Determinants of Weight Gain during Adjuvant Endocrine Therapy and Association of Such Weight Gain with Recurrence in Long-Term Breast Cancer Survivors

摘要

We conducted a retrospective study of breast cancer survivors to determine risk factors for weight gain during endocrine therapy and the association of such weight gain with recurrence.BackgroundWeight gain is a negative prognostic factor in breast cancer (BC) patients. Risk factors for weight gain during adjuvant endocrine therapy (ET) and the extent to which such weight gain is associated with disease recurrence remain unclear.
