Study Description

An estimated 50% of all endometrial cancer cases are associated with obesity. Bariatric surgery has been shown to reduce the risk of hormone-related cancers, including endometrial cancer, by up to 70-80%. This prospective, study of 80 patients will be randomized to either a standard education for weight loss provided by their oncologist or a standard education plus a 15-minute video with information regarding obesity, relationship of obesity and endometrial cancer, and the safety and benefits of bariatric surgery.
