INTRODUCTION
Several research studies have identified a positive correlation between obesity and specific receptor statuses in breast cancer, including ER-positive, PR-positive, and HER2-positive breast cancers. However, triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) in particular has not been studied in relation to body mass index (BMI), which suggests that an analysis of triple-negative breast cancer and its relation to obesity is warranted. This study aims to analyze the association between triple-negative breast cancer and BMI through a retrospective analysis in order to further guide patient counseling about TNBC risk factors.

INTRODUCTION
Women who carry BRCA1/2 mutations are at significantly increased risk of breast, ovarian, pancreatic and other cancer. Little is known regarding the use of dietary supplements among women harboring BRCA1/2 mutations. This study aims to characterize the utilization of and attitudes toward dietary supplement use in women who carry BRCA1/2 mutations.

INTRODUCTION
Breast cancer is currently the most common cancer by incidence among women in the United States with high mortality. Compared to other specific types, triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is considered to be an aggressive cancer with poor prognosis. Hence, it is important to study the risk factors associated with it. Smoking has been implicated in many cancers, including breast cancer. However, there is no evidence in literature that has shown a relationship between smoking and a specific type of breast cancer. The goal of this study is to analyze the relationship between smoking and TNBC so that we may …
