Obesity is not simply excess weight—it is a metabolic and inflammatory state that can reshape cancer biology.

Adipose tissue alters hormones, insulin signaling, inflammatory cytokines, and immune responses, creating conditions that favor tumor development.

Evidence now links obesity with cancers of the breast, colon, endometrium, pancreas, liver, kidney, and esophagus.

Understanding these mechanisms opens the door to precision prevention strategies, from weight management to metabolic therapies.

The message from translational science is clear: metabolism and malignancy are deeply intertwined.
