Abstract	e11001 Background: Overweight at the time of EBC diagnosis has been linked frequently to poorer survival in most studies and some evidence suggests that women who gain weight after breast cancer diagnosis are at increased risk of cancer recurrence and death. Most previous studies on this topic have relied on retrospective chart reviews. The aim of this prospective, observational, single-center study is to determine whether weight at diagnosis and weight gain after EBC treatment can be predictive of BC recurrence. Methods: From December 1990 to January 2012, the study included atotal of 311 EBC patients (stage I-IIIa).We assessed weight and body mass index (BMI=kg/m2) at baseline (≤ 1 month after surgery) and 24 months after completion of treatment (chemotherapy ± radiotherapy). The chi square test (X2) was conducted to determine if a significant correlation exists between BC recurrence and 3 categories of BMI at diagnosis (lean weight: BMI 25) and BC recurrence and ...
