Different molecular subtype and prognostic factors are linked to high body mass index (BMI) and affects overall and progression-free survival. Methods All 950 breast cancer patients presented to kasr Alainy oncology center (NEMROCK) from 2004 - 2014 at Al kasr alainy oncology center (NEMROCK) were followed up with a median period of 4.2years till Dec 2018. The body mass index (BMI) was assessed at diagnosis in 760 female patients. Disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) were assessed and compared between three groups: non-obese (BMI 40). Results The mean age was 50.1 years with Obesity in 63.29% of cases (23.82% and 39.47% in obese and severely obese respectively). Significant correlations between non-obese and severely obese with age (52 vs.48 years, p Conclusions severe obesity (BMI >40) have worse overall survival with no impact on disease free survival.
