Obesity at the time of prostate-cancer diagnosis dramatically increases the risk of dying from the disease

---

Omschrijving
Obese men who are diagnosed with prostate cancer have more than two-and-a-half times the risk of dying from the disease as compared to men of normal weight at the time of diagnosis, according to a study by researchers at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. The findings by senior author Alan Kristal, Dr.P.H., and colleagues appear online and will be published in the March 15 print edition of the journal Cancer. "I was very surprised by the findings," said Kristal, member and associate head of the Cancer Prevention Program in the Hutchinson Center's Public Health Sciences Division. "We found the prostate-cancer-specific mortality risk associated with obesity was similar regardless of treatment, disease grade or disease stage at the time of diagnosis," he said.
