Abstract:

Obesity is now considered to be a global epidemic. The problem of obesity has significant implications for the diagnosis and treatment of gynecological cancer. Obese women are reported to be at higher risk from gynecological cancers than non obese women. The ovary, endometrium and cervix are the fourth, fifth and sixth most common cancer after breast lung and bowel in England. Previous studies have indicated an association between obesity and poor survival in several tumour types, including gynecological cancer. We sought to test the hypothesis that obesity reduces survival rate and also its association with stage of gynecological cancers.
