Weight Loss Pilot Study in Postmenopausal Breast Cancer Survivors

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Breast Cancer, Obesity, Overweight

In brief

The primary objective of this pilot study is to determine the effect of weight loss on a wide range of biomarkers associated with risk of breast cancer recurrence in overweight and obese breast cancer survivors. We hypothesized that weight loss would result in a statistically significant improvement in biomarkers associated with risk of breast cancer recurrence.
