High weight associated with risk of colorectal tumors without microsatellite instability



Note: the microsatellite test (MSS = stable; MSI-L = low; MSI-H = high) is a blood test and has also been studied in ovarian cancers

"Recent body mass index (people over 30 kg/m2 or more, the cut off for obesity) was positively associated with overall risk of colorectal cancer for men and women combined. It was also associated with risk of MS-stable and MSI-low colorectal tumors, but not with the risk of MSI-high tumors."
