Abstract
Bariatric surgery-induced weight loss is associated with reduced overall cancer incidence; however, some data suggest that risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) actually increases. Here, we suggest a need to fully characterise CRC (and colorectal adenoma) risk after bariatric surgery given that preventive measures (early diagnosis and polypectomy) can mitigate risk.
