Risk of non-hormonal cancer after bariatric surgery: meta-analysis of retrospective observational studies.
Obesity is associated with an increased incidence of at least 13 types of cancer. Although bariatric surgery has been associated with a reduced risk of hormonal cancers, data for non-hormonal cancers are scarce. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of bariatric surgery on the incidence of non-hormonal cancers. ⋯ Bariatric surgery is related to an almost 50 per cent reduction in the risk of non-hormonal cancers.
