Résumé
Le rapport WCRF (World Cancer Research Fund)/AICR (American Institute for Cancer Research), publié fin 2007, a réévalué le niveau de preuve de la relation entre corpulence et risque de cancer. Celui-ci est jugé convaincant pour la relation indice de masse corporelle-cancer dans le cas de l’œsophage, le pancréas, le côlon-rectum, le sein (chez les femmes ménopausées), l’endomètre et le rein; et pour la relation adiposité abdominale-cancer dans le cas du côlonrectum. Étant donné l’augmentation de la prévalence de l’obésité en France, il devient essentiel de développer la prévention, ainsi que le dépistage des cancers chez les personnes obèses.
Abstract
The WCRF/AICR report published in 2007 has re-evaluated the evidence concerning the relationship between body fatness and the risk of cancer. The evidence is judged as convincing for the relationship body mass index-cancer in the case of the oesophagus, pancreas, colonrectum, breast (in post-menopausal women), endometrium and kidney and for the relationship abdominal fatness-cancer in the case of the colon-rectum. Due to the increase of the prevalence of obesity in France, it is essential to develop its prevention as well as screening obese people for cancer.
