POSTED BY JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY Compounds from soy and other plant sources could protect against breast cancer recurrence or affect survival, researchers report. Compounds called isoflavones are among the plant-derived compounds that may significantly reduce the risk of breast cancer recurrence or death, according to the new meta-analysis. Investigators in Australia, Denmark, England, Norway, and the...
