Background: Because the number of patients with a previous bariatric procedure continues to rise, it is advisable for bariatric surgeons to know how to manage the rare event of the development of an esophagogastric cancer. The aim of the study was to perform a systematic review of all reported cases of esophagogastric cancers after bariatric surgery.
Methods: Systematic review of English and French written literature in MEDLINE and EMBASE database.
Results: Globally, 28 articles describing 33 patients were retrieved. Neoplasms were diagnosed at a mean of 8.5 years after bariatric surgery (range 2 months-29 years). There were 11 esophageal and 22 gastric cancers; although adenocarcinoma represented most cases (90.6%), a tubulovillous adenoma with high-grade atypia, an intramural gastrointestinal stromal tumor, and a diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of the gastric fundus were also reported. Node involvement was reported in 14 cases, and distal metastases in 5. The most frequently reported symptoms were dysphagia and food intolerance, vomiting, epigastric pain, and weight loss. Surgery was performed in 28 patients, although 4 underwent only chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy and 1 received palliative care. Reported mortality rate was 48.1%.
Conclusions: To date, it is not possible to quantify the incidence of esophagogastric cancer after bariatric surgery because of the paucity of reported data. Nevertheless, because the main concern is the delay in diagnosis, it is of critical importance to carefully evaluate any new or modified upper digestive tract symptom occurring during bariatric surgery follow-up.

For patients considering bariatric surgery, it is essential to have clear answers to common questions to ensure the success of the procedure. Patients should understand that surgery is not a quick fix but a tool that must be complemented by lifestyle changes, including dietary adjustments and regular physical activity. The procedure carries potential risks that should be weighed against the potential benefits.

Background: Obesity is a predisposing factor for serious comorbidities, particularly those related to elevated cardiovascular mortality. The atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) has been shown to be a useful indicator of patients with insulin resistance.
Aims: The aim of this study was to assess cardiovascular risk before and after surgical treatment of obesity.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify trajectories of BMI, obesity-specific health-related quality of life (HR-QoL), and depression trajectories from pre-surgery to 24 months post-bariatric metabolic surgery (BMS), and explore their associations, addressing subgroup differences often hidden in group-level analyses.
Method: Patients with severe obesity (n = 529) reported their HR-QoL and depression before undergoing BMS, and at 12 and 24 months post-operation. Latent Class Growth Analysis was used to identify trajectories of BMI, HR-QoL and depression.
Is There a Need to Reassess Protein Intake Recommendations Following Metabolic Bariatric Surgery?

Purpose Of Review: Protein intake is recognized as a key nutritional factor crucial for optimizing Metabolic Bariatric Surgery (MBS) outcomes by preventing protein malnutrition, preserving fat-free mass, and inducing satiety. This paper discusses the current evidence regarding protein intake and its impact on clinical outcomes following MBS.
Recent Findings: There are considerable gaps in the understanding of protein requirements following MBS, as existing guidelines are based on limited and inconsistent reports.
