Obesity and Cancer Risk

Obesity is already linked to diabetes & heart disease. A recent study showed that breast cancer patients who are obese have a greater risk that their cancer will return.
Dr. Joseph Sparano of the Montefiore Einstein Center for Cancer Care is author of a new study that observed outcomes of patients with breast cancer. For women receiving the most up-to-date treatment, being obese increased the risk of recurrence by 24% & death by 37%. The increased risk was limited to women whose tumors were fueled by estrogen. Levels of estrogen may be boosted by an enzyme in fatty tissue. The study, also, showed an increased risk in those who were simply overweight.
Having a Body Mass Index(BMI) of 25 to 29.9 is indicative of being overweight, while those with a BMI of 30 or more indicates obesity.
It's not just recurrence of breast cancer that has been linked to being overweight/obese. The odds of getting cancers increase in the following: Esophagus Pancreas Colon & Rectum Breast Kidney Endometrium(Uterus) Thyroid Gallbladder
