BACKGROUND: Breast enhanced scintigraphy testing (BEST) combines myocardial and breast
imaging technologies into a single test that yields diagnostic information about myocardial function and distinguishes between normal breast tissue, inflammatory breast tissue, and carcinoma of the breast.
Debate exists over the possible effects of soy protein on breast tissue. To determine whether soy protein has any effect on inflammatory changes of the breast, women with inflammatory breast changes as defined by BEST imaging were asked to consume soy protein daily and were restudied 6 mo later.
METHODS: BEST imaging was performed on 197 women and 3 men over 2.5 y. There were 104 cases of women with inflammatory changes of the breast with a maximal count activity of 229 ± 50. Of these 87 women, 40 were started on a 24-g/d regimen of soy protein containing 160 mg isoflavones and 1000 mg saponins. Of the 40 women, 30 have been studied both before and after 6 mo of soy protein consumption.
RESULTS: Of the 30 women studied to date, the maximal count activity was 245 ± 40 when initially evaluated by BEST imaging. After 6 mo of dietary supplementation with soy protein, the
maximal count activity was 202 ± 32. Using a two tailed t-test for comparison, we found a statistically significant (P <0.05) difference between the inflammatory changes noted before and after soy protein consumption. No other dietary or lifestyle changes were reported by the women during follow-up evaluation.
CONCLUSIONS: BEST demonstrated a reduction in breast inflammation in 30 women
consuming daily soy protein during a 6-mo follow-up evaluation. An additional 10 women are currently being studied to determine whether the effect is persistent. Further research is indicated to determine the long-term ramifications of soy protein consumption on breast tissue.
