Abstract:
Research on the relationship between obesity and breast cancer has been deepened in recent years.Obese breast cancer patients have poorer prognosis than normal-weight patients.Weight variation is correlated with relapse in breast cancer survivors.The role of adipokines in this process can not be ignored.The correlations between adipokines,estrogen,cell proliferation,angiogenesis and breast cancer prognosis are reviewed in this article.
