Scientists probe Obesity's link to stomach cancer
NCT ID NCT07448896
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at stomach tissue from 100 obese patients undergoing weight-loss surgery and compares it to tissue from lean individuals. Researchers are counting immune cells called macrophages and mast cells, as well as blood vessel density, to see if obesity-related inflammation creates an environment that could lead to stomach cancer. The goal is to understand the earliest steps in that process.
