Biological mechanisms linking obesity and cancer risk: new perspectives.

Annual review of medicine - 1 Jan 2010

Roberts Darren L, Dive Caroline, Renehan Andrew G

Abstract excerpt

Body mass index, as an approximation of body adiposity, is associated with increased risk of several common and less common malignancies in a sex- and site-specific manner. These findings implicate sex- and cancer site-specific biological mechanisms underpinning these associations, and it is unlikely that there is a "one system fits all" mechanism. Three main candidate systems have been proposed-insulin and the...
