Menopausal obesity raises breast cancer risk more than genetic factors

A report indicates that obesity during menopause increases breast cancer risk more than genetic predisposition, with hormones from fatty tissue posing a greater risk than contraceptive or fertility-treatment hormones. The claim is based on a single news source and lacks primary data or corroboration, so the magnitude of the effect remains uncertain. This matters for public-health messaging and could influence preventive screening priorities.
