Fig. 2. The impact of obesity on triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) tumor development. Adipocytes secrete free fatty acids (FFA) toward TNBC cells, and both TNBC cells and stromal cells are influenced by FFA. TNBC cells respond to these signals by releasing cytokines and growth factors, acting in tandem with stromal cells to promote TNBC tumor progression.
