Abstract

Background: Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among females worldwide, influenced by genetic, environmental, and dietary factors. Choline, an essential nutrient, plays a crucial role in cell membrane integrity and DNA methylation, which are significant for maintaining genomic stability.Objective: This review aims to explore the anti-carcinogenic effects of choline in limiting the progression of breast cancer.Methods: A narrative review was conducted using electronic databases, including PubMed, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect, to identify relevant studies. Data were extracted from observational studies, clinical trials, and meta-analyses that focused on choline intake and breast cancer risk. Studies were appraised using established quality assessment tools.Results: Evidence suggests that adequate choline intake is linked to reduced breast cancer risk through its role in DNA methylation and gene regulation. However, findings are inconsistent due to genetic variations and methodological differences.Conclusion: While choline shows potential as a protective nutrient, further research is needed to clarify its role in breast cancer prevention, considering genetic and dietary variations
