As told by the researchers it is not clear about the co-relation of obesity and ovarian cancer but predictions of previous study shows that ovarian cancer to be much affected with obesity.
Scientists found the cause of death as the advanced recurrent disease in patient, possibly due to obesity, thereby leading to decreased survival time.
The presence of fat tissues act as booster for tumour growth causing lower chances of survival of patient suffering from ovarian cancer.
Thus, maintaining ideal weight by reducing obesity can help the patients of ovarian cancer to survive to some extent.
