It's the most effective way to lose weight and keep it off for people with Obesity, even though it's the most intrusive.
One study found that those who underwent the procedure lost over a quarter of their body weight.
Recent data shows that the surgery seems to lower the risk of some cancers.
The weight loss surgery was found to be associated with a reduction in the risk of cancer related deaths, as well as a reduction in the risk of being obese.
A study presented at the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) Annual Meeting found that the incidence of cancer was lowered for those who had the surgery. The researchers found that obese people who hadn't had the surgery were 3.5 times more likely to die from cancer.
It's important to look at the risk of these cancers as well, even though the numbers seem impressive.
The team looked at 30,318 patients who had surgery and 25,265 who did not and found that 5,053 of them had surgery.
Almost 5 percent of the control group got a cancer related to Obesity after 10 years. The risk of these cancers increases by 2%. The risk of dying from these cancers was lower.
The second study looked into specific cancer types and involved 1,620 patients who either had a gastric bypass or a sleeve gastrectomy. The 10-year incidence of cancer for the weight loss surgery group was more than double that of the control group.
The group with the highest survival rate was the weight loss group. The surgery group had a small increase in the number of gynecologic cancers. The difference between surgery and control was 0.10.
According to the American Cancer Society, Obesity is second only to tobacco as a preventable cause of cancer in the US.
The study shows the value of weight loss to reduce cancer risk.
Some of the genetic changes that cause cancer include some that turn off repair or quality control checks that would usually kill faulty cells to prevent further problems. Without control mechanisms damaged cells can grow into tumors.
This can be caused by a number of different sources. Some of the genes that have been passed down from your parents can be traced to UV exposure or chemicals in tobacco products.
The mechanisms of why obese people are more likely to get cancer are still not understood. Scientists think that high levels of fat cells can cause low-level inflammation in the body, which can lead to the development of cancer.
Despite the increased risk, it's important to know that the surgery isn't for everybody. People can have both positive and negative reactions to the surgery, side effects can be intense, and it doesn't change any psychological problems a person might have with food.
The results show that weight loss surgery can affect more than just a person's body mass, and give those who want to lose weight an additional health benefit.
The second study was presented at the annual meeting ahead of the peer review and was published in thejama
