Increase the risk of breast cancer?
Besides skin cancer, breast cancer is women’s most frequent malignous tumors and represents the second leading cause of cancer death among women, after lung cancer. More than 200,000 people are diagnosed and another roughly 40,000 die from it each year, according to the American Cancer Society and globally more than 1.2 million men and women develop breast cancer every year.
The risk of developing breast cancer is very different from country to country and from individual and increase with age. As the appearance of breast cancer is alarmingly increasing, doctors, health care specialists and researchers try to do everything possible to prevent the disease. A list of risk factors has been put together and lately a new question is bothering researchers. Is it possible, that weight gain has to be included to this list?

Some researchers have long suspected that weight in excess may affect breast cancer risk, because fat tissue produces the hormone estrogen, and estrogen plays a role in the growth of some breast cancers. Several studies are made upon this question and thousands of researchers seek the pros and cons of this theory.
