Abstract
Cancer has become a serious problem worldwide, as it represents the main cause of death, and its incidence has increased over the years. A potential strategy to counter the growing spread of various forms of cancer is the adoption of prevention strategies, in particular, the use of healthy lifestyles, such as maintaining a healthy weight, following a healthy diet; being physically active; avoiding smoking, alcohol consumption, and sun exposure; and vitamin D supplementation. These modifiable risk factors are associated with this disease, contributing to its development, progression, and severity. This review evaluates the relationship between potentially modifiable risk factors and overall cancer development, specifically breast, colorectal, and prostate cancer, and highlights updated recommendations on cancer prevention. The results of numerous clinical and epidemiological studies clearly show the influence of lifestyles on the development and prevention of cancer. An incorrect diet, composed mainly of saturated fats and processed products, resulting in increased body weight, combined with physical inactivity, alcohol consumption, and smoking, has induced an increase in the incidence of all three types of cancer under study. Given the importance of adopting correct and healthy lifestyles to prevent cancer, global institutions should develop strategies and environments that encourage individuals to adopt healthy and regular behaviors.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this retrospective cohort study was to analyze the cumulative incidence of breast cancer following gout and to investigate the association between gout and subsequent breast cancer in 67,598 primary care patients in Germany. METHODS This study included adult female patients (≥ 18 years) with an initial diagnosis of gout in 1284 general practices in Germany between January 2005 and December 2020. Individuals without gout were matched to gout patients using propensity score matching based on average yearly consultation frequency during the follow-up period, diabetes, obesity, chronic bronchitis/COPD diagnoses, and diuretic therapy. The 10-year cumulative incidence of breast cancer in the cohorts with and without gout was also studied using Kaplan-Meier curves, which were then compared using the log-rank test. Finally, a univariable Cox regression analysis was conducted to assess the association between gout and breast cancer. RESULTS After up to 10 years of follow-up, 4.5% of gout and 3.7% of non-gout patients were diagnosed with breast cancer. A Cox regression analysis revealed a significant association between gout and subsequent breast cancer in the total population (HR: 1.17; 95% CI: 1.05-1.31). In the age-stratified analyses, gout was only strongly associated with subsequent breast cancer in the age group ≤ 50 (HR: 1.58; 95% CI: 1.10-2.27), but the association was not significant in women over 50 years old. CONCLUSION Taken together, the findings of our study provide evidence for the association between gout and subsequent breast cancer diagnosis, particularly in the youngest age group.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity and the presence of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) before and/or after chemotherapy are associated with poor outcome in breast cancer (BC) patients. The activation of oncogenic pathways in fatty tissue leads to cell proliferation, suggesting a possible link between obesity and CTCs. MATERIALS AND METHODS In the phase III SUCCESS A trial, 3754 patients with early BC were randomized to 3 cycles of fluorouracil, epirubicin and cyclophosphamide followed by 3 cycles of docetaxel with or without gemcitabine. Data of 1088 patients with CTC assessments (CellSearch-System; Menarini Silicon Biosystems, Italy) and body mass index (BMI) measurements both before and after chemotherapy were available. Patients were classified according to the WHO's international definitions as underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese, and according to their weight-change during chemotherapy into a weight-loss group (> 5% decrease), stable-weight group (≤ 5% weight-change) or weight-gain group (>5% increase). Associations between CTC positivity and, BMI or weight-change group were analyzed using frequency-table methods. RESULTS At study entry, 47.4% patients were underweight or normal weight, 33.6% were overweight and 18.9% were obese. Before and after chemotherapy, CTCs were detected in 20.1% and 22.6% of patients, respectively. There was no association between CTC positivity and BMI before (P = 0.104) or after (P = 0.051) chemotherapy. Furthermore, there was no association between weight-change group and CTC status before/after chemotherapy (P = 0.332). CONCLUSIONS According to our analysis, the risk factors obesity and prevalence of CTCs are not associated and may represent independent prognostic factors.

Novel Association of IGF2BP2 Gene Variants With Altered Risk of Breast Cancer and as Potential Molecular Biomarker of Triple Negative Breast Cancer. Clin Breast Cancer 2023; 23:272-280. [PMID: 36653207 DOI: 10.1016/j.clbc.2022.12.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2022] [Revised: 12/20/2022] [Accepted: 12/22/2022] [Indexed: 01/01/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Several studies documented that insulin-like growth factor-2 mRNA-binding protein 2 (IGF2BP2) contributes to carcinogenesis, and 1 report documented the association of IGF2BP2 rs4402960 with increased risk of breast cancer (BC). This study investigated the association of rs4402960 and rs1470579 IGF2BP2 variants with BC and triple negative BC (TNBC). MATERIALS AND METHODS This case-control study included 488 BC patients comprising 130 TNBC and 358 non-TNBC patients, and 476 cancer-free controls. Genomic DNA was obtained from peripheral venous blood, and genotyping was done by allelic exclusion method on real-time PCR. RESULTS The rs440960, but not rs1470579, minor allele was significantly associated with BC, and significantly higher rs4402960 T/T genotype frequency was noted in BC patients than controls; the distribution of rs1470579 genotypes were comparable between BC patients and controls. In contrast, significantly lower rs1470579 minor allele frequency, and reduced rs1470579 A/C and C/C, and rs4402960 T/T genotype frequencies were seen in TNBC cases. Among TNBC cases, rs4402960 and rs1470579 correlated with menses pattern, histological type, breastfeeding, oral contraceptive use and hormonotherapy. Among non-TNBC patients, and rs1470579 correlated significantly with breast feeding, oral contraceptive use, hormonotherapy, and nodal status; rs4402960 also correlated with menses pattern. Two-locus (rs440960-rs1470579) haplotype analysis confirmed the positive association of TC, and negative association of GC and TA haplotypes with BC, while TC and GC haplotypes were negatively associated with TNBC. CONCLUSION Whereas rs440960 was positively associated with BC, both rs4402960 and rs1470579 were negatively associated with TNBC, suggesting potential diagnostic/prognostic role in BC and its complications.

