Weight-loss surgery, such as stomach stapling, could reduce cancer risk in obese women - but not men - according to new research.
It is widely known that obesity increases the risk of many types of cancer, but it was unclear whether surgery would cut the risk of cancer.
A Swedish study has found that female patients who had surgery were 42 per cent less likely to develop cancer. But there was no change to the incidence of cancer in men.
Scientists looked at a group of just over 2,000 Swedish patients who underwent operations to reduce their weight were monitored for an average of just over a decade as well as a similar sized group of obese patients who received standard treatment such as nutritional advice.
