Obesity is a modifiable risk factor in breast cancer patients and is predictive of disease outcomes in early‐onset breast cancer survivors. The purpose of this review is to summarize the current evidence in the association between early‐onset breast cancer and obesity, specifically in African‐American women. Reviewing the molecular mechanisms and social determinants of disease in this population can provide a foundation for future interventions in prevention, detection, and treatment aiming at improving outcomes for young breast cancer patients.
