OTERO-PARRA, Santiago; PINEDA-ORTEGA, Juliana; RAMIREZ, Jorge Sebastián y OTERO-REGINO., William. Impact of Bariatric Surgery on the Incidence of Various Cancers. Narrative Review. Rev. colomb. Gastroenterol. [online]. 2023, vol.38, n.3, pp.321-330. Epub 17-Ene-2024. ISSN 0120-9957. https://doi.org/10.22516/25007440.951.
Obesity is a global epidemic. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), it is an abnormal or excessive accumulation of fat that can harm health. Its incidence is increasing alarmingly in developing countries. It is also a significant risk factor for developing chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, arterial hypertension, coronary disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and musculoskeletal disorders such as osteoarthritis. Furthermore, associations have been found between obesity and the development of prostate, liver, gallbladder, kidney, colon, endometrial, breast, and ovarian cancer. Bariatric and metabolic surgery is the most effective treatment for morbid obesity and its comorbidities. This surgery can reduce general mortality by 40% at ten years due to cardiovascular outcomes, diabetes, or cancer and improve metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes.
