Similarly, breast cancer remains the most common cancer in women in China. More than , new cases of breast cancer are diagnosed each year among Chinese women, and this number is expected to increase further. Although the incidence of breast cancer is high, several studies, have confirmed that the -year relative survival rate of breast cancer patients is favorable, reaching .% and greater. The proportion of breast cancer survivors is also steadily increasing, which is largely attributed to the development of early diagnosis techniques and improved treatment effects. Among various anticancer therapies, chemotherapy remains one of the most common and effective ways to destroy dividing cancer cells, alleviate tumor burden, improve cancer prognoses, and significantly increase survival rates. However, while eliminating tumor cells, chemotherapy will inevitably damage normal cells, resulting in a series of side effects that negatively influence eating and diet, leading to malnutrition. A healthy diet may alleviate adverse nutritional outcomes after chemotherapy among breast cancer patients and could improve patient quality of life during long-term treatment and survival.
