Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed malignancy among women in the United States and the second leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide. Epidemiological studies suggest an increase in the risk of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) in association with a high animal fat diet. Based on previous MRI studies in SV40Tag mice, we examined the effect of pre-pubertal exposure to high dietary fat in this model of TNBC. The results reported here demonstrate that a high animal fat diet significantly increased the number of aggressive cancers detected by MRI in a mouse model of human TNBC.
