Breast cancer breakthrough: Why reducing belly fat could be life-saving

Now scientists in China have found how women could reduce their risk of getting a rare and hard to treat type of breast cancer.

Researchers found pear shaped women are less likely to develop the disease than women who have an apple-shaped body.

Obese women who have a build-up of fat around their stomachs are more likely to get ER-(negative) breast cancer, a form of the disease that cannot be tackled with hormone blocking drugs.

Those with who accumulated fat around their internal organs known as visceral and measured by belly fat, were predisposed to develop a different subtype of breast cancer than thoset hat accumulated fat more widely around their thighs, hips and buttocks known as subcutaneous.
