Why the study?
Whether serum lipids affect breast cancer prognosis remains controversial and unstudied across multiple survival outcomes.
Do high levels of serum lipids worsen overall survival in female patients with breast cancer?
Do high levels of serum lipids worsen overall survival in female patients with breast cancer?
High levels of LDL-C, ApoE, and ApoB are associated with poorer overall survival in breast cancer patients, whereas high TC and dyslipidemia negatively impact disease-free survival, suggesting lipid management may be relevant for prognosis.
Should not yet change lipid management in BC; leaves open whether lipid-lowering improves survival.
