Key result
Mammary and periprostatic adipose tissues exhibit distinctive features in tissular organization and responses to external stimuli, affecting proximal organ function in physiological processes and cancer.
Why the study?
Mammary and periprostatic adipose tissues closely interact with proximal organs and affect their function during physiological processes and diseases such as cancer, but their distinctive features and responses to obesity need synthesis.
Highlights the distinctive features of mammary and periprostatic adipose tissues and their interaction with proximal organs in physiological processes and cancer.

May influence organ function in cancer via MAT/PPAT; extends adipose depot knowledge but leaves open causal and clinical roles.
In addition to the major subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissues (AT), other adipose depots are dispersed throughout the body and are found in close interaction with proximal organs such as mammary and periprostatic AT (MAT and PPAT respectively). These ATs have an effect on proximal organ function during physiological processes and diseases such as cancer. We highlighted here some of their most distinctive features in terms of tissular organization and responses to external stimuli and discussed how obesity affects them based on our current knowledge.
