Utah, USA: Although it has long been known that obesity is associated with cancer risk, there are advances in how weight loss surgery can help reduce cancer risk.
According to media reports, a 40-year study confirms that weight loss surgery can reduce long-term cancer risks in obese people, especially women.
Ted Adams, lead researcher of the Intermountain Surgical Specialties/Digestive Health Clinical Program, said there is certainly evidence that weight-loss surgery reduces the risk of cancer, but it is not yet known whether the surgery does so. How is it affected?
Adams said of the study that people who had surgery had a significantly lower rate of cancer than obese people who had no surgery, and were also more likely to be women with endometrial or breast cancer. There was danger.
