Triglyceride-Glucose Index: A Candidate Prognostic Marker in HR-Positive/HER2-Negative Metastatic Breast Cancer Patients Treated With CDK4/6 Inhibitors

Although cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitors (CDK 4/6i) are a vital part of the treatment of hormone receptor (HR)-positive/HER-2-negative metastatic breast cancer (BC), individuals have different sensitivities to CDK4/6i, indicating the need for biomarkers. The fasting triglyceride glucose (TyG) index is an easily accessible surrogate marker of insulin resistance (IR). Herein, we investigated the prognostic significance of the fasting triglyceride glucose (TyG) index in HR+/HER2- metastatic BC patients treated with CDK4/6i plus endocrine therapy (ET).
