Kidney cancer reaches 2-3% of cancer cases in the United States. More than 80% of these cases arise from renal parenchymal cells containing adenocarcinoma / kidney cancer cells. According to the American Journal of Epidemiology, obesity can increase the risk of kidney cancer carcinoma cells. In a study conducted by The Women’s Health Initiative Study of 140,000 thousand women in the United States aged 50 to 79 years, those who have a body mass index (BMI) above 35 digits to 60 percent risk of having kidney cancer carcinoma cells.

The risk is also higher in those who have a history of obesity. Read the rest of this entry →