Postdiagnosis body fatness, weight change and breast cancer prognosis: Global Cancer Update Program (CUP global) systematic literature review and meta-analysis. Int J Cancer 2023; 152:572-599. [PMID: 36279884 PMCID: PMC10092239 DOI: 10.1002/ijc.34322] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 24.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/04/2021] [Revised: 07/29/2022] [Accepted: 09/05/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
Previous evidence on postdiagnosis body fatness and mortality after breast cancer was graded as limited-suggestive. To evaluate the evidence on body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, waist-hip-ratio and weight change in relation to breast cancer prognosis, an updated systematic review was conducted. PubMed and Embase were searched for relevant studies published up to 31 October, 2021. Random-effects meta-analyses were conducted to estimate summary relative risks (RRs). The evidence was judged by an independent Expert Panel using pre-defined grading criteria. One randomized controlled trial and 225 observational studies were reviewed (220 publications). There was strong evidence (likelihood of causality: probable) that higher postdiagnosis BMI was associated with increased all-cause mortality (64 studies, 32 507 deaths), breast cancer-specific mortality (39 studies, 14 106 deaths) and second primary breast cancer (11 studies, 5248 events). The respective summary RRs and 95% confidence intervals per 5 kg/m2 BMI were 1.07 (1.05-1.10), 1.10 (1.06-1.14) and 1.14 (1.04-1.26), with high between-study heterogeneity (I2 = 56%, 60%, 66%), but generally consistent positive associations. Positive associations were also observed for waist circumference, waist-hip-ratio and all-cause and breast cancer-specific mortality. There was limited-suggestive evidence that postdiagnosis BMI was associated with higher risk of recurrence, nonbreast cancer deaths and cardiovascular deaths. The evidence for postdiagnosis (unexplained) weight or BMI change and all outcomes was graded as limited-no conclusion. The RCT showed potential beneficial effect of intentional weight loss on disease-free-survival, but more intervention trials and well-designed observational studies in diverse populations are needed to elucidate the impact of body composition and their changes on breast cancer outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Higher body mass index (BMI) is associated with worse prognosis in pre- and postmenopausal patients with breast cancer (BC). However, there is insufficient evidence regarding the optimal adjuvant endocrine therapy for obese premenopausal women with hormone receptor (HR)-positive BC. AIM To evaluate the impact of obesity and adjuvant endocrine therapy on prognosis in premenopausal patients with BC. METHODS AND RESULTS We retrospectively reviewed the medical record of premenopausal women who received curative surgery for clinical stage I-III HR-positive BC from 2007 to 2017. Patients were classified into five groups according to BMI: underweight (UW), normal weight (NW), obese 1 degree (OB1), obese 2 degree (OB2), and obese 3 degree (OB3) categories. The primary analysis was a comparison of BC-specific survival (BCSS) according to BMI (UW/NW vs. OB1-3) and adjuvant endocrine therapy (with or without ovarian function suppression [OFS]). Of 13 021 patients, the data of 3380 patients were analyzed. BCSS in OB1-3 patients was significantly worse than that in patients with UW/NW (hazard ratio [HR] 2.37; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.40-4.02: p = .0009). In OB1-3 patients who received tamoxifen (TAM), BCSS was significantly worse than that in UW/NW patients (p = .0086); however, a significant difference was not shown in patients who received TAM and OFS (p = .0921). CONCLUSION High BMI was associated with worse prognosis in premenopausal patients with HR-positive BC who received adjuvant TAM. The role of OFS as adjuvant endocrine therapy remains unclear, and further studies are required to explore the adequate management of obese premenopausal patients.

