IGF-1 Interacted With Obesity in Prognosis Prediction in HER2-Positive Breast Cancer Patients.

ABSTRACT: Purpose: Dysmetabolism and high circulating insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) would increase breast cancer risk, but its association with survival in HER2+ breast cancer patients has not been well-studied. Herein, we aim to evaluate the prognostic value of IGF-1 and metabolic abnormalities in HER2+ population. Patients and Methods: HER2+ breast cancer patients treated in Ruijin Hospital between November 2012 and June 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. Median value of circulating IGF-1 was adopted to classify low or high IGF-1 group. Metabolic syndrome (MetS) was defined using AHA/NHLBI criteria. Overweight was defined by body mass index (BMI) ≥ 24.0 kg/m2 in Chinese population. Results: Overall, 679 patients were included and 209 had synchronous MetS. High IGF-1 level was more common i
