1 Observational study on the prognostic value of testosterone and adiposity in postmenopausal estrogen receptor positive breast cancer patients. Testosterone estrogen receptor 1 Homo sapiens
2 CONCLUSIONS: In ER-positive postmenopausal breast cancer patients, high testosterone levels are associated with worse prognosis in normal-weight and overweight women, whereas in obese seems to be associated with a better outcome. Testosterone estrogen receptor 1 Homo sapiens
3 Although the results require further validation, they suggest that assessment of circulating testosterone and BMI could help to identify postmenopausal ER-positive patients at higher risk of relapse and potentially open new therapeutic strategies. Testosterone estrogen receptor 1 Homo sapiens
