Obesity-related cancer deaths in the U.S. have tripled in just two decades, with women, older adults, and minority groups most affected. New research presented at ENDO 2025 highlights how obesity—linked to 13 different cancers—is now a major contributor to cancer mortality, especially in underserved and rural populations. Despite the growing awareness of obesity’s broader health impacts, this surge in cancer fatalities reveals an urgent need for targeted public health interventions and equitable access to care.
