RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN OBESITY AND BREAST CANCER
Keywords:
obesity, cancer, breast cancer, risk factorAbstract
Obesity is a growing clinical condition around the world, considered a risk factor for numerous diseases such as hypertension, myocardial infarction, diabetes, and cancer. Among the neoplasms related to overweight, breast cancer stands out. Therefore, the objective of this review is to elucidate the impact of obesity on the most prevalent cancer among women, either as a direct risk factor for its onset or as a determinant of survival.
