Abstract
A large retrospective study of patients who are severely obese in France suggests that bariatric surgery may reduce the risk of gastric and esophageal cancers, alleviating concerns that surgery may increase such risk. Studies with longer follow-up and more histologic data are needed to better understand the connection between surgical procedures and subtypes of these cancers.