Abstract
Background Obesity is a high-risk factor for development and poor prognosis of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), which was considered as a high malignant and poor clinical outcome breast cancer subtype. TNBC proliferation and migration regulated by obesity is complex. Here, we studied effects of cytokines secreted from adipose tissue on development of TNBC. Methods Forty postmenopausal cases by Yuebei People’s Hospital of Shaoguan with stage I/IIA TNBC were enrolled. Cytokine concentrations were examined using ELISA analysis. Proliferation and migration of TNBC cell lines were performed using CCK8 assays and Transwell tests. The Log-rank (Mantel-Cox) test, two-tailed Mann-Whitney U test and two-tailed unpaired t test were performed using GraphPad Prism 8.4.2. Results Survival analysis indicated that obese patients with TNBC had worse disease free survival (DFS) as compared with normal weight group (Hazard Ratio 4.393, 95% confidence interval (CI) of ratio 1.071–18.02, p < 0.05). Obese patients with TNBC had severe insulin resistance and high plasma triglycerides. However, plasma adiponectin concentration was decreased and interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) concentration was increased in obese TNBC patients as compared with the nonobese group. The similar results were found in the cytokine secretion from adipose tissues and insulin-resistant adipocytes. The secretion of adipose tissue from obese TNBC patients could promote proliferation and migration of TNBC cell lines, including MDA-MB-157, MDA-MB-231, MDA-MB-453 and HCC38 cells. These TNBC cell lines co-incubated with insulin-resistant 3T3-L1 adipocytes or supplementing these cytokines medium also exhibited increase of proliferative and migratory capacity. Conclusion TNBC patients with obesity had worse prognosis compared with the normal weight groups. Alteration of cytokines secreted from adipose tissues mediated proliferation and migration of TNBC, leading to tumor progression in TNBC patients with obesity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adiposity and weight change among patients with breast cancer are associated with mortality, but there is limited evidence on the associations with distant recurrence or other causes of death or on central adiposity. Moreover, the relationship with breast cancer subtypes and by menopause status is unclear. METHODS We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of prospective studies of breast cancer patients investigating the associations of general and central adiposity (body mass index [BMI] and waist circumference [WC], respectively), before and after diagnosis, and weight change, with all-cause mortality, breast cancer-specific mortality (BCSM), and recurrence. RESULTS 173 studies (519,544 patients, 60,249 deaths overall, and 25,751 breast cancer deaths) were included. For BMI < 1 year post diagnosis, compared with normal weight women, the summary relative risk (RR) for obese women was 1.21 (1.15-1.27) for all-cause mortality, 1.22 (1.13-1.32) for BCSM, 1.12 (1.06-1.18) for recurrence, and 1.19 (1.11-1.28) for distant recurrence. Obesity was associated with all-cause mortality and BCSM in patients with ER+ or HER2+ tumors, whereas no clear association was observed in patients with triple-negative tumors. Similar associations were observed by menopausal status. Stronger associations were observed in East Asians than Europeans. Central adiposity was associated with all-cause mortality, while large weight gain was associated with all-cause mortality, BCSM, and recurrence. CONCLUSION Higher adiposity is associated with all-cause mortality, BCSM, recurrence, and distant recurrence in breast cancer patients, with similar associations by menopausal status and some evidence of heterogeneity by subtypes. Weight gain is also associated with recurrence and survival among breast cancer patients.

Abstract
Breast cancer is one of the most threatening malignant tumors in women worldwide; hence, investigators are continually performing novel research in this field. However, an accurate prediction of its prognosis and postoperative recovery remains difficult. The severity of breast cancer is patient-specific and affected by several health factors; thus, unknown mechanisms may affect its progression. This article analyzes existing literature on breast cancer, ranging from the discovery of ghrelin to its present use, and aims to provide a reference for future research into breast cancer mechanisms and treatment-plan improvement. Various parts of ghrelin have been associated with breast cancer by direct or indirect evidence. The ghrelin system may encompass the direction of expanding breast cancer treatment methods and prognostic indicators. Therefore, we compiled almost all studies on the relationship between the ghrelin system and breast cancer, including unacylated ghrelin, its GHRL gene, ghrelin O-acyltransferase, the receptor growth hormone secretagogue receptor, and several splice variants of ghrelin to lay the foundation for future research.

Abstract
AIM To analyse the fibronectin type III domain containing 5 (FNDC5)/irisin expression in tumour tissue of postmenopausal women presenting breast cancer and different body mass indexes (BMIs), proposing that obesity deregulates the expression of FNDC5/irisin at the breast tumour level. In addition, we investigated if different breast cancer cell lines are capable to synthesise this protein. METHODS A total of 150 postmenopausal women (50 with a normal BMI, 50 presenting overweight and 50 having obesity) diagnosed with operable breast cancer were included. FNDC5/irisin expression was determined by immunohistochemistry or by immunocytochemistry. Qualitative analysis of protein expression was performed by the H-Score method, through ImageJ's IHC Profiler software. Statistical analyses were carried out using STATA V.14.0 (Texas, USA); p value<0.05 was accepted as statistically significant. Statistical power of the study was >80% with a p<0.05. RESULTS FNDC5/irisin expression in breast cancer tissue of postmenopausal women with obesity was significantly increased when compared with FNDC5/irisin expression in women with a normal BMI (p=0.001). Furthermore, three breast cancer cell lines studied were capable to synthesise and express FNDC5/irisin, being the BT-474 cell line the one that exhibited the highest intensity of expression. CONCLUSIONS Our results confirm that women with breast cancer and obesity exhibit an increased irisin expression in their tumorous tissue compared with women with breast cancer and normal BMI. Likewise, in vitro breast cancer cell lines have the capacity to synthesise and express FNDC5/irisin, without any extracellular stimuli, however the microenvironment surrounding these cells in vivo participates in its regulation.

