Dear Dr. Renukaprasad A R, High BMI is a risk factor for cancer development and is associated with poor prognosis in multiple tumor types, especially in women after menopause. Obesity induces various systemic changes, including altered insulin, insulin-like growth factor-1, and leptin levels, which can potentially create an environment that favors tumor initiation and progression. Join the experts for an exclusive DIWAS session, where they will discuss the "High BMI and Cancer in Women" on 18th August 2022, 3:00 PM IST onwards. Speakers and topics -- Dr. Minal Mohit, Women who are overweight
- Dr. P. Amala Florida, Women who have cancer
