Abstract in brief

The study investigates whether the duration of nightly fasting influences breast cancer outcomes and related health factors, finding that women who fasted less than 13 hours per night had a higher risk of cancer recurrence.
Data from over 2,400 women with early-stage breast cancer showed that shorter fasting periods were linked to increased risk of recurrence, and this group also exhibited poorer markers related to blood sugar regulation, inflammation, and sleep.
Overall, the findings suggest that longer nightly fasting might be beneficial for breast cancer prognosis, aligning with rodent studies, but more research is needed to fully understand this relationship in humans.
