet can help reduce severity of breast cancer.

Most breast cancers, they explain are hormone receptor positive, which means their growth is fuelled by a hormone- either estrogen or progesterone. these hormones might help increase the rate of growth of the cancer cells but luckily these are also more likely to respond to hormone therapy.

These findings suggest that an unhealthy, microbiome and the changes that occur within the tissues that are related to an unhealthy microbiome, maybe early prediction of invasive or metastatic breast cancer.
