Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Post-menopausal woman with a diagnosis of invasive breast cancer (T1-3,pN0-2,M0) for which definitive surgery was performed during the previous 36 months.
  • On adjuvant hormonal therapy with letrozole at time of randomization (either as initial adjuvant hormonal therapy or after a switch from tamoxifen or other hormonal therapy).
  • BMI ≥ 24 kg/m2.
  • Medical, surgical or radiation oncologist agrees to subject participation in a diet and physical activity program.

Exclusion

  • Life expectancy less than five years.
  • Self-reported inability to walk at least 2 blocks (at any pace).
  • Insulin requiring diabetes (telephone directed diet and physical activity changes would be difficult in this population without close coordination with the treating physician). Non-insulin requiring diabetics are eligible for the study.
  • Serious digestive and/or absorptive problems, including inflammatory bowel disease and chronic diarrhea that preclude adherence to the study diet.
  • Cardiovascular, respiratory or musculoskeletal disease or joint problems that preclude moderate physical activity. Moderate arthritis that does not preclude physical activity is not a reason for ineligibility.
  • Psychiatric disorders or conditions that, in the opinion of the investigator, would preclude participation in the study intervention (e.g. untreated major depression or psychosis, substance abuse, severe personality disorder).
  • Patients on aromatase inhibitors other than letrozole at study entry.
  • Known recurrence of breast cancer (local, regional or distant) at any time prior to study entry.
  • History of other malignancies except: adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer, curatively treated in situ carcinoma of the cervix, or other solid tumours curatively treated with no evidence of disease for ≥ 5 years. Prior in situ cancer of the breast is not a reason for exclusion.
  • Patients not fluent in either English or French (spoken and written).
  • Patient unwilling or unable to provide informed consent.
