Bariatric Surgery Reduces Cancer Risk by Up to 30%
Bariatric Surgery Reduces Cancer Risk by Up to 30%
“Did you know? Bariatric surgery doesn’t just help with ‘appearance’; it also reduces the risk of cancer by up to 30%, according to reports from the American Cancer Society. Therefore, surgical treatment for obesity has become another crucial, yet often overlooked, key to long-term health care.”
Why is “Obesity” Linked to “Cancer”?
Obesity is not just a problem of body size; it is also a state of “chronic inflammation” within the body. This leads to hormonal changes in substances like insulin, estrogen, and growth factors, all of which are linked to the development of many types of cancer, such as breast cancer, colorectal cancer, liver cancer, ovarian cancer, and uterine cancer.
Data from the World Health Organization (WHO) indicates that individuals with obesity have a 20–40% higher chance of developing certain cancers compared to people with a normal weight. This is because excess body fat stimulates the body to secrete inflammatory cytokines and create a state of insulin resistance, which can promote the growth of abnormal cells.
Research Confirms: Safe Weight-Loss Surgery Truly Reduces Cancer Risk
The American Cancer Society reports that individuals who undergo surgical treatment for obesity (Bariatric Surgery) have an average 30% reduced risk of developing obesity-related cancers compared to those who do not undergo surgery.
Specifically, in highly obese women, after bariatric surgery, the risk of breast and uterine cancer has been found to decrease with statistical significance (data from JAMA Oncology, 2022). This aligns with the Swedish Obese Subjects Study, which tracked over 4,000 obese patients for more than 20 years and found that those who underwent bariatric surgery had a cancer incidence rate nearly one-third lower than the standard weight control group.
Mechanisms for Reduced Cancer Risk Post-Surgery
Current bariatric surgery techniques offer high safety and long-term results, such as Sleeve Gastrectomy (removing the part of the stomach that produces the hunger hormone) and Gastric Bypass (reducing energy absorption and adjusting the metabolic system). Modern safe weight-loss surgery often utilizes high definition laparoscopic techniques (Laparoscopic 4K System), resulting in smaller incisions, less pain, and faster recovery. Patients can typically return to their daily routines within a few weeks.
Good health starts with the right care. If you are looking for a safe weight-loss surgery method under the care of a specialized medical team, consulting a center for surgical treatment of obesity is the starting point for lasting health transformation for a stronger, cancer-free life, and a return to better quality of life.

Mechanisms for Reduced Cancer Risk Post-Surgery
- Reduction in Cancer-Promoting Hormone Levels: The surgery helps decrease insulin and estrogen levels in the body hormones that contribute to the growth of cancer cells.
- Reduced Chronic Inflammation: Obesity is often accompanied by persistent low-grade inflammation. The reduction of visceral fat after surgery helps reduce inflammation and rebalances the immune system.
- Metabolic and Immune System Restoration: Following the surgery (including bariatric surgery potentially covered by social security), the body regains better control over sugar and fat levels, reducing factors that lead to cell mutation.
