Excess weight can cause of breast cancer: If a woman is overweight then it can also be the cause of breast cancer. This has been revealed in a new study.

Excess weight and breast cancer.
Obesity with heart disease is more dangerous
The study was published in the journal ‘Cancer’ of the American Cancer Society. According to the study, women whose body mass index (BMI) is high, the risk of breast cancer is already high. Type-2 diabetes has not seen any significant impact on this danger, that is, more BMI in women with diabetes and without diabetes increases the risk of breast cancer equally. This means that when the cycle of periods ends in women and that woman falls prey to obesity and heart disease by that time, then the risk of breast cancer in such women increases manifold.
International agency for research on cancer researcher Hanz Fesleing said that the results of this study can help improve the breast cancer screening program. He suggested that breast cancer prevention should be done by including women with heart disease in future weight loss trials. Researchers analyzed the data of the European Prospective Investigation Inteu Cancer and Nutrition and UK Biobank’s 168,547 menopause women. These women neither had type-2 diabetes nor heart disease when they started study. Breast cancer was found in women after 6,793 menopause after a follow-up of about 10-11 years. The study also revealed that excess weight and heart disease together can cause 153 additional breast cancer in 100,000 people every year. Earlier researches have proved that obesity increases the risk of 12 types of cancer such as uterus, kidney, liver and colorectal cancer. At the same time, in a study published in the journal ‘Nature Communications’ recently, it was found that overweight women have more chances of getting big tumors and advanced stage breast cancer.
