LONDON — Women who have their stomachs stapled not only lose weight but also may reduce their cancer risk by up to 40 percent, new research says.
In a study of more than 2,000 obese people who had surgery to reduce the size of their stomachs, Swedish researchers found women who had the procedure were less likely to get cancer than those who did not. But for some reason, the surgery didn’t have the same effect in men.
The research was published online today in the medical journal Lancet Oncology.
