🆕study from IARC & @CLCCLeonBerard provides novel evidence on how excess adiposity may increase risk of #PancreaticCancer.
Study in the @BrJCancer finds higher blood glucose levels explain ~20% of increased pancreatic cancer risk associated with obesity.

IARC & partners identify blood proteins linked to how #cardiometabolic diseases & #cancer develop together over time.
Findings could help improve early detection & prevention of #multimorbidity.

Scientific progress depends on more than discovery. This editorial, published in Considerations in Medicine, makes the case for recognising replication, transparency, and methodological rigour as essential components of impactful research. Read it here: bit.ly/4fOl7mu

👉Higher BMI raises obesity‑related cancer risk at all ages 30–65.
👉BMI in midlife (40s–50s) may matter most, but excess adiposity anytime in adulthood increases cancer risk.