Abstract
Cancers that grow in the bone marrow are for most patients scary, painful, and incurable. These cancers are especially hard to treat due to the supportive microenvironment provided by the bone marrow niche in which they reside. New therapies designed to target tumor cells have extended the life expectancy for these patients, but better therapies are needed and new ideas for how to target these cancers are crucial. This need has led researchers to interrogate whether bone marrow adipocytes (BMAds), which increase in number and size during aging and in obesity, contribute to cancer initiation or progression within the bone marrow. Across the globe, the consensus in the field is a unified "yes". However, how to target these adipocytes or the factors they produce and how BMAds interact with different tumor cells are open research questions. Herein, we review this research field, with the goal of accelerating research in the network of laboratories working in this area and attracting bright scientists with new perspectives and ideas to the field in order to bring about better therapies for patients with bone cancers.

Abstract
Weight and the BMI are inadequate proxies for adiposity that do not distinguish between muscle and adipose tissue or different specific deposits of adipose tissue (visceral and subcutaneous), which have different physiological effects. Patients with the same BMI are likely to have different anatomical distribution of adipose and muscle tissue. To our knowledge, only few studies have investigated the association between fat and muscle tissue distribution of the body, and response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
Purpose To compare the adipose and muscle tissue areas in patients who responded differently to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Methods One hundred and eighty six patients diagnosed with breast cancer who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy between January 2015- October 2019 and were operated after the treatment were retrospectively included in the study. Pathological results were divided into five groups using the Miller-Payne grading systems. Grade 1 indicating no significant reduction in malignant cells; Grade 2: a minor loss of malignant cells (≤ 30 %); Grade 3: reduction in malignant cells between 30 % and 90 %; Grade 4: disappearance of malignant cells >90 %; Grade 5: no malignant cells identifiable. Pre-treatment PET CT scans were evaluated, and calculation of body composition parameters were performed on a single axial section passing through the L3 vertebrae. Spearman’s correlation test was used to analyze the correlation between SAT, VAT, MT parameters and pathological responses. Results There was no strong correlation between the 5 groups separated according to neoadjuvant chemotherapy treatment response and tissue distributions. However, that there was a very low correlation found between superficial adipose tissue and pathological response (r=, 156). Conclusion In conclusion, our results have provided a very low correlation between SAT and more than 30 % response. More research is required to evaluate the role of the body fat and muscle parameters in response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in larger patient populations.

Abstract
Background Since body mass index (BMI) is a convincing risk factor for breast cancer, it is speculated to be associated with lymph node metastasis. However, epidemiological studies are inconclusive. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the effect of BMI on the lymph node metastasis risk of breast cancer. Methods Cohort studies that evaluating BMI and lymph node metastasis in breast cancer were selected through various databases including PubMed, PubMed Central (PMC), Web of science, the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Chinese Scientific Journals (VIP) and Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform (WanFang) until November 30, 2019. The two-stage, random effect meta-analysis was performed to assess the dose-response relationship between BMI and lymph node metastasis risk. Between-study heterogeneity was assessed using I2. Subgroup analysis was done to find possible sources of heterogeneity. Results We included a total of 20 studies enrolling 52,904 participants. The summary relative risk (RR) (1.10, 95%CI: 1.06–1.15) suggested a significant effect of BMI on the lymph node metastasis risk of breast cancer. The dose-response meta-analysis (RR = 1.01, 95%CI: 1.00–1.01) indicated a positive linear association between BMI and lymph node metastasis risk. For every 1 kg/m2 increment of BMI, the risk of lymph node metastasis increased by 0.89%. In subgroup analyses, positive linear dose-response relationships between BMI and lymph node metastasis risk were observed among Asian, European, American, premenopausal, postmenopausal, study period less than 5 years, and more than 5 years groups. For every 1 kg/m2 increment of BMI, the risk of lymph node metastasis increased by 0.99, 0.85, 0.61, 1.44, 1.45, 2.22, and 0.61%, respectively. Conclusion BMI significantly increases the lymph node metastasis risk of breast cancer as linear dose-response reaction. Further studies are needed to identify this association.

Abstract
Male breast cancer (MBC) represents <1% of all breast cancers and little is known about its true etiology. The known risk factors associated with MBC are age, Klinefelter syndrome, BRCA2 mutation, high estrogen levels, gynecomastia, and cirrhosis of any cause. Obesity has been documented as a risk factor to MBC in some studies even though it is not officially recognized as a risk factor. Herein, we present a 53-year-old obese male with estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer. Although this patient has a strong family history of ovarian cancer, obesity could have been an additive predisposing factor. As more cases of MBC in obese patients are explored, we might be able to gain a better understanding of its true etiology and mechanism.

