The intersection of diabetes, obesity and cancer represents an important and underappreciated challenge in medicine. Apart from smoking, overweight is now the leading modifiable risk factor for cancer. With the global epidemic of overweight and diabetes driving cancer incidence across multiple organ sites, understanding the metabolic underpinnings of this relationship has never been more critical.
The landscape of cancer care in America faces critical challenges: geographic disparities in access, socioeconomic barriers to advanced treatments and the increasing complexity of precision medicine that outpaces individual providers’ ability to stay current. At City of Hope, we are addressing these systemic issues through a bold expansion that brings world-class cancer care and research closer to where patients live.
