For over two decades, oncologists have had a hunch that fat spells disaster but they had no real evidence. Later based on various studies it has been proved that obesity has nailed as a culprit aiding and abetting cancer and also figures show that there is an increased cancer-risk of 34 to 59 percent in the obese.
Excess estrogen can result in endometrial and breast cancer. Fat cells also result in high insulin-like growth factors. Fat cells produce chemicals that cause inflammation; and an out-of-control inflammatory response may turn into a cancerous response.
Basically, the key cause seems to be cell growth and cell multiplication getting out of control. Fatty tissue seems to produce chemicals that can affect the delicate balance of the immune system whose role is to control cell multiplication, cell differentiation and cell death. Another factor that researchers pointed out is that there seems to be a global immune impairment in the obese. So it is clear that fat increases your cancer risk.