Resumo Objetivo Avaliar a completude e a tendência de completude de dados dos prontuários de idosas acometidas por câncer de mama, diagnosticadas e atendidas entre os anos de 2001 e 2006 em um centro de referência em saúde da mulher do Estado de São Paulo. Métodos Estudo descritivo analítico baseado em dados secundários. Para análise da não completude, utilizou-se a classificação: excelente (< 5%), bom (5 a 10%), regular (10 a 20%), ruim (20 a 50%) e muito ruim (≥50%). Resultados Variáveis socioeconômicas e demográficas, bem como as de fatores de risco e comportamentais predominaram dentre as classificadas como regular, ruim e muito ruim. Os melhores escores foram das variáveis pós-tratamento, seguidas pelas relacionadas ao diagnóstico e ao tratamento. A única variável com tendência de não completude decrescente foi história familiar de câncer de mama (p = 0,05). Apresentaram tendência de não completude crescente: raça/cor (p = 0,01), anos de estudo (p = 0,01), uso de contraceptivos orais (p = 0,002), tempo de uso de contraceptivos orais (p = 0,002), reposição hormonal (p = 0,007) e amamentação (p = 0,004). Conclusão Dentre as variáveis classificadas como regular, ruim e muito ruim, a tendência de completude predominou como constante, seguida pela tendência crescente de não completude; apenas uma variável apresentou melhora da tendência de completude. O registro completo dos dados em prontuário é tarefa inerente de toda a equipe de saúde, primordial para estabelecer protocolos da assistência, no desenvolvimento de pesquisa, bem como na implementação de políticas públicas de saúde.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the association between body mass index (BMI) and prognosis of Chinese women with breast cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS 3,380 primary breast cancer patients who underwent surgery from 2010 to 2012 were selected and classified as low BMI group (BMI < 25.0) and high BMI group (BMI ≥ 25.0). The follow-up data for disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) were obtained from 3,178 patients (median follow-up of 58 months). Cox regression analysis was used to evaluate the effect of BMI on DFS and OS. RESULTS The high BMI group showed more aggressive pathological features. BMI was negatively associated with OS (hazard ratio (HR) 1.33, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.06-1.66; p = 0.012) but not DFS (HR 1.15, 95% CI 0.94-1.40; p = 0.17). Furthermore, when stratified by age, BMI was significantly and negatively associated with OS (HR 1.43, 95% CI 1.05-1.95; p = 0.025) in patients above 50 years of age, but this effect was not detected in younger patients. CONCLUSION BMI was an independent prognostic factor of OS in Chinese women with breast cancer, and age might be a mitigating factor. Among patients above 50 years of age, those with a high BMI were at greater risk of poor prognosis compared to individuals with a low BMI.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cancer among women worldwide. With increasing survival rates, focus has expanded to long-term adverse effects of adjuvant chemotherapy and/or aromatase inhibitors. Weight gain during chemotherapy has been well documented, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. A change in glucose and insulin metabolism is a possible consequence. METHODS We searched PubMed on the 4th of May 2018, and found eight articles that compared measurements of glucose and insulin before and after chemotherapy and/or aromatase inhibitors in woman with BC. RESULTS A general trend of increased glucose and insulin is seen and likely to be caused by weight gain and/or changes in body composition as a consequence of adjuvant treatment of BC. DISCUSSION Due to methodological limitations including short follow-up times and small sample sizes, further studies are required to better describe metabolic consequences of adjuvant chemotherapy and/or aromatase inhibitors. Future studies could help identify patients in high-risk of developing cardiometabolic disease after BC treatment.

