There was no significant heterogeneity across these eight studies comparing moderate vs lowest level of soy intake (P heterogeneity=0.60).

It has been speculated that the protective effect of soy intake on breast cancer could be mediated through a hormonal mechanism, and that high soy intake may affect circulating levels of oestrogen and sex-hormone-binding globulins and mammographic densities in a favourable manner (Messina et al, 2006).

Fewer studies have investigated the effect of soy intake on mammographic density.

Few studies have investigated the effects of soy intake in women with breast cancer.
