Abstract:
What's new? How does being overweight lead to thyroid cancer? These authors investigated, using data from the EPIC cohort. Considering obesity as a state of chronic inflammation, they looked at levels of various proteins associated with inflammation, including C‐reactive protein, IL‐10, adiponectin, and others, and compared these with TC risk. Women with high adiponectin levels were less likely to develop thyroid cancer, while those with high IL‐10 levels had increased TC risk. No significant association was seen in men.
