Resumen

Obesity is a growing public health problem and its association with some chronic diseases, including some types of cancer, mainly breast cancer and endometrial cancer, is increasingly clear. In this review we analyze some mechanisms of this relationship, such as: aromatization in fatty tissue, insulin resistance, chronic inflammation and immune dysfunction.
