Overweight Men Have a Higher Death Rate From Prostate Cancer

Over weight people have a higher risk factor for certain types of cancer; such as, breast, colon cancer, or prostate cancer. Now scientists have found that men with prostate cancer, who are also over weight, have a 260% higher chance of dying (a 2.6 fold higher risk). This fact is independent of other issues which may have caused their death; i.e. stage and grade of the tumor, or types of treatment provided.
