About this Research Topic
This Research Topic aims to provide new and strong evidence through clinical trials and basic research to improve the clinical effectiveness and security of bariatric surgery, and broaden our understanding of the impact of bariatric surgery on obesity and obesity-related diseases. Meanwhile, it seeks to explore the potential mechanisms of bariatric surgery to alleviate obesity-related diseases.
In this Research Topic, we encourage authors to submit original research, reviews, meta-analyses, and case reports, including but not limited to the following topics.
• Impact of bariatric surgery on obesity and related diseases (T2DM, NAFLD, Hyperlipidemia, hypertension, OSHAS, PCOS) and underlying mechanisms
• Effects and mechanisms of bariatric surgery on obesity-related cancers (breast cancer, endometrial cancer, ovarian cancer, esophageal adenocarcinoma, colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer and renal cancer)
• The safety and efficacy of new surgical approaches or techniques for bariatric surgery
• Predictors affecting the impact of bariatric surgery on obesity and related diseases.
Special Note for authors:
To move forward our understanding of the effects and mechanisms underlying bariatric and metabolic surgery for obesity and its complications, please take a look at articles published within the previous Research Topic Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery for Obesity and Related Diseases: Effects and Mechanisms
Keywords: Obesity, Bariatric and metabolic surgery, Comorbidity, Clinical effect, Mechanism
Important Note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
