There is growing evidence that obesity is a risk factor of cancer incidence and mortality.
Hence, the identification of the mechanistic links between obesity and cancer progression is …

Background Increasing evidence indicates that obesity is associated with tumor
development and progression. Leptin is an adipocyte-related hormone with a key role in …

Leptin is an obesity-associated adipokine that is known to regulate energy metabolism and
reproduction and to control appetite via the leptin receptor. Recent work has identified …

Significant correlations between obesity and incidence of various cancers have been
reported. Obesity, considered a mild inflammatory process, is characterized by a high level …

Over the past decades, obesity has grown to epidemic proportions worldwide. It has been
associated with an increased risk for different types of cancer. In addition, obesity has been …

It is well established that obesity increases the incidence and worsens the prognosis of
women's cancer. For breast cancer, women with obesity exhibit more than a twofold …

Obesity, defined as the abnormal or excessive expansion of white adipose tissue, has
reached pandemic proportions and is recognized as an important health concern since it is …

Obesity confers risks to cancer development and progression but the mechanisms
underlying these risks remain unclear. In this study, we identify a role for the obesity cytokine …

Adipose-tissue-derived signaling molecules, including the adipokines, are emerging as key
candidate molecules that link obesity with cancer. Peritumoral, stromal, adipose tissue and …

Obesity represents a risk factor for certain types of cancer. Leptin, a hormone predominantly
produced by adipocytes, is elevated in the obese state. In the context of breast cancer, leptin …
