Mechanisms that Impact Cancer Risk after Bariatric Surgery (R01)
Funds mechanistic work on how bariatric surgery changes a person's cancer risk — not on weight loss or diabetes.
Bariatric surgery lowers cancer risk. Nobody has established why, and the field that studies the surgery has mostly been looking at something else.
The National Cancer Institute is explicit about that second point. It wants to draw in the scientists who study bariatric surgery and get them investigating its effects on cancer, rather than the shorter-term outcomes they usually measure — weight los…
Investigator-initiated studies of the mechanisms by which bariatric surgery affects cancer risk, rather than shorter-term outcomes such as weight loss or diabetes control. Clinical trials are optional.
