Introduction: Identifying Ki67, a monoclonal antibody that recognizes proliferating cells, is important for defining the level of proliferative activity among patients with breast cancer. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the correlation between Ki67's expression and histopathological grade, tumor size, disease-free survival (DFS), and overall survival (OS) among breast cancer patients.

Methods: Our retrospective cohort study involved examining 114 patients with breast cancer at our institution from January 2018 to December 2019.

Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates the link between the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and breast cancer risk among individuals aged 19 and older in Indonesia, using a case-control design.
  • The findings showed that the TyG index was significantly higher in breast cancer patients compared to controls, with higher quartiles of the TyG index indicating increased odds of developing breast cancer.
  • The study concluded that a higher TyG index is associated with breast cancer risk in a nonlinear manner, along with other factors like smoking and contraceptive use.
