Metabolic Syndrome and Breast Cancer Molecular Subtypes: An Observational Patient Study.

Background: Breast cancer molecular subtypes share various prognostic profiles, and luminal A molecular subtypes have a better prognosis compared with other molecular subtypes. However, whether metabolic syndrome or individual risk factors of metabolic syndrome influence on the development of molecular subtype remains elusive. We aimed to assess the association between metabolic syndrome risk factors and breast cancer molecular subtypes among patients with metabolic syndrome in a clinical setting.
