- A study explored the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and overall survival (OS) in patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC), finding that higher BMI may lead to better survival outcomes.
- Out of 1,279 patients analyzed from the SWOG-1216 trial, survival rates increased with higher BMI categories, with the median OS being longest in the obese group at 6.8 years.
- The analysis suggests that these findings, indicating a lower risk of death among patients with higher BMI, need further validation in additional clinical trials.
