It opens with a global perspective on obesity and cancer incidence, followed by in-depth discussions of those cancers for which we have sufficient evidence of a causal relationship with obesity. It addresses topics such as the effects of obesity on cancer incidence and cancer survival, the effects of weight gain and weight loss in adulthood on cancer risk, the effects of childhood and adolescent obesity, and the role of body fat distribution in cancer risk. Individual chapters discuss potential pathways for the observed associations and explore possible mechanisms from both an epidemiological and an experimental perspective. It concludes with a population perspective on the cancer risk that is attributable to obesity and is thus potentially avoidable. This book is of particular value to researchers and epidemiologists and is also of interest to public health workers and clinicians. 410 0$aRecent Results in Cancer Research,$x0080-0015 ;$v208 606 $aOncology   606 $aCancer research 606 $aEpidemiology 606 $aOncology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H33160 606 $aCancer Research$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B11001 606 $aEpidemiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H63000 615 0$aOncology  . 615 0$aCancer research. 615 0$aEpidemiology. 615 14$aOncology. 615 24$aCancer Research. 615 24$aEpidemiology. 676 $a616.398 702 $aPischon$b Tobias$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aNimptsch$b Katharina$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910155301903321 996 $aObesity and Cancer$92272596 997 $aUNINA
