Not a hole lot by the looks of all the fat people JOKES It's thought that more than one in 20 cancers in the UK are linked to being overweight or obese. Research has shown that many types of cancer are more common in people who are overweight or obese, including: Breast cancer, in women after the menopause bowel cancer womb cancer oesophageal (food pipe) cancer pancreatic cancer kidney cancer gallbladder cancer This list includes two of the most common types of cancer, and three of the hardest to treat. The fat tissues in overweight people produce more hormones and growth factors than those in people of a healthy weight. High levels of some of these hormones, including oestrogen and insulin, can increase the risk of certain cancers.
