AACR 2022 | Mechanisms by which obesity leads to breast cancer

Kristy A. Brown, PhD, Weill Cornell Medical College, New York, NY, discusses the mechanisms by which obesity leads to breast cancer, including steroid hormones and adipokines. As adipocytes grow during the development of obesity, this changes the function of factors that promote the development of cancer.
