: There is mounting evidence that obesity is linked to numerous types of cancer that affect both sexes. But the incidence of obesity-related cancers is particularly high among women. Obesity is implicated not only in the development of cancer, but also in cancer recurrence, treatment complications, and poor patient outcomes. Nurses, particularly those caring for women, should be aware of these associations so they may provide effective patient teaching about preventing cancer and mitigating its adverse effects. The author discusses the role of obesity in the development and recurrence of cancer in women; describes weight loss interventions that may reduce cancer risk in overweight or obese patients; and suggests interviewing techniques to help nurses sensitively address the topic of overweight and obesity with their female patients.
越来越多的证据表明，肥胖与多种癌症有关，这些癌症影响着男女两性。但肥胖相关癌症的发病率在女性中尤其高。肥胖不仅与癌症的发生有关，还与癌症复发、治疗并发症和较差的患者预后有关。护士，特别是照顾女性的护士，应该了解这些关联，以便能够为患者提供有效的预防癌症和减轻其不良影响的教育。作者讨论了肥胖在女性癌症的发生和复发中的作用；描述了可能降低超重或肥胖患者癌症风险的减肥干预措施；并提出了访谈技巧，帮助护士敏感地与女性患者讨论超重和肥胖问题。
