Abstract 2777: DEXA measures of body fat percentage and relation to acute phase proteins among breast cancer survivors

C-reactive protein (CRP) and serum amyloid A (SAA) are nonspecific acute phase proteins associated with chronic inflammation. Elevated CRP and SAA levels have been positively associated with obesity and the development and progression of a variety of diseases including breast cancer. The purpose of the current analysis was to examine the associations between body fat percentage as measured by dual energy x-ray absorptiometer (DEXA) and CRP and...
