Abstract
Background: Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cancer among women. Insulin resistance is thought to be a main factor involved in the pathogenesis of BC. Indeed, women with insulin resistance have been reported to have the highest incidence of BC. The main aim of our study was to investigate if insulin resistance, measured through Homeostasis Model Assessment (HOMA-IR) is associated to nuclear proliferation marker Ki-67 in BC, and compare the adherence to Mediterranean Diet (MD) in BC patients and healthy women.
