The impact of BMI on therapeutic response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in patients with BC remains inconclusive. This study seeks to evaluate the effect of BMI on treatment response in the BC population undergoing NAC via a meta-analysis, thereby providing evidence-based support for clinical decision-making.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library were thoroughly searched until July 29, 2024.

The meta-analysis revealed that in contrast to patients with a normal or low BMI, those who were overweight or obese had a significantly reduced pathlological complete response (pCR) rate (OR: 0.79, p = 0.040). The underweight cohort demonstrated a higher pCR rate in comparison to those with normal BMI (OR: 1.56, p=0.015). Moreover, overweight and obese cohorts displayed a lower pCR rate in contrast to those having normal BMI (OR: 0.83, p &lt; 0.0001).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study indicates that overweight and obese patients tend to exhibit a reduced pCR, highlighting the need for standardized BMI definitions.
