RNY Lowers Risk of Breast Cancer Recurrence-study

[FluffyChix 17,418]

Someone posted a study not too long ago that shows reduction in inflammatory markers reduces breast cancer recurrence. Does anyone remember who posted it? (Maybe about a month ago.)

@Berry78 wasn't it you who posted about it? I'm trying to find the study for my oncologist.

Thank you!

Perhaps this is the one you are referring to:

https://www.bariatricpal.com/topic/403497-40-of-cancers-linked-to-obesity/

The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has identified specific types of cancers that are related to obesity and overweight: meningioma, multiple myeloma, adenocarcinoma of the esophagus, and cancers of the thyroid, post-menopausal breast, gallbladder, stomach, liver, pancreas, kidney, ovaries, uterus, colon and rectum (colorectal).

Many of these, including colon and rectal, pancreatic, breast, liver, and ovarian are amongst the deadliest types of cancers.

@James Marusek Thank you James. Those are terrifying statistics. But it wasn't the one. In checking, I think it's this one from @Apple203 that started me researching the effects of RNY of breast cancer. Here's the link to the thread.

Yeah, it wasn't me. I haven't gone down the road of cancer research as it pertains to bariatrics.

@FluffyChix Glad you found the link. My mother is also a breast cancer survivor, so I am always vigilant to the developments in this field. Mom did treatments during my first son's 9-month gestation -- so she's 25 years clear. :-)
