Spatially Resolved Obesity-Driven Molecular Changes in Early Breast Cancer

Caption

A new study in The American Journal of Pathology has found that obesity is associated with a distinct molecular program driving the transition from early-stage, premalignant breast lesions to invasive breast cancer. The findings suggest that metabolic health could be an important factor in future risk stratification and treatment decision-making.
