Breast Cancer Risk Reduced by Weight Lossinterest in relationship between weight and breast cancer both the risk of developing breast cancer and the risk of cancer coming back it obese is a risk factor for developing breast cancer and it's also risk factor. For a higher
There's been a lot of interest in -- relationship between weight and breast cancer both the risk of developing breast cancer and the risk of cancer coming back -- it's already developed. We know that being overweight or obese -- is a risk factor for developing breast cancer and it's also -- risk factor. For a higher risk of the cancer coming back after diagnosis and cancer related death in women have early breast cancer . We don't know exactly. How weak and breast cancer related and there's a lot of work that's been done including the study. Trying to figure out what changes when someone loses weight or what factors are higher and someone who's overweight or obese so that we can better understand how breast cancer and we are related we know that when women -- heavier they have higher levels of hormones. That are related to breast cancer developing things like. Estrogen. Testosterone. Other hormones as well as. Metabolic hormones things like insulin which is hormone involved in the development of diabetes but were increasingly finding that's also related to the risk of developing breast cancer . And the risk of cancer returning once it's developed. All of these types of hormones can be affected by -- by weight loss I think that there's really consistent evidence at this point that being -- here is linked to risk not only breast cancer . But a lot of other common cancers and common diseases and we need to find ways to help women and men in -

It's unclear why. Researchers are now examining whether it's environmental or reproductive factors -- if it's just -- we have better testing. Is it just because of screening or is it truly something in the gene that's doing. One appears the genes could be changing getting more aggressive.

general for women who are at normal -- standard risk of developing breast cancer . Official recommendations are to get an annual mammogram .
