Obesity is recognized as a significant risk factor for various types of cancer. Although the incidence of some types of cancer across various primary sites is decreasing due to specific prevention measures (screening programs, smoking cessation), the incidence of neoplasms in the young population shows a significant increase associated with obesity. There is sufficient evidence to say that bariatric surgery has been shown to significantly lower the risk of developing obesity-associated cancers, which are linked to metabolic dysregulation, chronic low-grade systemic inflammation, and hormonal alterations such as elevated levels of insulin and sex hormones.
肥胖被认为是各类癌症的一个重要风险因素。尽管由于特定的预防措施（筛查项目、戒烟），不同原发部位的某些类型癌症的发病率正在下降，但年轻人群中肿瘤的发病率却因肥胖而显著上升。有充分证据表明，减重手术已被证明能显著降低患肥胖相关癌症的风险，这些癌症与代谢失调、慢性低度全身炎症以及激素改变（如胰岛素和性激素水平升高）有关。