Abstract
Background: Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide and the obesity is one of
the factors related to the risk of breast cancer mainly in postmenopausal women. This study investigated the association
between obesity in pre- and postmenopausal women with the development of breast cancer and the expression of
estrogen, progesterone, HeR-2 and triple-negative (TN) receptors. Methods: A case-control study was conducted
on 100 patients with recently diagnosed breast cancer and 400 age-matched controls. The women were divided into
pre- and post-menopausal groups. Results: The multivariate analysis showed that postmenopausal women with
a BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2 at pre-diagnosis and at the most recent measurement were 1.50 (95% CI 1.06-2.13) and 1.56
(95% CI 1.11-2.21) times more likely to develop breast cancer, respectively. These women had a prevalence of
obesity of 27.7% when considering pre-diagnosis BMI and 29.4% when analyzing the indicator of recent BMI. When
only the cases regarding the presence of obesity with clinicopathological variables were analyzed, a total of 95.2% of
the postmenopausal women with pre-diagnostic obesity according to BMI presented the positive estrogen receptor
(ER) subtype. Conclusions: In Brazilian women, there is an association between obesity and the risk of breast cancer
postmenopause; moreover, there is an association between the occurrence of the positive ER subtype in postmenopausal
women and pre-diagnostic obesity according to BMI.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We assessed the association between overweight, obesity, and morbid obesity with the incidence of the most aggressive breast cancer subtypes in women. METHODS AND MATERIALS A cross-sectional study was performed. We conducted a record review to identify the following aspects: body mass index, sociodemographic features, tumor characteristics, and reproductive and molecular aspects. Descriptive statistics and univariate analysis were performed to identify the association between the molecular subtypes and the study variables. In addition, we used multivariate analysis to identify the association between obesity and the presence of metastatic lymph nodes. RESULTS We included 1446 women with an average age of 52.5 ± 12.1 years. Of the 1446 patients, 47% were premenopausal and 75% were overweight. Univariate analysis indicated a statistically significant association between obesity and advanced disease stage, as well as nulliparity and multiparity. Similar results were found for women with morbid obesity. Model 1 of the multivariate analysis showed an association between the presence of metastatic lymph nodes and obesity (odds ratio [OR], 1.6; P = .008) and histologic grade 2 or 3 (OR, 2.4; P = .003). Using model 2, an association was identified between an advanced disease stage and 2 factors: morbid obesity (OR, 1.9; P = .02) and positive human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (OR, 1.8; P = .045). CONCLUSION We found that obesity is associated with the more advanced stages of breast cancer. Further studies are needed to evaluate the role of obesity in breast cancer progression in women.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity has been reported as an adverse prognostic factor in breast cancer, but inconsistently, and under-treatment with chemotherapy may occur. We provide the first assessment of obesity and breast cancer outcomes in a population-based, multi-ethnic cohort of New Zealand patients treated with chemotherapy. METHODS All 3536 women diagnosed with invasive breast cancer in the Waikato region of New Zealand from 2000-2014 were registered and followed until last follow-up in specialist or primary care, death or Dec 2014; median follow-up 4.1 years. For the 1049 patients receiving chemotherapy, mortality from breast cancer, other causes, and all causes, and rates of loco-regional and of distant recurrence, were assessed by body mass index (BMI), recorded after diagnosis, adjusting for other clinico-pathological and demographic factors by Cox regression. RESULTS BMI was known for 98% (n=1049); 33% were overweight (BMI 25-29.9), 21% were obese (BMI 30-34.9), and 14% were very obese (BMI 35+). There were no significant associations between obesity and survival, after adjustment for demographic and clinical factors (hazard ratios, HR, for very obese compared to BMI 21-24, for breast cancer deaths 0.96 (0.56-1.67), and for all deaths 1.03 (0.63-1.67), respectively, and only small non-significant associations for loco-regional or metastatic recurrence rates (HR 1.17 and 1.33 respectively). Subgroup analyses by age, menopausal status, ethnicity, stage, post-surgical radiotherapy, mode of diagnosis, type of surgery, and receptor status, showed no associations. No associations were seen with BMI as a continuous variable. The results in all patients irrespective of treatment but with recorded BMI data (n=2296) showed similar results. CONCLUSIONS In this population, obesity assessed post-diagnosis had no effect on survival or recurrence, based on 1049 patients with chemotherapy treatment with follow-up up to 14 years.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previously, it has been shown that obesity may be considered as a risk factor for breast cancer in postmenopausal women. Leptin, a hormone whose level is elevated in obesity, has been suggested to be involved in the development of breast cancer, and univariate survival analyses have shown that over-expression of ACAT2, an enzyme that is involved in the production of cholesteryl esters, may be associated with a poor prognosis. Here, we aimed to investigate the effect of leptin on the proliferation, migration and invasion of breast cancer cells, as well as to elucidate its underlying mode of action. METHODS Gene expression changes in leptin treated breast cancer-derived MCF-7, T47D and BT474 cells were assessed using PCR array, qRT-PCR and Western blot analyses. The expression patterns of Ob-R (leptin receptor) and ACAT2 in breast cancer cells and primary breast cancer tissue samples were analyzed using immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry, respectively. Leptin-induced proliferation of breast cancer cells was assessed using a CCK8 assay, and scratch wound and Transwell assays were used to assess breast cancer cell invasion and migration. RESULTS We found that, among the genes tested, ACAT2 expression exhibited the most significant changes in the leptin treated cells. In addition, we found that inhibition of ACAT2 expression using pyripyropene A (PPPA) or siRNA-mediated gene silencing significantly decreased leptin-induced proliferation, migration and invasion of MCF-7 and T47D cells. Subsequent Western blot analyses strongly indicated that the PI3K/AKT/SREBP2 signaling pathway was involved in leptin-induced ACAT2 upregulation in both MCF-7 and T47D cells. Finally, through the analysis of primary breast cancer tissue samples we found that ACAT2 may affect cancer progression through activation of the Ob-R. CONCLUSIONS Our data indicate that leptin may enhance the proliferation, migration and invasion of breast cancer cells via ACAT2 up-regulation through the PI3K/AKT/SREBP2 signaling pathway. Therefore, the leptin/ACAT2 axis may represent an attractive therapeutic target for breast cancer, particularly in postmenopausal and/or obese women.

