A new study suggests that men and women, maintaining normal weight can reduce the risk of kidney cancer incidence, and risk of overweight will increase the risk of kidney cancer. However, in the past people always think that obesity is more dangerous to women.

Sweden's Karolinska Institute researchers found that overweight caused by renal cell cancer risk for men and women alike. Morbid obesity compared with normal weight, the risk of kidney cancer patients to be twice as high, twice as high obesity, overweight but not obese were higher than 35%.

The researchers said: the body may be the obesity of some hormones (eg insulin) levels increased, promoting the growth of renal cell carcinoma; or obesity affected the renal blood supply to kidneys are more sensitive to the carcinogens.
