1 Soyfood Consumption and Breast Cancer Survival Xiao Ou Shu, M.D., Ph.D. Ingram Professor of Cancer Research Vanderbilt University, U.S.A.

2 Objectives Brief summary of the health benefits of soyfood consumption on breast cancer risk Potential health concerns for soyfood consumption after breast cancer diagnosis Epidemiological evidence on the association of soyfood consumption and breast cancer outcomes Current recommendations for breast cancer survivors

3 Breast Cancer Survivorship Most common cancer diagnosed among women in the US and in many countries the world over 5-year survival rates: Average, 89%; Distant stage, 27%; Localized stage, 98% Over 2.9 million breast cancer survivors in the US; 4.4 million worldwide 10-15% of tumors recur within 3 years, 36-49% recur by year 10, and 41-57% by year 15 after diagnosis 63-96% of pre-menopausal breast cancer patients experience ovarian failure <1 year after chemotherapy

4 Factors Influencing Breast Cancer Outcomes cancer Progression death cancer free recurrence second primary cancer Comorbidities Lifestyle Diet Psychosocial factors Germline genetic variance Clinical characteristics: age, stage, grade Intrinsic tumor characteristics: genetic & epigenetic changes Tumor microenvironment Immune response Treatments Surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immune therapy Non-cancer related treatment

5 Soyfood Excellent Nutrition Source High quality protein Rich in essential fatty acids, low in saturated fat and high in unsaturated fat Richest dietary source of isoflavones High calcium, folate, and other nutrients High dietary fiber (extremely fermentable)

6 Proposed targets for beneficial effects of a high soy diet on human health Phytochemistry 2002; 60:

7 Chemical Structures of 17 ß-estradiol and Soy Isoflavones HO 7 O HO 7 O HO 7 O 3 O Daidzein 4' OH 5 OH O Genistein 3 4' OH H 3 CO 6 O Glycitein 3 4' OH 17 ß-estradiol HO 7 O 3 O Dihydro-daidzein 4' OH HO 7 O 3 5 OH O Dihydro-genis tein 4' OH HO 7 O 3 HO 7 OH CH 3 3 Equol 4' OH O O-Desmethylangolensin (DMA) 4' OH

8 Anti-Estrogenic Effect of Isoflavones Compete for estrogen receptor-binding sites Increase synthesis of sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) Inhibit estrogen synthesis enzymes Increase clearance of steroids Inversely related to estrogen level Prolong menstrual cycle

9 Deposition of Isoflavones in Breast Tissue Isoflavones can reach breast tissue, although with a lower level in breast tissue than in blood Breast adipose/glandular tissue distribution is 40:60 Isoflavone-derived E 2 β equivalents are, on average, 21 and 40 times more abundant than endogenous E 2 in adipose and glandular breast tissue Levels in breast tissue are potentially capable of producing a biological effect

18 Non-estrogenic Tumor Inhibitory Effect of Isoflavones and Other Soy Components Inhibit tumor cell growth and proliferation Inhibit tyrosine kinases Inhibit DNA topoisomerase II Inhibit angiogenesis, increase apoptosis Enhance immune system Anti-oxidation, anti-inflammation Decrease chemically induced mammary cancer and increase the latency of tumorigenesis in animal models

19 Pre-diagnosis Soyfood Intake and Expression Level of mrna and mirna in Triple Negative Breast Cancer Tissue

20 Take Home Message Soyfood consumption at the level of a traditional Asian diet is inversely associated with breast cancer risk. The inverse association does not appear to be restricted to ER/PR positive breast cancer, and may depend on menopausal status. Multiple biological mechanisms may be involved.

21 Safety Concerns Estrogen-like effects: soy phytoestrogens induce a genomic fingerprint that is indistinguishable from the transcriptional effects of the endogenous hormone 17β-estradiol in cell lines with no ER-β Biomodel effect on some breast cancer cell lines Increase in mammary tumors among ovariectomized rats Induction of chromosome aberrations in human peripheral blood lymphocytes Increase in serum insulin-like growth factor-1 levels Short-term (7-30 days) soy protein supplementation immediately prior to cancer surgery was associated with increased expression of cell-cycle genes in breast cancer tissue

22 Soyfood Intake Assessment Baseline(6-m), 18-m, 36-m, 5-y and 10-y questionnaires Validated FFQ Assessed habitual intake of soyfoods Soy beans, tofu, soy milk, etc Estimate nutrient intake (soy protein and isoflavone intake) Based on Chinese Food Composition Tables 2002 Baseline, cumulative weighted average

23 Influence of Soy on Breast Cancer Treatment and Survival Breast cancer is hormone-dependent cancer Breast cancer adjuvant therapies: Inhibition of estrogen action Reduction of estrogen production Soy isoflavones and other constituents: Weak estrogenic or anti-estrogenic effects Interaction with tamoxifen Other cancer inhibitory/promoting effects

39 Soyfood Consumption in Association with Bone Mineral Density

40 Take Home Message In general, moderate soyfood consumption after breast cancer diagnosis is safe and is associated with lower recurrence rates. Some but not all benefits from soyfood are related to its antiestrogenic property. The soyfood survival association does not follow a linear pattern. The beneficial effect of moderate levels of soyfood consumption on survival may be more evident among tamoxifen users.
