The Effects of Obesity and Cancer Risk
That seems to be the case. An increasing number of studies are finding that overweight and obese people are more likely to develop cancer of various kinds. At least half a dozen types of cancer are believed to be directly affected by weight.
The Effects of Weight Loss
If excess weight increases the risk of cancer, can losing weight reduce the risk? Preliminary research suggests that it might. At least two large, published studies have found that people who undergo gastric bypass surgery are significantly less likely to develop cancer or die from it than severely obese people who don't undergo the weight-loss procedure.
