Most women gain weight after diagnosis of breast cancer. Being overweight or obese, and weight gain after diagnosis, are associated with a worse prognosis and greater risk of developing comorbid conditions. Addressing determinants of weight change including prevention of weight gain and sarcopenia is an important topic of future research on breast cancer survival.
