Obesity-related cancer is a research area that explores the link between obesity and an increased risk of developing certain types of cancer. Numerous studies have shown that obesity is associated with a higher likelihood of developing cancers such as breast, colorectal, prostate, liver, and kidney cancer, among others. The mechanisms behind this association are not fully understood, but it is believed that factors such as chronic inflammation, insulin resistance, and hormonal imbalances may contribute to the increased risk. Research in this area aims to further understand the underlying mechanisms and develop strategies for prevention and treatment of obesity-related cancers.
