Purpose: Obesity has been recognized as a significant risk factor for postmenopausal breast cancer. The aim of this study is to investigate the prognostic significance of body mass index (BMI) in hormone receptor-positive, operable breast cancer. Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, 1,192 consecutive patients with curative resection of primary breast cancer were enrolled. Patients were assigned to two groups according to BMI: normal or underweight (BMI < 23.0 kg/m2) and overweight or obese (BMI ≥23.0 kg/m2). Associations among BMI and clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of patients were assessed. Results: A high BMI was significantly (P < 0.01) correlated with age, nodal stage, ALNR, ER positivity, PR positivity and menopausal status at diagnosis. Univariate analysis revealed that BMI, pathologic T stage, nodal stage, axillary lymph node ratio (ALNR) and adjuvant radiotherapy history were significantly (P < 0.05) associated with disease-free survival and overall survival, irrespective of tumour hormone receptor status. Multivariate analysis revealed BMI as an independent prognostic factor in all cases and in hormone receptor-positive cases. Conclusion: A high BMI (≥23.0 kg/m^2) is independently associated with poor prognosis in hormone receptor-positive breast cancer.
