LSU Health New Orleans describes a causal mechanism of link between cancer and obesity

 E-Mail New Orleans, LA - A review study led by Maria D. Sanchez-Pino, PhD, an assistant research professor in the departments of Interdisciplinary Oncology and Genetics at LSU Health New Orleans School of Medicine and Stanley S. Scott Cancer Center, advances knowledge about the connection between obesity-associated inflammation and cancer. The researchers suggest that inflammatory cells with immunosuppressive properties may act as a critical biological link between obesity and cancer risk, progression, and metastasis. The paper is published in the June 2021 issue of Obesity, available here. Despite evidence showing that obesity increases the risk of cancer progression, efforts are needed to identify the causal relationship between immunosuppressive cells and the response of immunotherapy in patients with obesity.

But other health experts find that conflating body size with health is at best misguided and at worst, dangerous. Low-fat, low-carb, Paleo, keto, South Beach, intermittent fasting the list goes on. Given that our culture and the sport of running idealizes thinness, it’s not surprising that nearly one in five midlife women has dieted in the past few years, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. And many have regained the weight and see themselves as having failed. Less than 1 percent of very large people got to a“normal” weight at all in a study that included almost 100,000 women, and most who did regained the pounds they had lost within five years.
