“…Another case report describes a young female with BMI 95 kg/m 2 who was diagnosed with endometrial cancer but was thought to be unsuitable for surgical management. Instead, she underwent laparoscopic SG with substantial resultant weight loss and was later able to successfully have her definitive cancer operation (119). Future investigations are warranted to determine if there should be analogous roles for bariatric procedures in breast cancer.…”

Breast cancer is the most common and second deadliest malignancy in women. With rising obesity rates and building evidence for a strong association with obesity, the incidence of breast cancer can be expected to increase. Weight loss reduces breast cancer risk, the mechanisms of which are still poorly understood. As an effective therapy for obesity, bariatric surgery may be a powerful tool in breast cancer prevention and treatment. This review details the potential physiologic mechanisms that may underlie this association, as well as recently published studies that reinforce the link between bariatric surgery and a reduction in incident breast cancer. The use of bariatric surgery as an adjunct therapy in endometrial cancer also raises the potential for similar use in select breast cancer patients. Despite the expanding potential applications of bariatric surgery in this field, publications to date have been strictly observational, highlighting a need for future clinical trials.

Purpose of review With a worldwide increase in obesity, there has been an increase in obesity-related diseases. Endometrial cancer is a common cause of cancer for women worldwide. Incidence of endometrial cancer has risen worldwide. Accompanying these patients are risk factors and challenges that may prevent standard of care from being delivered. Recent findings The current article describes recent literature describing surgical approaches to the obese patient and special considerations in this population. This article also reviews bariatric surgery and endometrial cancer as well as new updates in radiation, chemotherapy and hormonal therapy research in the obese population. Summary The current article reviews therapeutics and surgery in the morbidly obese for the treatment of endometrial cancer.
