Recently, a study in America, published in a journal of obstetrics and gynecology, said that obesity has the potential to increase the risk of various cancers. And even at risk of death for patients with cancer. Unfortunately, not many women who know and understand this. “Many women are not aware of information about being overweight and cancer risk. Related, a worrisome thing is the ferocity of the womb and endometrial cancer or cancer of the uterine lining,” said Dr. Pamela T Soliman, one of the researchers from the Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. “It’s supposed to educate our patients better,” he added. Aacording to the researchers, women who are overweight (overweight) is more at risk four times greater in cancer cervix. While women at risk of obesity than six-fold, they are also high potential of breast cancer and colon cancer Research conducted with his colleague Dr Pamela involve women educated, university graduate and specialist programs. Around 1545 participants were selected, 28 percent of them have the ideal body weight, 24 percent of excess weight (overweight), and 45 percent obese. From the results of research notes that only 42 percent of participants who know that obesity can increase the risk of endometrial cancer, and 53 percent who understands that bowel cancer may be related to obesity. While participants are aware that being overweight can increase the risk of breast cancer is only about 54 percent. Responding to this, Dr Pamela confessed concerned, because about 91 percent of them are insurance participants often to check up the doctor. “In fact, patients who routinely checks on doctors were not aware that obesity can increase the risk for them to get a variety of cancers,” she said softly.
