Zusammenfassung

Obesity and breast cancer are two health problems that have high prevalence rates in the Western world. The incidence of both pathologies is increasing, and each of them, independently, is associated with significant morbimortality rates. But in addition, obesity and breast cancer are correlated diseases. On the one hand, excess body weight is associated with an increased risk of developing breast cancer in postmenopausal women. Once the tumor is developed, obese (pre and postmenopausal) women have an increased risk of mortality and recurrence than women with healthy weight. Furthermore, breast cancer treatment is associated with an increased probability of weight gain, and in turn, weight gain after cancer diagnosis is also associated to a poor prognosis. The current challenge is to prove by well-designed interventional studies that, after cancer diagnosis, weight loss or maintaining it within the healthy margins may increase survival.
