ABSTRACT: Objective
To investigate the relationship between obesity and disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) of triple-negative breast cancer.Methods
Citations were searched in PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science. Random effect model meta-analysis was conducted by using Revman software version 5.0, and publication bias was evaluated by creating Egger regression with STATA software version 12.Results
Nine studies (4412 patients) were included for DFS meta-analysis, 8 studies (4392 patients) include for OS meta-analysis. There were no statistical significances between obesity with DFS (P?=?.60) and OS (P?=?.71) in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients.Conclusion
Obesity has no impact on DFS and OS in patients with TNBC.
