The relationship between obesity and breast cancer

During Breast Cancer Awareness Pink Ribbon Month, it’s a good time to remember the connection between obesity and this type of cancer.

Several studies have proven that overweight and obesity are directly associated with cardiovascular, rheumatological, neurological diseases and cancer, especially breast cancer. Already classified not as an epidemic, but as a global pandemic.

The World Health Organization it is estimated that more than 1.9 billion people worldwide are overweight, of which 650 million are classified as obese.

Panama presents very high figures, comparable to countries where obesity is a problem, such as the United States. That is, 35% of the population is overweight, of which 35% is classified as obese.

By 2030, it is predicted that 57% of the world’s population will be obese or overweight.

“Obesity will replace tobacco as a modifiable factor causing death, stroke, cancer, degenerative diseases, cardiovascular problems,” explained Dr. Laura García Estévez, oncologist, head of the breast tumor division at MD Anderson Cancer Center Madrid, Spain.

He adds: “The worst thing is that people are not aware of it obesity is as bad as it gets“They understand that tobacco is harmful, but obesity or alcohol, not so much.”

“Not only on our continent or in Europe, in Chinese breast cancer is growing rapidly, as their women adopt Western eating habits and abandon their own. Just like in Africa, where obesity levels have increased exponentially,” said the specialist during a scientific conference at Paitilla Hospital.

To make?

“Exercise is a safe behavior to avoid problems in the future”he showed.

“If you are overweight in premenopause, you are very likely to be overweight in menopause and your risk will increase.”

Get a mammogram from 40 years and in risky cases from 35.

If necessary, supplement with ultrasound, MRI or biopsy.

It’s breast cancer highly curableif it is detected in time and treatment is started.
