Introduction: Breast Cancer is the most common cancer in women; overweight and obesity have been considered risk factors for developing it. In Mexico, it is the leading cause of cancer death in women. Objective: to analyze the relationship between breast cancer stage and Body Mass Index. Materials and methods: an analytical, retrospective, and correlational study was conducted. 1,181 medical records of women diagnosed with breast cancer who attended for consultations during 2024 were analyzed. Results: No linear correlation was found between BMI and the pathological stage of breast cancer. Conclusions: the results differ from those of many previous studies; further analysis is recommended, considering other confounding variables, such as age at diagnosis or menopausal status.
