“…Less precision in our designation of metabolic syndrome in combination with low rates of obesity and metabolic syndrome overall in this cohort could account for differences in our findings. A similar analysis of Oncotype RS in a cohort of 269 patients with breast cancer also found that post-menopausal patients had higher RS and lower PR expression than pre-menopausal patients, which is consistent with the higher rates of PR negativity seen in our post-menopausal cohort [23]. However, they found that higher BMI was associated with higher RS, whereas we found the opposite.…”

“…Thus, a woman over 50 is less likely to have intermediate RS than low RS, but she is more likely to have high RS than low RS. For the menopausal status, the association was not significant with RS, as showed by several studies [33,36], with the exception of the study by Picardo and al [34]. Similar to age, the interpretation of the association between menopausal status and RS remains challenging.…”

“…In regard to the BMI, our results are in agreement with various studies that did not show an association between RS and BMI [ 32 , 33 ]. However, one study has found RS to be higher in overweight patients with node-negative BC [ 34 ]. In addition, in our study, the variable "age" adjusted for other covariates was not significantly associated with RS, which seems to be consistent with several studies [ 17 , 19 , 20 ], even though others have reported an association [ 18 , 35 ].…”
