Background: Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cancer among women. A high body-mass index (BMI) is related to increased incidence of BC with poorer prognosis. Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate the association in patients with BC between BMI at the time of diagnosis and biological characteristics, according to the menopausal status. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study comprised a total of 318 women with BC. Clinicopathological differences between normal, overweight and obese patients according to menopausal status were evaluated. Results: Premenopausal women had a significantly lower BMI than postmenopausal patients (28.7 vs. 31.5, respectively; p = 0.00001). No statistically significant association was determined between BMI and clinicopathological characteristics in either the premenopausal or the postmenopausal group (all p values are > 0.05). Conclusions: There are many conflicting results in literature on this relationship. The results of this study showed that a high BMI is not associated with worse clinicopathological characteristics in a predominantly obese population. In current medical oncology practice, BC should be evaluated on an individual patient basis and the impact of obesity on BC prognosis seems to be difficult to estimate especially in an obese population.

Abstract Purpose Laparoscopy is used in many surgical specialties. Subjective reports have suggested that performing laparoscopic surgery in patients with a high body mass index (BMI) is leading to increased prevalence of musculoskeletal symptoms in surgeons. The aim of this study was to objectively quantify the impact on surgeon upper body kinematics and dynamic workload when performing simulated laparoscopy at different BMI levels. Methods Upper body kinematics and dynamic workload of novice, intermediate and expert surgeons were calculated based on measurements from inertial measurement units positioned on upper body segments. Varying thicknesses of foam were used to simulate patient BMIs of 20, 30, 40 and 50 kg/m2 during laparoscopic training. Results Significant increases in the jerkiness, angular speed and cumulative displacement of the head, torso and upper arms were found within all experience groups when subject to the 40 and 50 kg/m2 models. Novice surgeons were found to have less controlled kinematics and larger dynamic workloads compared to the more experienced surgeons. Conclusions Our findings indicate that performing laparoscopic surgery on a high BMI model worsens upper body motion efficiency and efficacy, and increases dynamic workload, producing conditions that are more physically demanding when compared to operating on a 20 kg/m2 model. These findings also suggest that the head, torso, and upper arm segments are especially affected by high BMI models and therefore exposure to patients with high BMIs may increase the risk of musculoskeletal injury when performing laparoscopic surgery.
