Description
Paulo Kassab and co-authors review a 2024 body of work, issued with two Brazilian surgical societies, on obesity, cancer, and weight-loss surgery. Obesity is a known risk factor for many cancers, and cancers in the young are rising in step with it. Some other cancer rates fall thanks to screening and less smoking. The links run through warped metabolism, low-grade swelling, and shifted hormones.
The review sums up proof that weight-loss surgery cuts the risk of the cancers tied to obesity by a marked amount. Such surgery resets the metabolic and hormone state that feeds those cancers, which may explain the drop. The authors write as a position piece for their societies, aimed at surgeons and policy makers. It frames surgery as part of cancer prevention, not just weight care.
