How does being overweight increase my risk of getting cancer?
I think that obesity has always been studied in many parts of the country and world with regards to particular risk of cancer. I don't believe there has been any particular causative association between obesity and malignancy or obesity and cancer. However when looking at studies and looking back at different studies there has been a higher association between obesity and overweight associated with cancer. However there hasn't been a causal association so I can't tell you that being overweight means that you will get cancer but there are a lot more people who are overweight who have cancer.
