🚨PUBLISHED🚨

In an extensive effort to chart the impact of living with metabolic syndrome among BC survivors we conducted a large meta-analysis of >42,000 patients.

We found that BC survivors living with metabolic syndrome had shorter DFS 📉 and increased risk of….
Metabolic syndrome increases the risk for breast cancer events!

🚨 A meta-analysis reveals a 69% higher recurrence risk & 83% higher mortality risk in BC survivors with metabolic syndrome.

➡️ Is it time to prioritize metabolic health in BC care?

It's a difficult topic to discuss- weight. Hugely personal, not easy to change, but impt.

4% ⬆️ recurrence in pts w/ node + #bcsm obese vs. lean

2% ⬆️ recurrence in pts with N0 dz

📌Magnitude of effect larger among premeno.

📌ER + AND ER neg

Beautifully depicted work on obesity and risk of distant recurrence in BC pts by EBCTCG👏🏻

Across data from 147 including 200.000+ pts they demonstrated that BMI is independently associated with risk of distant recurrence regardless of treatment characteristics📈

A great start to @sabcs.bsky.social day 3 with a session on survivorship.

Intriguing data on GLP-1ra’s in adjuvant BC care❗️ As suspected by many GLP1ra’s seems to be less effective in pts treated with ET…

BWEL intervention with diet and weight loss is able to improve:
✅metabolic biomarkers
✅insulin resistance
✅ stress biomarkers
BWEL study presented by Dr. Jennifer Ligibel. Looking forward to future data with improved breast cancer outcomes. @dfcibreastonc.bsky.social #SABCS24
