Obese Women Disadvantaged In Both Breast Cancer Treatment And Diagnosis

Kudos, fatsos.

"Obese women with breast cancer have worse disease outcomes and also tend to present to their doctor for the first time with more advanced disease, two scientists told the 6th European Breast Cancer Conference (EBCC-6) on16 April.

Dr. Evandro de Azambuja and colleagues at the Jules Bordet Institute, Brussels, Belgium, told the conference that his work, which involved 2887 patients, showed that women who had a body mass index (BMI) of more than 30kg/m2 had poorer outcomes in terms of disease-free and overall survival. "Our data once more stress the global problem of obesity," he said."

Breast removal, chemo, etc., are suboptimal ways to lose weight, IMHO.

Try something other than the extreme remedies just mentioned.
