Study: Weight Loss Surgery Cuts Cancer Risk in Women

Weight-loss surgery can sometimes reverse type 2 diabetes and ease other obesity-related diseases and conditions. Obesity is a known risk factor for colon, breast, endometrial, kidney and esophageal cancers. New research suggests that obese women who undergo bariatric weight-loss surgery experience a 42 percent drop in their cancer risk - Men, for some reason, didn't get the same benefit from the surgery.

The majority of participants in the study had Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy (commonly known as stomach stapling); some had adjustable gastric banding, in which a silicone band is placed around the top of the upper part of the stomach to restrict food intake. Fewer than 300 people in the study had gastric bypass surgery, a more dramatic technique in which the surgeon creates a golf-ball-shaped pouch to curb food intake. Although a reduction in cancer risk was seen with all three techniques, some experts believe that gastric bypass surgery may one day be shown to be more effective than the other two.
