Does Bariatric Surgery Reduce the Risk of Colorectal Cancer in Individuals with Morbid Obesity? A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Bariatric surgery has shown to be effective in producing sustained weight loss and the resolution of obesity related medical problems. Recent research focused on the role of obesity and adipose tissue in tumorigenesis, finding a strong crosslink through different mechanisms and highlighting an increase in cancer incidence in individuals with obesity. The aim of this meta-analysis is to find if bariatric surgery reduces the incidence of colorectal cancer in patients with obesity. We performed a meta-analysis including 18 studies (PROSPERO ID: CRD4202235931). Bariatric surgery was found to be significantly protective toward colorectal cancer incidence in individuals with obesity (HR: 0.81, p = 0.0142). The protective effect persisted when considering women (RR: 0.54, p = 0.0014) and men (RR: 0.74, p = 0.2798) separately, although this was not significant for the latter. No difference was found when comparing Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy. Bariatric surgery reduces the incidence of colorectal cancer in individuals with obesity independently from gender and surgical procedure. Prospective large cohort studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Project description:ImportanceAlthough bariatric surgery is effective against morbid obesity, the association of this surgery with the risk of colorectal cancer remains controversial.ObjectiveTo assess whether bariatric surgery is associated with altered risk of colorectal cancer among individuals with obesity.Design, setting, and participantsThis retrospective, population-based, multicenter, cohort study based on French electronic health data included 1 045 348 individuals with obesity, aged 50 to 75 years, and free of colorectal cancer at baseline. All inpatients with obesity having data recorded during a hospital stay between 2009 and 2018 by the French national health insurance information system database were followed up for a mean (SD) of 5.3 (2.1) years for those who did not undergo bariatric surgery and 5.7 (2.2) years for those who underwent bariatric surgery. Two groups of patients comparable in terms of age, sex, body mass index, follow-up, comorbidities, and conditions who did or did not undergo surgery were also obtained by propensity score matching.ExposuresBariatric surgery (n = 74 131), including adjustable gastric banding, sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypass; or no bariatric surgery (n = 971 217).Main outcomes and measuresPrimary outcome was incident colorectal cancer. Standardized incidence ratios were calculated using age-, sex-, and calendar year-matched colorectal cancer incidence among the general French population during the corresponding years. Secondary outcome was incident colorectal benign polyps.ResultsAmong a total of 1 045 348 patients, the mean (SD) age was 57.3 (5.5) years for the 74 131 patients in the surgical cohort vs 63.4 (7.0) years for the 971 217 patients in the nonsurgical cohort. The mean (SD) follow-up was 6.2 (2.1) years for patients who underwent adjustable gastric banding, 5.5 (2.1) years for patients who underwent sleeve gastrectomy, and 5.7 (2.2) years for patients who underwent gastric bypass. In total, 13 052 incident colorectal cancers (1.2%) and 63 649 colorectal benign polyps were diagnosed. The rate of colorectal cancer was 0.6% in the bariatric surgery cohort and 1.3% in the cohort without bariatric surgery. In the latter cohort, 9417 cases were expected vs 12 629 observed, a standardized incidence ratio of 1.34 (95% CI, 1.32-1.36). In the bariatric surgery cohort, 428 cases were expected and 423 observed, a standardized incidence ratio of 1.0 (95% CI, 0.90-1.09). Propensity score-matched hazard ratios in comparable operated vs nonoperated groups were 0.68 (95% CI, 0.60-0.77) for colorectal cancer and 0.56 (95% CI, 0.53-0.59) for colorectal benign polyp. There were fewer new diagnoses of colorectal cancer after gastric bypass (123 of 22 343 [0.5%]) and sleeve gastrectomy (185 of 35 328 [0.5%]) than after adjustable gastric banding (115 of 16 460 [0.7%]), and more colorectal benign polyps after adjustable gastric banding (775 of 15 647 [5.0%]) than after gastric bypass (639 of 20 863 [3.1%]) or sleeve gastrectomy (1005 of 32 680 [3.1%]).Conclusion and relevanceThe results of this nationwide cohort study suggested that following bariatric surgery, patients with obesity share the same risk of colorectal cancer as the general population, whereas for patients with obesity who do not undergo bariatric surgery, the risk is 34% above that of the general population.

Project description:BackgroundMorbid obesity is associated with an increased risk of thrombotic events, which has been attributed to increased thrombotic activity. Multiple mechanisms have been proposed to explain this increased risk, including an inflammatory state with upregulation of procoagulant and antifibrinolytic proteins. We therefore hypothesize that patients with morbid obesity are hypercoagulable and will revert to normal after bariatric surgery.ObjectivesTo evaluate changes in the hypercoagulable state after bariatric surgery.SettingUniversity Hospital, Bariatric Center of Excellence, United States.MethodsThromboelastography (TEG) data were collected on 72 subjects with morbid obesity, with 36 who had 6 months of follow-up after bariatric surgery. TEG data of 75 healthy subjects (HS) without obesity, recent trauma or surgery, acute infection, or chronic conditions (e.g., liver, cardiovascular, or kidney disease; cancer; diabetes; autoimmune or inflammatory disorders; and disorders of coagulation) were used for comparison. TEG was performed alone and with the addition of 75 and 150 ng/mL tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) to quantify fibrinolysis resistance (tPA-challenged TEG).ResultsThe bariatric surgery cohort had a median age of 40.5 years, a median body mass index of 44.6 kg/m2, and 90% female patients. Median body mass index reduced significantly 6 months post surgery but remained elevated compared with the HS group (31.4 versus 25.4 kg/m2, P < .0001). At 6 months post surgery, subjects had longer reaction time (mean difference, 1.3; P = .02), lower maximum amplitude (-2.4, P = .01), and increased fibrinolysis with low-dose (3.1, P < .0001) and high-dose tPA-challenged TEG (9, P < .0001). Compared with HS, the postsurgery TEG values were still more likely to be abnormal (all P < .05).ConclusionsPatients with morbid obesity form stronger clots more rapidly and are more resistant to fibrinolysis than subjects without obesity. Bariatric surgery significantly improved the hypercoagulable profile and fibrinolysis resistance of morbid obesity.
