This book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date review of the
relationship between obesity and cancer. It opens with a global
perspective on obesity and cancer incidence, followed by in-depth
discussions of those cancers for which we have sufficient evidence
of a causal relationship with obesity. It addresses topics such as
the effects of obesity on cancer incidence and cancer survival, the
effects of weight gain and weight loss in adulthood on cancer risk,
the effects of childhood and adolescent obesity, and the role of
body fat distribution in cancer risk. Individual chapters discuss
potential pathways for the observed associations and explore
possible mechanisms from both an epidemiological and an
experimental perspective. It concludes with a population
perspective on the cancer risk that is attributable to obesity and
is thus potentially avoidable. This book is of particular value to
researchers and epidemiologists and is also of interest to public
health workers and clinicians.
