Excess body weight and genetics play important roles in cancer susceptibility. Although several studies have reported on obesity and genetic variants as separate risk factors for cancer, very few studies have investigated the interaction between excess body weight and genetic variants in cancer susceptibility. In this review, we focus on the interplay between these 2 risk factors, which are a major determinant of the individual risk of cancer onset.

Abstract
Excess body weight and genetics play important roles in cancer susceptibility. Although several studies have reported on obesity and genetic variants as separate risk factors for cancer, very few studies have investigated the interaction between excess body weight and genetic variants in cancer susceptibility. In this review, we focus on the interplay between these 2 risk factors, which are a major determinant of the individual risk of cancer onset.File in questo prodotto:
