Obesity raises risk of breast cancers

Obesity raises risk of breast cancers Women who gain weight as adults face a higher lifetime risk of all types of breast cancer. A study of about 44,000 women found that the more weight a women gained, the greater the risk for all different types of breast cancer. A recent study has shown that women who have gained twenty pounds or less during their life as an adult, women who gain more than sixty pounds are almost twice as likely to have ductal type breast tumors and women are more 1.5 times more likely to have lobular types of cancers.
