TEHRAN (FNA)- Scientists found that physicians can obtain valuable information about the breast cancer risk through assessing the resistance of their patients to insulin.

The researchers found a higher prevalence of metabolic syndrome such as insulin resistance among women affected by breast cancer in postmenopause compared to healthy women.

In the new study the scientists confirm their previous findings and expand on by zooming in the contribution of insulin resistance.
