Main Article Content

Shashi K. Agarwal

Abstract

Part I thru III discussed obesity, its general relationship with cancer and its specific impact on six cancers, namely those involving the breast, colorectal tissues, esophagus, stomach. gall bladder, and liver. This part (Part IV) deals with obesity and its relationship with cancers of the endometrium, ovary, pancreas, prostate, kidneys, thyroid, and lung. Meningioma and multiple myeloma are also discussed.
