Obesity and Cancer

Obesity and Cancer

People with obesity have chronic low-level or acute unresolved inflammation, that is associated with increased cancer risk. Fat cells attack immune cells to body tissues that release chemicals that cause long-lived inflammation. this may raise the chance of many diseases together with cancer. one of the strongest links between obesity and cancer is an increased risk of breast and uterus cancers in women who are obese after the menopause, and this relates to higher estrogen levels. Overweight people usually have increased levels of insulin and insulin-like growth factor-1 which can cause the development of certain tumors.
