The World Cancer Research Fund has identified 12 different types of cancer that can be attributed to being overweight/obese. On Thursday they released their “Continuous Update Project “: Diet, Nutrition, Physical Activity and Cancer: A Global Perspective.
This report was given at the European Congress on Obesity in Vienna. The report showed how being overweight/obese can be attributed to the development of multiple types of cancer.
These cancers include:
- Liver cancer
- Ovarian cancer
- Advanced prostate cancer
- Stomach cancer
- Mouth and throat cancer
- Bowel cancer
- Postmenopausal breast cancer
- Gallbladder cancer
- Kidney cancer
- Esophagus cancer
- Pancreatic cancer
- Cancer of the womb
There are many reasons why being overweight/obese can be linked to cancer. Fat can cause a multitude of hormonal cancers such as endometrial cancer and breast cancer. Extra body weight can also cause a long-term state of inflammation and this can cause a spike in insulin which can cause various cancers to develop. Being overweight can also cause a person not to be physically active and this has also been shown to be linked to cancer development.
Other research that was presented at the European Congress on obesity revealed that undergoing bariatric surgery was related to 61% decrease in developing malignant melanoma which is one of the most common types of cancer in New Zealand. These reports present us with a strong link to being overweight/obese and developing some type of cancer.
