Cancer and Obesity


Excess fat in the body can have harmful effects, such as the production of hormones and growth factors that affect cell function. Obese people often develop low levels of chronic inflammation, which can cause polymer damage that leads to cancer over time. People who are overweight or obese are more likely than people of normal weight to develop unique diseases or disorders that are associated with or cause chronic natural inflammation, which is a risk factor for certain types of cancer.  For example, chronic spontaneous inflammation induced by reflux of the esophagus or Barrett's esophagus may be an explanation for adenocarcinoma of the muscular structure. Obesity can be a risk issue for gallstones, a condition characterized by chronic cystitis, and a history of gallstones can increase the risk of bladder cancer.

The relationship between obesity and cancer risk is clear. Studies have shown that excess body fat increases the risk of several cancers, including colon cancer, postmenopausal breast cancer, uterine cancer, esophageal cancer, kidney cancer, and pancreatic cancer. What is less clear is how obesity increases this risk. Experts believe that this is mainly due to inflammation caused by visceral fat (the fat that surrounds important organs).
