Recurrence of carcinoma of the breast after radical mastectomy was associated with preoperative body wt. among patients observed for up to 24 yr. Patients who had no axillary lymph node metastases and weighed 130 lb or less had an accumulative recurrence free survival superior to that of heavier patients. The advantage was unassociated with significant differences in menopausal status, clinical stage or tumor size. High fat diet and large body mass were linked epidemiologically with high risk for breast cancer. Whatever biologic mechanisms are involved may also promote growth of residual tumor after potentially curative surgery. Diet and weight reduction may represent empirical means for improving the prognosis of heavy individuals with early stages of breast cancer.
