Abstract

The incidence of cancer has increased worldwide with a projected rising trend in the future. Obesity is believed to be one of the major contributing factors. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has noted a significant association between obesity and 13 cancer types, known as obesity-related cancers. The causative mechanisms, thus, remain partly elusive. From a cancer-preventive perspective, a natural question would be whether sustainable weight loss may reduce an individual’s lifetime risk of cancer.

Strategies for weight loss range from diet and exercise to obesity management medications (OMMs) and metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS). The benefit of MBS in achieving sustained weight loss and reducing risk of metabolic syndrome has consistently been demonstrated to exceed other forms of therapy...
