Exploring the Connection between Obesity, Diabetes and Breast Cancer: Defining the Role of Metabolic Oncogenesis
Received Date: Apr 01, 2023 / Published Date: Apr 28, 2023
Abstract
Metabolic oncogenesis is a relatively new field of study that explores the connections between metabolic disorders such as obesity and diabetes, and the development of cancer. In particular, researchers have focused on the relationship between obesity, diabetes, and breast cancer.
Obesity is a significant risk factor for the development of breast cancer, with studies suggesting that up to 20% of breast cancer cases may be linked to obesity. One proposed mechanism for this link is the presence of excess adipose tissue, which can promote inflammation and the release of hormones that contribute to cancer development.
