Obesity is now recognized as a major risk factor for 13 different cancers — including breast, colon, pancreatic, liver, and uterine cancer.

In this video, Dr. Mohammed Paika (board-certified in Internal Medicine & Obesity Medicine) explains the science behind how excess body fat increases cancer risk, which cancers are most strongly linked to obesity, and how weight loss may reduce long-term cancer risk.

You’ll learn the biological mechanisms connecting obesity and cancer, including inflammation, insulin resistance, hormonal changes, and organ fat deposition — all explained in clear, practical terms.

This is not fear-based messaging.
It’s evidence-based medicine.

Understanding this link can help patients, clinicians, and families view obesity treatment not just as weight management — but as disease and cancer prevention.

If you want to understand the real health impact of obesity beyond weight, this is essential knowledge.
