      Background Obesity is an important cause of multiple cancer types, amongst which endometrial cancer (EC). The relation between obesity and cancer is complicated and involves alterations in insulin metabolism, response to ...
    • Microvascular proliferation is associated with high tumour blood flow by mpMRI and disease progression in primary prostate cancer
