Pro-inflammatory adipokines as predictors of incident cancers in a Chinese cohort of low obesity prevalence in Hong Kong.

Pro-inflammatory adipokines as predictors of incident cancers in a Chinese cohort of low obesity prevalence in Hong Kong.

BACKGROUND:Cytokines released from adipose tissues induce chronic low-grade inflammation, which may enhance cancer development.
