Abstract: Breast cancer has overtaken lung cancer as the most common malignancy in women. Although the early diagnostic rate has continuously improved, recurrence and metastasis remain a problem to be solved. Therefore, scientists should search for effective prognostic markers for breast cancer patients and adopt individualized programs for different patients. Studies have shown that cancer prognosis, to a certain extent, is related to the nutrition inflammation index. Preoperative prognostic nutritional index (PNI) and controlled nutritional status (CONUT) are indicators that comprehensively reflect the nutritional level and inflammatory state of patients, respectively. Different from other cancers, the incidence of breast cancer is related to nutritional status, and an extremely high or low score is not conducive to the prognosis of breast cancer patients. This paper reviews the research progress of PNI and CONUT in breast cancer.
