Yes, this is from the WINS trial. It was very exciting news for ER- breast cancer survivors. Women with triple negative disease (HER2 -) should also be encouraged by this finding. The addition of higher fruit/vegetable intake, reduced overall calorie intake, weight loss toward ideal body weight and exercise also make a significant impact on prevention of recurrance.
