Despite advances in diagnosis and treatment, breast cancer is still one of the three most common cancers in the world and a significant cause of morbidity and mortality.Lipids play a role in many basic physiological pathways in cells, from regulating cell homeostasis to energy expenditure.As in many types of cancer, changes in lipid metabolism and their relationship have been reported in breast cancer.The STARD3 gene encodes a member of the subfamily of lipid trafficking proteins.It is a sterol-binding protein that mediates the transport of cholesterol from the endoplasmic reticulum to endosomes.It has been shown that STARD3 is correlated with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) amplification since it has the same localization as HER2 in the chromosome.In this review, we aimed to emphasize that investigating lipid metabolism together with the STARD3 biomarker has great potential not only for subtype-specific strategies but also for patient-specific strategies.
