Can breast cancer patients drink milk? Yogurt?
The proteins in milk are mainly casein, albumin, globulin and milk protein, among which casein can stimulate the secretion of estrogen in the body, which is not good for the recovery of breast cancer and ovarian cancer patients, so try to drink less. Milk from cows using growth hormone contains IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor), a factor that promotes the development of breast cancer. Ordinary milk does not contain high levels of IGF-1, and only milk with growth hormones may contain high amounts of IGF-1, which may promote the development of breast cancer.
The application of growth hormone is not common in our milk production, especially for retail cows, which simply do not use such technical measures and cannot afford to do so. People who lack lactic acid are not suitable to drink milk and can drink yogurt instead. Milk has a high lactose content, but it must be broken down into galactose and glucose under the action of lactic acid in the digestive tract before it can be absorbed by the body. If lactic acid is lacking, consumption of milk will cause abdominal pain and diarrhea.
Yogurt is nutritious, helps digestion and regulates the bacterial balance in the body. You should not drink yogurt in excess. Even for healthy adults, you should not drink it in excess, otherwise it will easily lead to excessive stomach acid, affecting the secretion of gastric mucosa and digestive enzymes, reducing appetite and disrupting the electrolyte balance in the body. Generally speaking, it is appropriate to drink two cups per day, each cup being about 125 grams.

Is biological immunotherapy suitable for post-operative breast cancer?
In China, cellular biotherapy is often or occasionally recommended by doctors for post-operative tumor patients. This technology emerged in the mid-1980s, when lymphokine-activated killer cells (LAK cells) were transfused back into the body, and was stopped by the then Ministry of Health in the late 1990s due to its inaccurate efficacy. In 2008, the technology was changed to CIK immunotherapy, which was carried out in many places in China.
As we know, tumor occurs in human body because our own immune cells cannot recognize and clear the malignant cells. Tumor cells are not recognized by immune cells, and even if more immune cells are given, they cannot recognize the tumor cells. True immunotherapy, which uses antibodies against that tumor, is currently in the development stage.
