Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, obesity, and breast cancer risk in Chinese population.

Only registered users can translate articles

Breast cancer (BC), obesity, and metabolic syndrome (MetS) shared a common mechanism of dysregulated metabolism and inflammatory response in disease initiation. Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is associated with adverse survival of BC patients. The aim of this study is to identify risk effect

Efficacy of prophylactic antibiotic administration for breast cancer surgery in overweight or obese patients: a randomized controlled trial.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE To assess the impact of prophylactic antibiotics on the prevention of surgical site infection (SSI) and the cost-effectiveness of this prophylaxis for breast cancer surgery in overweight or obese women. BACKGROUND SSI is higher than expected after breast surgery. Obesity was found to be

Association between germline single nucleotide polymorphisms in the PI3K-AKT-mTOR pathway, obesity, and breast cancer disease-free survival.

Only registered users can translate articles

Obesity-related hormones and cytokines alter PI3 K-AKT-mTOR pathway activation in breast tumors contributing to poorer disease-free survival (DFS) and decreased responsiveness to tamoxifen and trastuzumab. We hypothesized that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in candidate genes in the PI3

Obesity and breast cancer - what's new?

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Obesity rates are increasing in the developed and developing world; this has implications for breast cancer risk and outcome. Areas covered: Recent advances relating to the association of obesity with breast cancer are reviewed. Expert commentary: Obesity has been associated with

Supernatants of Adipocytes From Obese Versus Normal Weight Women and Breast Cancer Cells: In Vitro Impact on Angiogenesis.

Only registered users can translate articles

Breast cancer is correlated with a higher risk of metastasis in obese postmenopausal women. Adipokines, whose plasma concentrations are modulated in obese subjects and adipocytes surround mammary cells, suggesting that adipocyte secretome affect mammary tumorogenesis. We hypothesize that mature

Better breast cancer survival for postmenopausal women who are less overweight and eat less fat. The Iowa Women's Health Study.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND The authors sought to determine whether prediagnosis obesity, body-fat distribution, and dietary intake of fats, antioxidants, and fiber may be related to survival after the diagnosis of breast cancer. METHODS The mortality rates of 698 postmenopausal patients with unilateral breast

Expression levels of breast cancer-related GAS5 and LSINCT5 lncRNAs in cancer-free breast tissue: Molecular associations with age at menarche and obesity.

Only registered users can translate articles

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) constitute a major class of the human transcriptome which play crucial roles in the key biological processes of both normal and malignant breast cells. Although the aberrant expression of lncRNAs has been well-documented in breast cancer (BC), little is currently known

Adipocyte-derived factor as a modulator of oxidative estrogen metabolism: implications for obesity and estrogen-dependent breast cancer.

Only registered users can translate articles

The role of body fat as a risk factor for breast cancer has been well established. A decrease in the urinary 2/16α-hydroxyestrone ratio has also been shown to be a risk marker for breast cancer. These two observations are connected by the fact that obese women have decreased levels of

Relationship of obesity with serum concentrations of leptin, CRP and IL-6 in breast cancer survivors.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Several mechanisms have been proposed to explain the adverse effect of obesity on quality of life among women with breast cancer, including alteration in some inflammatory markers. The aim of this study was to determine the status of serum levels of leptin, IL-6 and CRP in obese,

Teenage obesity in relation to breast cancer risk.

Only registered users can translate articles

While most studies show a higher body mass in Western women to be positively associated with an increased breast cancer risk in postmenopausal women, they show a negative association in the case of premenopausal women. A review of case-control and cohort studies suggest that such protection applies

Role of inflammation in obesity-related breast cancer.

Only registered users can translate articles

Chronic inflammation associated with obesity is now recognized to be an important condition in promoting carcinogenesis and progression in breast cancer patients, mostly in postmenopausal women with tumors expressing estrogen and progesterone receptors. In obese patients, altered levels of several

Phase I trial of exemestane in combination with metformin and rosiglitazone in nondiabetic obese postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive metastatic breast cancer.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Obese women with breast cancer have worse prognosis than women with normal body mass index. Endocrine therapy resistance is in part mediated by insulin resistance in obese women with breast cancer. We investigated the tolerability and pharmacokinetics of exemestane in combination with

Is obesity always a risk factor for all breast cancer patients? c-erbB2 expression is significantly lower in obese patients with early stage breast cancer.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between body mass index and lipid profiles with breast cancer prognosis together with the relationship of these parametres with known breast cancer prognostic indices including c-erbB2 expression. METHODS Four hundred and

[Obesity, insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes: risk factors for breast cancer].

Only registered users can translate articles

Obesity and type 2 diabetes are two risk factors of breast cancer, especially after menopause. Underlying mechanisms are multiple and include hyperinsulinism due to insulin resistance (insulin, as insulin-like-growth factor -IGF-, is a growth factor), hyperleptinaemia associated with

Obesity is an independent predictor of poor survival in metastatic breast cancer: retrospective analysis of a patient cohort whose treatment included high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell support.

Only registered users can translate articles

The purpose of the study was to identify predictors of long-term survival in metastatic breast cancer (MBC). A cohort of 96 patients, who received high-dose chemotherapy with autologous stem cell support (HD-ASCT) as part of their treatment, was analyzed. Percent long-term survival at 10 years was
