Researchers reveal why obesity makes ovarian cancer more deadly
A new study links a high body mass index (BMI) to alterations in the structure and environment of cancerous tumors.
Most women with ovarian cancer are diagnosed with the most advanced form of the disease. Less than a third of those diagnosed with the disease survive five years later. As the third most common type of gynecological cancer, it led to more than 200,000 reported deaths globally in 2020 alone, according to a recent study.
