Recent research done by U.S. scientists suggested for the first time that a woman’s weight could affect the course of the disease. And in here, the disease refers to Ovarian Cancer.
The research was reportedly the first to identify weight as an independent factor in ovarian cancer disease progression and overall survival, suggesting that there is an element in the fat tissue itself that influences the outcome of this disease in obese women.
The U.S. and northern Europe have the highest ovarian cancer rates in the world, but fewer people understand that being overweight affects their chances of surviving cancer.
