Fat fractions were calculated in different molecular subtypes of breast cancer based on ER, PR and Her2neu status. It was demonstrated that lipid content is associated with hormone receptor status of breast cancer patients. Our results showed a significant increase in fat fraction of ER-/PR- and Her2neu+ than ER+/PR+ and Her2neu- breast tumors. Highly proliferating tumors like ER-, PR- and Her2neu+ breast cancers require more fat for membrane production. The results obtained in the present study signifies that studying lipid content of different breast cancer subtypes might help in therapeutic planning of these patients.
