Abstract

A recent study has examined adult height in relation to cancer risk in a cohort of 23 million Korean adults. Taller stature was associated with higher risk of every cancer studied, except for oesophageal cancer. This association contributes to our understanding of cancer and may help aid in cancer risk prediction.
