Abstract
Objective: The standard surgery for endometrial cancer can be deferred in some situations, including morbid obesity, comorbidities, and the patient's desire for fertility. One of the options to improve patients' circumstances is bariatric surgery.
Case report: This study presented two patients with stage IA, grade I endometrioid endometrial adenocarcinoma. Both patients had morbid obesity and had comorbidities. In case 1, because of fertility preservation, and in case 2, because of severe comorbidities, hormone therapy was started, followed by bariatric surgery after counseling patients. Both patients had acceptable changes in body mass index during follow-up, so cancer surgery through laparoscopy was done. Both patients did not need adjuvant therapy; months after cancer surgery, there is no recurrence, and their body mass index is also decreasing.
Conclusion: Bariatric surgery can improve outcomes in patients with morbid obesity who suffer endometrial cancer.
