Breast cancer (BC) remains a global public health challenge. This case-control study explores the relationships between serum insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3 (IGFBP-3), insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), genetic polymorphisms, dietary patterns, and BC risk in Palestinian women. The study involved 112 newly diagnosed BC confirmed by histopathology and 222 age-matched, cancer-free controls. Data collection included face-to-face interviews, biochemical, genetic, and immunohistochemi
