BACKGROUND
The impact of body composition on outcomes after surgery for colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) remains unclear. The aim of the present study was to determine the influence of sarcopenia, obesity and sarcopenic obesity on morbidity, disease-free (DFS) and overall survival
The metastasis of B16 melanoma cells differed significantly in obese (ob/ob) and lean (+/?) female mice of strain C57BL/6J. When the mice were inoculated subcutaneously with melanoma cells at 10 to 11 months of age, the primary tumor grew more slowly in obese than in lean littermates and the
BACKGROUND
Obesity was identified as a major risk factor for malignant diseases, but underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Natural killer (NK) cells, a pivotal aspect of innate immunity, are capable of identifying and killing virally infected and tumor cells. Previous studies have shown altered NK
Elevated levels of COX-derived prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) occur in inflamed tissues. To evaluate the potential links between inflammation and breast cancer, levels of urinary prostaglandin E metabolite (PGE-M), a stable end metabolite of PGE2, were quantified. We enrolled 400 patients with breast
Obesity prevalence is increasing worldwide and is accompanied by low-grade inflammation with macrophage infiltration, which is linked with a poorer breast cancer prognosis. Lunasin is a natural seed peptide with chemopreventive properties and multiple bioactivities. This is the first study to
Although obesity is known as a risk factor for several human cancers, the association of obesity with cancer recurrence and metastasis remains to be characterized. Here, B16-BL6 melanoma and Lewis lung carcinoma cells were intravenously injected into diabetic (db/db) and obese (ob/ob) mice. The
Retrospective cohort study.Objectives
To determine the effect of
obesity (body mass index >30 kg/m
2) on perioperative morbidity and mortality after surgical decompression of spinal metastases.
The American College of BACKGROUND
Obesity is a major negative determinant of breast cancer outcome. However, there are contrasting data on the differential impact of obesity on specific breast cancer subtypes. In particular, very little is known on human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-positive (HER2+)
Bone is the most common site of metastasis in prostate cancer (PC), and to generate an animal model to investigate the basis of the unique organ tropism of PC cells for bone, we engrafted humanized non-obese diabetic/severe combined immunodeficient (NOD/SCID-hu) mice with human adult bone (HAB) and
OBJECTIVE
Several studies have shown that obesity is associated with more aggressive prostate cancer (PCa) variants. We hypothesized that obesity, quantified as body mass index (BMI), is associated with a higher risk of lymph node invasion (LNI) in patients undergoing extended pelvic lymph node
Objective: To evaluate the association between obesity and risk of multiple lymph node metastases in prostate cancer (PCa) patients with clinically localized EAU intermediate and high-risk classes staged by extended pelvic lymph-node
BACKGROUND
The relationship between fat distribution and lymph node metastasis has not been well studied. The goal of this study was to determine the impact of visceral obesity on lymph node metastasis in gastric cancer.
METHODS
Metastatic lymph node ratio (MLR) was defined as the number of involved
To better define the influence by host factors on very early breast cancer behavior, we retrospectively analyzed nodal status, diameter of the largest axillary metastasis (M), diameter of the primary tumor (P), the M/P ratio, tumor estrogen receptor status, age, obesity, and smoking habits in 176
BACKGROUND
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third commonest malignancy after lung and breast cancer. The most common cause of mortality from CRC is from distant metastases. Obesity is a known risk factor for primary CRC development. However, its role in metastatic disease progression is not fully
Possible relationships between risk factors, such as obesity and a family history of breast cancer, and prognostic factors of mammary carcinomas were investigated by examining the body mass index of patients and the expression of estrogen (ER) and progesterone receptors (PgR), c-erbB-2 and p53,
