Obesity Linked to Common Form of Kidney Cancer and Each Extra BMI Point Increases Risk

That food was to die-alysis for!

Being obese could lead to a greater risk of developing the most common form of renal cell cancer, according to research in the January issue of the UK-based urology journal BJUI.

US researchers found that obese patients with kidney tumours have 48 per cent higher odds of developing a clear-cell renal cell cancer (RCC) than patients with a body mass index (BMI) of less than 30. And the odds increase by four per cent for every extra BMI point.

Just when you thought it was safe to pee, again.

Kudos, fatsos.
