Boys who are overweight still at higher cancer risk as adults, even with weight loss

“My patients respond to the Anticancer Lifestyle Program in a way I find unprecedented in 30 years of Radiation Oncology practice. It helps them feel that we are caring for them, and not just delivering cancer treatment.”

“I am so glad I found the AntiCancer Lifestyle Program. This is an amazing idea and gift. Our son-in-law at 39 has glioblastoma. After surgery, chemo, and radiation we hope, no relapse. Hope, however, is not a plan. My wife and I are changing to help him change.”

Excess weight in childhood appears to boost the risk of obesity-related cancers for men later in life, even if they shed the extra pounds by adulthood, a researcher reported here.

Over more than 40 years of follow-up, men who were overweight or obese at age 8 but returned to normal weight by age 20 were 38% more likely to develop cancers compared with those at normal weight throughout development (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 1.38, 95% CI 1.09-1.75), reported Jenny Kindblom, MD, PhD, of the University of Gothenburg in Sweden.”
