Abstract

Obesity is an established risk factor for many cancers and is thought to adversely affect disease outcomes. Alterations in estrogen and other hormone metabolism in the obese have been postulated to increase the risk of gynecologic malignancies, including uterine and ovarian cancers. The impact of significant and sustained weight loss as achieved by bariatric surgery on gynecologic cancers is not well understood.
