AB  - Accumulating  evidence  suggests  that  lifestyle  behaviors  such  as  physical  activity  and  dietary  patterns  may  impact  breast  cancer  prognosis.  Observational  data  suggest  that  patients  who  are  overweight  and  inactive  have  higher  rates  of  breast  cancer  recurrence  and  overall  mortality  as  compared  to  patients  who  are  leaner  and  more  active.1-4  Interventional  studies  in  breast  cancer  survivors  have  demonstrated  that  changes  in  diet  and  physical  activity  patterns  are  feasible  and  are  associated  with  improvements  in  quality  of  life,  less  treatment-related  weight  gain,  and  fewer  disease-  and  treatment-related  side  effects.5  Some  preliminary  evidence  suggests  that  lifestyle  change  may  also  improve  prognosis  in  breast  cancer,6  but  much  work  still  needs  to  be  done  to  validate  this  and  determine  which  types  of  lifestyle  change  are  most  important.  This  chapter  provides  an  overview  of  the  observational  and  interventional  work  in  this  area,  as  well  as  clinical  recommendations  for  breast  cancer  survivors.
