Adiposity and cancer survival: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
En ChengJocelyn KirleyElizabeth M Cespedes FelicianoBette J CaanPublished in: Cancer causes & control : CCC (2022)
Greater adiposity at diagnosis (directly measured by imaging) is not associated with worse survival among cancer survivors. However, heterogeneity and other potential limitations were noted across studies, suggesting differences in study design and adiposity measurement approaches, making interpretation of meta-analyses challenging. Future work to standardize imaging measurements and data analyses will strengthen research on the role of adiposity in cancer survival.
