Reversing the Genomic, Epigenetic, and Triple-Negative Breast Cancer–Enhancing Effects of Obesity

Abstract

Obesity is an established risk and progression factor for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Given rising global rates of obesity and TNBC, strategies to reduce the burden of obesity-driven TNBC are urgently needed. We report the genomic, epigenetic, and procancer effects of obesity are reversible by various calorie restriction regimens.