Abstract
Commensal microbes inhabit barrier surfaces, providing a first line of defense against invading pathogens, aiding in metabolic function of the host, and playing a vital role in immune development and function. Several recent studies have demonstrated that commensal microbes influence systemic immune function and homeostasis. For patients with extramucosal cancers, or cancers occurring distal to barrier surfaces, the role of commensal microbes in influencing tumor progression is beginning to be appreciated. Extrinsic factors such as chronic inflammation, antibiotics, and chemotherapy dysregulate commensal homeostasis and drive tumor-promoting systemic inflammation through a variety of mechanisms, including disruption of barrier function and bacterial translocation, release of soluble inflammatory mediators, and systemic changes in metabolic output. Conversely, it has also been demonstrated that certain immune therapies, immunogenic chemotherapies, and checkpoint inhibitors rely on the commensal microbiota to facilitate anti-tumor immune responses. Thus, it is evident that the mechanisms associated with commensal microbe facilitation of both pro- and anti-tumor immune responses are context dependent and rely upon a variety of factors present within the tumor microenvironment and systemic periphery. The goal of this review is to highlight the various contexts during which commensal microbes orchestrate systemic immune function with a focus on describing possible scenarios where the loss of microbial homeostasis enhances tumor progression.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the body mass index (BMI) at a breast cancer diagnosis and various factors including the hormone-receptor, menopause, and lymph-node status, and identify if there is a specific patient subgroup for which the BMI has an effect on the breast cancer prognosis. We retrospectively analyzed the data of 8,742 patients with non-metastatic invasive breast cancer from the research database of Asan Medical Center. The overall survival (OS) and breast-cancer-specific survival (BCSS) outcomes were compared among BMI groups using the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional-hazards regression models with an interaction term. There was a significant interaction between BMI and hormone-receptor status for the OS (P = 0.029), and BCSS (P = 0.013) in lymph-node-positive breast cancers. Obesity in hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer showed a poorer OS (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] = 1.51, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.92 to 2.48) and significantly poorer BCSS (HR = 1.80, 95% CI = 1.08 to 2.99). In contrast, a high BMI in hormone-receptor-negative breast cancer revealed a better OS (HR = 0.44, 95% CI = 0.16 to 1.19) and BCSS (HR = 0.53, 95% CI = 0.19 to 1.44). Being underweight (BMI < 18.50 kg/m2) with hormone-receptor-negative breast cancer was associated with a significantly worse OS (HR = 1.98, 95% CI = 1.00–3.95) and BCSS (HR = 2.24, 95% CI = 1.12–4.47). There was no significant interaction found between the BMI and hormone-receptor status in the lymph-node-negative setting, and BMI did not interact with the menopause status in any subgroup. In conclusion, BMI interacts with the hormone-receptor status in a lymph-node-positive setting, thereby playing a role in the prognosis of breast cancer.

Abstract
PURPOSE The leptin-signaling pathway and other genes involved in energy homeostasis (EH) have been examined in relation to breast cancer risk as well as to obesity. We test the hypothesis that genetic variation in EH genes influences survival after diagnosis with breast cancer and that body mass index (BMI) will modify that risk. METHODS We evaluated associations between 10 EH genes and survival among 1,186 non-Hispanic white and 1,155 Hispanic/Native American women diagnosed with breast cancer. Percent Native American (NA) ancestry was determined from 104 ancestry-informative markers. Adaptive rank truncation product (ARTP) was used to determine gene and pathway significance. RESULTS The overall EH pathway was marginally significant for all-cause mortality among women with low NA ancestry (P(ARTP) = 0.057). Within the pathway, ghrelin(GHRL) and leptin receptor (LEPR) were significantly associated with all-cause mortality (P(ARTP) = 0.035 and 0.007, respectively). The EH pathway was significantly associated with breast cancer-specific mortality among women with low NA ancestry (P(ARTP) = 0.038). Three genes cholecystokinin (CCK), GHRL, and LEPR were significantly associated with breast cancer-specific mortality among women with low NA ancestry (P(ARTP) = 0.046,0.015, and 0.046, respectively), while neuropeptide Y (NPY) was significantly associated with breast cancer-specific mortality among women with higher NA ancestry(P(ARTP) = 0.038). BMI did not modify these associations. CONCLUSIONS Our data support our hypothesis that certain EH genes influence survival after diagnosis with breast cancer; associations appear to be most important among women with low NA ancestry.

Abstract
Background Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the estrogen receptor gene (ESR1) play critical roles in breast cancer (BC) susceptibility. Genome-wide association studies have reported that SNPs in ESR1 are associated with BC susceptibility; however, the results of recent studies have been inconsistent. Therefore, we performed this meta-analysis to obtain more accurate and credible results. Methods We pooled published literature from PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science and calculated odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) to assess the strength of associations using fixed effects models and random effects models. Twenty relevant case-control and cohort studies of the 3 related SNPs were identified. Results Three SNPs of the ESR1 gene, rs2077647:T>C, rs2228480:G>A and rs3798577:T>C, were not associated with increased BC risk in our overall meta-analysis. Stratified analysis by ethnicity showed that in Caucasians, the rs2228480 AA genotype was associated with a 26% decreased risk of BC compared with the GG genotype (OR = 0.740, 95% CI: 0.555–0.987). The C allele of the rs3798577:T>C variant was associated with decreased BC risk in Asians (OR = 0.828, 95% CI: 0.730–0.939), while Caucasians with this allele were found to experience significantly increased BC risk (OR = 1.551, 95% CI: 1.037–2.321). A non-significant association between rs2077647 and BC risk was identified in all of the evaluated ethnic populations. Conclusion Rs3798577 was associated with an increased risk of BC in Caucasian populations but a decreased risk in Asians. Rs2228480 had a large protective effect in Caucasians, while rs2077647 was not associated with BC risk.

Serum irisin levels are lower in patients with breast cancer: association with disease diagnosis and tumor characteristics. BMC Cancer 2015; 15:898.

