Integrated analysis reveals the impact of obesity on triple-negative breast cancer

Cancer Letters

Integrated multi-omics analysis in a large single-centre TNBC cohort with mechanistic mouse experiments and supportive clinical trial data, but observational design, no randomized comparator, and reliance on retrospective trial analysis limit definitive claims about causation or clinical practice change.

Nutritional Status of Patients with Cancer During Oncological Treatment—A Multicenter Cross-Sectional Study

Nutrients

Cross-sectional survey of nutritional status in cancer patients using validated screening tools; descriptive prevalence findings without a comparator group, control arm, or analytical testing of interventions.

Effect of BMI on efficacy of androgen receptor pathway inhibitors in patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer

Journal of Oncology Pharmacy Practice

Retrospective cohort study of 330 patients reporting an obesity paradox in mHSPC; confirms known associations but BMI did not retain independent significance in multivariate analysis, limiting practice implications.

Circulatory and other-cause mortality after neoadjuvant versus adjuvant chemotherapy in women with stage II–III breast cancer

Biomolecules and Biomedicine

A large, well-designed retrospective cohort study with robust methods (inverse-probability weighting, competing-risks analysis) that confirms the absence of a clinically meaningful difference in circulatory mortality between treatment sequences, with narrow confidence intervals crossing the null.

Beyond Weight Loss: A Comprehensive Review of Integrated Pharmacotherapy and Metabolic Bariatric Surgery in Endometrial Cancer Care

Medicina

A narrative review synthesizing evidence on metabolic interventions for endometrial cancer in obesity, offering clinical recommendations but explicitly acknowledging gaps in prospective evidence for oncologic outcomes.

Obesity at antiretroviral therapy initiation and long-term risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer, or death in people with HIV in Italy: a prospective cohort study

Eclinicalmedicine

Prospective cohort study with adequate sample size and hard clinical outcomes (CVD, cancer, death), but unadjusted effect is attenuated to borderline significance after adjustment (aHR 1.28, 95% CI 0.98–1.67, p=0.073), limiting definitive causal inference.

Hormone Receptor Status Among Breast Cancer Patients at the University of Gondar Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Northwest Ethiopia

Scientific Reports

Single-centre cross-sectional descriptive study of hormone receptor prevalence in a resource-limited setting; establishes local epidemiology but lacks comparison group, prospective outcome data, or causal inference.

Perspectives on the bioenergetic dysregulation in insulin-resistant patients comorbid with cancer

World Journal of Translational Medicine

A perspective article proposing mechanistic relationships between insulin resistance, DPP4, and mitochondrial dysfunction in cancer, without presenting primary empirical data or clinical trials to test the hypothesis.
