Overweight is associated to a better prognosis in metastatic colorectal cancer: A pooled analysis of FFCD trials

“…[1][2][3][4] Cancer patients with excess weight may also have a worse overall prognosis compared to patients with normal Body Mass Index (BMI), [5][6][7][8][9][10][11] and some studies have suggested that excess weight may be related to a worse response to conventional therapies, [12][13][14] although this has not always been confirmed. 6,[15][16][17][18] A recent report has suggested that there is a paradoxical effect of obesity on immunotherapy-treated cancer, because there is an improved antitumor efficacy after checkpoint blockade. 19 The authors suggested that this might be related to a direct targeting of some of the pathways activated in obesity.…”

“…This association is strong and has been shown in multiple cohort studies (Murphy et al, 2000;Jochem and Leitzmann, 2016). Nevertheless, although higher BMI is associated with higher CRC risk, the survival rate of these patients tends to be better than patients with lower BMI (Aparicio et al, 2018;Shahjehan et al, 2018;Tran et al, 2018). Nevertheless, studies show that BMI did not affect any chemotherapy-based side effects or benefit (Meyerhardt et al, 2003;Sinicrope et al, 2013).…”
