Link Between Estimated Glucose Disposal Rate and Overall as well as Breast Cancer-Specific Mortality in Survivors: A Population-Based Analysis in the United States
To investigate the association between estimated glucose disposal rate (eGDR) and breast cancer mortality among breast cancer survivors in the U.S.
Key Findings:
Lower eGDR is associated with higher breast cancer prevalence in adult women.
Among breast cancer survivors, lower eGDR correlates with increased risk of overall mortality (ACM) and breast cancer-specific mortality (BCSM).
Interpretation:
The findings suggest that eGDR may serve as a significant risk factor for breast cancer mortality, highlighting the importance of metabolic health in breast cancer outcomes.
Limitations:
The study is observational and cannot establish causality.
Reliance on self-reported data for breast cancer diagnosis may introduce bias.
eGDR may not capture all metabolic factors influencing breast cancer outcomes.
The observational nature of the study limits the ability to draw definitive conclusions.
Conclusion:
This study underscores the potential of eGDR as a non-invasive marker for identifying high-risk breast cancer survivors, which could inform targeted interventions to improve survival outcomes and guide public health strategies.
