This research aims to evaluate how obesity affects tumor characteristics and survival in early-stage breast cancer patients.
Data from patients treated between January 2005 and December 2023 were analyzed retrospectively.
Statistical analyses included chi-squared tests, ANOVA, and univariate regression analyses.
The study focused on surgical outcomes, tumor size, and survival rates.
55.6% of patients were normal weight, while 19% had obesity (BMI > 30).
Obesity was associated with larger tumor sizes and aggressive molecular subtypes in premenopausal women.
Survival rates did not significantly differ across BMI categories.

Implication

Analysis reveals obesity correlates with larger tumors and aggressive molecular subtypes in early-stage breast cancer, indicating the need for targeted screening.
