Being overweight increases the risk of cancer

Stating that excess weight affects many systems such as the cardiovascular system, digestion, respiration, and immune system, experts point out that obesity increases the risks of some cancers by affecting many hormonal systems and cell structures in our body and may trigger the development of many cancers. Experts state that 50 percent of all diagnosed female cancers and 25 percent of all male cancers are associated with obesity and obesity. Experts recommend reaching the ideal weight, eating a healthy and stable diet, and exercising systematically to reduce the risk of cancer. Üsküdar University NPİSTANBUL Brain Hospital General Surgery Specialist Op. Dr. Murat Koca drew attention to the relationship between cancer and obesity.

Excess weight affects all systems

Kiss. Dr. Murat Koca stated that overweight, obesity or obesity is becoming the most valuable health problem day by day. “In addition to the weight problem, health problems have also increased. While weight affects many systems such as the cardiovascular system, digestion, breathing and immune system, it also increased the risks of some cancers by affecting many hormonal systems and cell structures in my body. It can trigger the development of many cancers.”warned.

Obesity may increase cancer-related deaths

Noting that in many studies conducted around the world, cancers are more common in overweight and obese individuals and their results are more devastating, Op. Dr. Murat Koca, “Overweight or obesity can lead to increased deaths from cancer. The relationships between weight and cancer are complex and are not fully understood now, but environmental and nutritional disorders can trigger cancer. Of course, it should not be taken to mean that being fat/obese definitely causes cancer.”said.

Relationship between cancer types and obesity

Mentioning that the risk of cancer can be reduced by eliminating risk factors and stabilizing life, Op. Dr. Koca stated that some types of cancer are related to obesity and gave the following information:

– Some digestive system cancers: Esophagus, stomach, large intestine, pancreas, liver, gallbladder

– Breast (Postmenopause)

– Female Cancers: Ovarian, Uterine cancer.

– Thyroid

– Kidney

– Prostate

– Brain tumor ( Meningioma)

– Myeloma (MM)

Kiss. Dr. Husband, “50% of all diagnosed female cancers and 25% of all male cancers are related to obesity/obesity. More than 80% of new obesity-related cancers are seen in the age of 50 and over.”said.

Excess body fat poses valuable risks

Kiss. Dr. Murat Koca warned that multi-body fat can increase the risk and spread of cancer by increasing inflammation in the body, affecting cell nutrition, vascularization, developmental speed and cell lifespan, influencing obvious hormones in the body such as insulin, estrogen, androgen, and also the rate of cancer cell spread.

To prevent cancer risk, Op. Dr. Murat Koca made the following proposals to reduce the risk of cancer:

– First of all, we should analyze our lives and establish a clear system and stability.

– After our risk analysis, we should solve our weight issue and reach the ideal weight.

– We should reduce the fat around the waist

– We should stay away from unhealthy food and unhealthy diet

– Not only the person, but also his family should be made aware. We should provide education from childhood.

– We should increase our movement for health and do regular training.
