"Obesity significantly worsens breast cancer prognosis, including response to therapy and survival, data from a large Danish study showed.Guess that is one way to get rid of some baggage for the new year.
Compared to normal-weight breast cancer patients, obese patients had as much as a 38% greater risk of breast cancer mortality 10 years after diagnosis. Obesity increased the risk of distant metastasis by almost 50%.
Normal-weight women also were as much as 77% more likely to benefit from adjuvant systemic therapy for breast cancer."
Seems like a rough one to me, though.
