Abstract in brief

The increasing rates of obesity worldwide are linked to a higher risk of developing and dying from cancer, with about 85,000 new cases yearly in the U.S. related to obesity.
Research shows that for every 5 kg/m² increase in body mass index (BMI), cancer mortality rises by 10%, and weight loss surgeries like bariatric procedures are associated with reduced cancer incidence, especially in women.
Future research needs to focus on understanding how obesity causes cancer, and testing whether lifestyle changes and weight loss can lower cancer risk through studies on mechanisms and intervention trials.]

@ajumathew_ @barttels2 I would argue obesity and poor dietary habits(processed foods, high fructose corn syrup, etc...) is an extremely high link to cancer occurrences. https://t.co/W5jSOOj9mP
