Overview

Cross-sectional study reveals tamoxifen's limited effects on lipid profiles in over 160 Kurdish patients, suggesting BMI has a greater influence.

Key Points

  • Abnormal lipid profiles were more frequent in obese patients, highlighting the significant role of BMI.
  • Among patients, 56.1% had normal lipid profiles, while 32.4% exhibited elevated levels of cholesterol and triglycerides.
  • This cross-sectional study was conducted on 165 Kurdish women with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer receiving tamoxifen treatment.
  • Tamoxifen treatment duration showed minimal impact on lipid profiles, indicating that other factors may be more influential.
