Abstract

Obesity is becoming a life-threatening problem leading to gynaecological malignancies. Emerging data indicate that obesity plays a part in the emergence of gynaecological cancers. The study’s goal is to look into the likelihood of gynaecological cancers according to obesity using a cohort study of 400 female patients from a hospital in Chennai, India. Altogether, 200 patients were obese, while the rest 200 were of normal weight. The study indicates that obesity leads to a higher risk of endometrial cancer, intermediate risk of breast and ovarian cancer and relatively negligible risk of ovarian cancer when compared to the normal weight cancer patients.
