May 1, 2023 — Weight loss surgery has long been known to provide health benefits beyond the actual pounds lost. Diabetes can go into remission, sleep apnea can improve, and blood pressure can decrease, research has shown. Now researchers are adding a lower risk of cancer to the list.
The researchers compared almost 56,000 people with obesity who had bariatric surgery to the same number who did not. They tracked how many people developed cancer over the next 10 years.

Chittajallu and colleagues identified 55,789 people with obesity who underwent the surgery and a control group of others who did not by using billing codes in a national database. Their retrospective, observational study included people undergoing sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypass, and gastric band procedures at one of 47 health care organizations nationwide.They found 4% of the surgery group and 8.9% of the non-surgery group developed cancer.
Why the risk of cancer drops after surgery for obesity is not completely understood, Chittajallu said, but bariatric surgery has been shown to lower excess inflammation, elevate insulin, and moderate hormone levels.
