Description
Summary:Purpose The purpose of the present study was to determine the types and prevalence of cancers in obese patients who have risks for cancer with multidisciplinary evaluation in managing the patients before bariatric surgery. Materials and Methods The study had a descriptive cross-sectional method conducted by examining patients’ files retrospectively. The frequency and types of diseases with cancer during the multidisciplinary evaluation of the study group with a BMI ≥ 40 kg/m 2 before bariatric surgery were used as the study data. Results A total of 1354 (64.97%) of these patients underwent bariatric surgery (for obesity), and 730 (35.02%) cases underwent metabolic surgery (type 2 diabetic patients). Eighteen patients had thyroid papillary cancer (0.86%) and colon cancer was detected in 8 people (0.38%), breast cancer in 6 people (0.47%), stomach cancer in 5 people (0.23%), kidney cancer in 3 people (0.1%) 4), lung cancer in 2 people (0.09%), pancreatic cancer in 2 people (0.09%), adrenal cancer in 2 people (0.09%), and neuroendocrine tumor in 1 person (0.04%). Conclusion It was found that obesity and some cancers are related. Weight loss to be achieved with obesity surgery can reduce the risk of obesity-related cancers. Graphical abstract
