Friday March 10, 2006 (0101 PST)
ISLAMABAD, March 10(Online): A new study by American Cancer Society (ACS) researchers finds that being overweight or obese raises a person’s risk of pancreatic cancer.
This is especially true for people who tend to gain weight in their mid-section, compared to those who gain it in their hips and thighs, or evenly all over their body.
The findings were published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention (Vol. 14, No. 2: 459-466).
