Abstract

The purpose of our study is to analyze the association between the increased bodyweight, by using the body mass index (BMI), and the histopathology of breast cancer (size of tumor, grade, hormone receptors, her2, lymph nodes) in postmenopausal women. In this retrospective study, 99 patients were examined, who were operated in our clinic who suffer from breast cancer from 12/2012 to 12/2014. ER and PR tumors were categorized as positive if 1% of the nuclei was stained. HER2 tumors were categorized as positive if ›10% of the nuclei was stained.
