    Breast cancer is the leading cancer among women, accounting for a significant proportion of cancer cases and deaths globally.

  • 2

    Insulin resistance (IR) is a critical factor in breast cancer progression and prognosis, particularly affecting patients undergoing endocrine therapy.

  • 3

    The estimated glucose disposal rate (eGDR) serves as a reliable, non-invasive marker for assessing insulin sensitivity in large epidemiological studies.

  • 4

    This study investigates the association between eGDR and breast cancer prevalence, focusing on its impact on all-cause mortality among survivors.

  • 5

    Findings aim to identify high-risk breast cancer survivors and inform targeted metabolic interventions to improve long-term survival outcomes.
