Bariatric Surgery and Risk of Obesity-Related Cancer by Age and Sex

In this study, bariatric surgery was associated with a lower long-term risk of obesity-related cancers, with similar associations across age groups and sexes. These findings suggest that the long-term oncologic benefits of bariatric surgery apply broadly across age groups and sexes, supporting equitable access to bariatric surgery for patients with obesity.
