        "summary": "A 2022 study by the World Cancer Research Fund reveals that maintaining a healthy weight and engaging in regular physical activity after a breast cancer diagnosis can significantly lower mortality risks, with high BMI linked to a 10% increased risk of death and physical activity reducing it by up to 14%. The research, involving over 226 studies and 456,000 women worldwide, also highlights benefits from healthy diets rich in fibre, soy, and vitamin D, while underscoring the urgency in Indonesia where breast cancer cases are projected to rise over 70% by 2050 without enhanced preventive measures. Indonesian Health Minister Budi Gunadi Sadikin urges women over 30 to utilise free health check programmes to prevent the disease, which remains the highest cancer incidence among women in the country.",
        "content": "<p>A 2022 study by the World Cancer Research Fund has produced\nsubstantial review findings identifying key factors that can influence\nthe risk of death for women following a breast cancer diagnosis. This\nreview aims to understand the relationship between body weight, physical\nactivity, diet, and the risk of death after a breast cancer diagnosis.\nThe study identifies several key findings regarding lifestyle factors\nafter a breast cancer diagnosis and their impact on patients\u2019 chances of\nrecovery or survival. There is evidence of a link between excess body\nfat after diagnosis and poorer health outcomes. The study shows strong\nresults indicating that a high Body Mass Index (BMI) is associated with\na 10% increased risk of death. A total of 226 studies from around the\nworld show that more than 456,000 women were diagnosed with breast\ncancer, and 36,000 of them died. Additionally, there is strong evidence\nthat a higher BMI increases the risk of new breast cancers developing.\nThe study results indicate that physical activity provides protective\nbenefits, although the quality of the evidence is categorised as\nlimited. Physical activity can reduce the risk of breast cancer death by\n14%, and this reduction occurs linearly up to activity levels of 20\nhours per week. Most research examines physical activities such as\naerobics, walking, and running, with limited studies on other\nactivities. However, even light physical activity provides survival\nbenefits. The study results show that evidence for dietary factors\nremains limited, but some points indicate positive outcomes. These\npoints include healthy eating patterns, soy consumption, high fibre\nintake, and vitamin D consumption. These points are associated with a\nlower risk of death and reduced risk of breast cancer recurrence.\nTherefore, it is important for breast cancer survivors to maintain a\nhealthy weight after diagnosis, engage in regular physical activity\naccording to their ability and medical advice, and consume high-fibre\nfoods and a healthy diet. The results of this research have been\npublished in the International Journal of Cancer. Source: World Cancer\nResearch Fund. Based on recent studies, the number of cancer cases in\nIndonesia is predicted to increase by more than 70% by 2050 if\npreventive efforts and early detection are not strengthened from now.\nThe latest study from The Lancet Oncology reveals a tragic disparity,\nwith breast cancer death rates declining in developed countries but\nsurging by nearly 100% in poor countries. The Director of Prevention and\nControl of Non-Communicable Diseases (PTM) at the Ministry of Health\n(Kemenkes), Siti Nadia Tarmizi, explains the urgency of improving the\nearly detection system for breast cancer. Breast cancer remains the\nhighest case among women. Consider 8 natural steps based on scientific\nevidence to reduce the risk, from exercise to routine early detection.\nHealth Minister Budi Gunadi Sadikin urges all Indonesian women aged over\n30 to take advantage of the Free Health Check (CKG) programme to prevent\nbreast cancer.<\/p>",
