Forskare vid Lunds universitet visar i en studie att kraftig övervikt, obesitas, ökar risken för fler cancerformer än vad man tidigare känt till. Resultaten visar på samband mellan obesitas och risken att utveckla 31 olika cancerformer eller subgrupper till cancerdiagnoser. Kraftig övervikt, även kallat fetma eller obesitas, är en kronisk sjukdom som ofta kräver långsiktig behandling och som även
