Article Synopsis
- Obesity is linked to higher rates of breast cancer incidence, recurrence, and death, with specific cells in fat tissue (adipocytes and ASCs) contributing to early cancer progression.
- Researchers created models of human breast tumors with fat tissue showing various changes due to obesity to study how cancer cells escape into circulation.
- The study found that both lean and obese fat cells equally sped up the escape of breast cancer cells, indicating that the presence of these fat cells, regardless of obesity, enhances cancer cell mobility.