Abstract
Background Irisin is a recently discovered myokine, involved in the browning of white adipose tissue. To date, its function has been mainly associated with energy homeostasis and metabolism, and it has been proposed as a promising therapeutic target for obesity and metabolic diseases. This is the first study investigating the role of irisin in human breast cancer. Methods Participants included one hundred and one (101) female patients with invasive ductal breast cancer and fifty one (51) healthy women. Serum levels of irisin, leptin, adiponectin and resistin were quantified in duplicates by ELISA. Serum levels of CEA, CA 15–3 and Her-2/neu were measured on an immunology analyzer. The association between irisin and breast cancer was examined by logistic regression analysis. The feasibility of serum irisin in discriminating breast cancer patients was assessed by ROC curve analysis. Potential correlations with demographic, anthropometric and clinical parameters, with markers of adiposity and with breast tumor characteristics were also investigated. Results Serum levels of irisin were significantly lower in breast cancer patients compared to controls (2.47 ± 0.57 and 3.24 ± 0.66 μg/ml, respectively, p < 0.001). A significant independent association between irisin and breast cancer was observed by univariate and multivariate analysis (p < 0.001). It was estimated that a 1 unit increase in irisin levels leads to a reduction in the probability of breast cancer by almost 90 %. Irisin could effectively discriminate breast cancer patients at a cut-off point of 3.21 μg/ml, with 62.7 % sensitivity and 91.1 % specificity. A positive association with tumor stage and marginal associations with tumor size and lymph node metastasis were observed (p < 0.05, p < 0.01, p < 0.01, respectively). Conclusions Our novel findings implicate irisin in breast cancer and suggest its potential application as a new diagnostic indicator of the presence of disease.

Abstract
Introduction Obese breast cancer patients have worse prognosis than normal weight patients, but the level at which obesity is prognostically unfavorable is unclear. Methods This retrospective analysis was performed using data from the SUCCESS A trial, in which 3754 patients with high-risk early breast cancer were randomized to anthracycline- and taxane-based chemotherapy with or without gemcitabine. Patients were classified as underweight/normal weight (body mass index (BMI) < 25.0), overweight (BMI 25.0–29.9), slightly obese (BMI 30.0–34.9), moderately obese (BMI 35.0–39.9) and severely obese (BMI ≥ 40.0), and the effect of BMI on disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) was evaluated (median follow-up 65 months). In addition, subgroup analyses were conducted to assess the effect of BMI in luminal A-like, luminal B-like, HER2 (human epidermal growth factor 2)-positive and triple-negative tumors. Results Multivariate analyses revealed an independent prognostic effect of BMI on DFS (p = 0.001) and OS (p = 0.005). Compared with underweight/normal weight patients, severely obese patients had worse DFS (hazard ratio (HR) 2.70, 95 % confidence interval (CI) 1.71–4.28, p < 0.001) and OS (HR 2.79, 95 % CI 1.63–4.77, p < 0.001), while moderately obese, slightly obese and overweight patients did not differ from underweight/normal weight patients with regard to DFS or OS. Subgroup analyses showed a similar significant effect of BMI on DFS and OS in patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), but not in patients with other tumor subtypes. Conclusions Severe obesity (BMI ≥ 40) significantly worsens prognosis in early breast cancer patients, particularly for triple-negative tumors. Trial registration Clinicaltrials.gov NCT02181101. Registered September 2005.

Abstract
While rare compared to female breast cancer the incidence of male breast cancer (MBC) has increased in the last few decades. Without comprehensive epidemiological studies, the explanation for the increased incidence of MBC can only be speculated. Nevertheless, one of the most worrying global public health issues is the exponential rise in the number of overweight and obese people, especially in the developed world. Although obesity is not considered an established risk factor for MBC, studies have shown increased incidence among obese individuals. With this observation in mind, this article highlights the correlation between the increased incidence of MBC and the current trends in obesity as a growing problem in the 21(st) century, including how this may impact treatment. With MBC becoming more prominent we put forward the notion that, not only is obesity a risk factor for MBC, but that increasing obesity trends are a contributing factor to its increased incidence.

[PMID: 26171401 PMCID: PMC4480938 DOI: 10.1155/2015/678756] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2015] [Accepted: 06/08/2015] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Background. To evaluate whether insulin use was predictive for mortality from breast cancer in Taiwanese women with diabetes mellitus. Methods. A total of 48,880 diabetic women were followed up to determine the mortality from breast cancer during 1995-2006. Cox models were used, considering the following independent variables: age, sex, diabetes type, diabetes duration, body mass index, smoking, insulin use, and area of residence. Insulin use was also considered for its duration of use at cutoffs of 3 years and 5 years. Results. Age was a significant predictor in all analyses. The multivariable-adjusted hazard ratio (95% confidence interval, P value) for insulin use without considering the duration of use was not statistically significant (1.339 [0.782-2.293, P = 0.2878]). Compared with nonusers, insulin users showed the following adjusted hazard ratios for insulin use <3 years, ≥3 years, <5 years, and ≥5 years: 0.567 (0.179-1.791, P = 0.3333), 2.006 (1.102-3.653, P = 0.0228), 1.045 (0.505-2.162, P = 0.9048), and 1.899 (0.934-3.860, P = 0.0763). Conclusions. Insulin use (mainly human insulin) for ≥3 years may be associated with a higher risk of breast cancer mortality.
