    Highlights • The association of three dietary patterns with breast cancer risk was evaluated in a case-control study. The dietary patterns were Western, Prudent and Mediterranean. • Greater adherence to the Western dietary pattern seems to increase breast cancer risk in both premenopausal and postmenopausal women. • While greater adherence to the Prudent pattern did not show any effect on breast cancer risk, the Mediterranean dietary pattern could be protective, but only in postmenopausal women. • Tumour subtype was unaffected by dietary pattern. • Dietary recommendations based on a departure from the Western dietary pattern in favour of the Mediterranean diet could reduce breast cancer risk in the general population.
