A member asked:
If someone is diagnosed with endometrial cancer stage 3b, could they live longer with it if they lost weight and weren't obese anymore?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Losing weight can: help decrease complications associated with surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation treatment associated with the cancer treatment. But for the cancer itself losing weight won't offer any additional benefits. Good luck and God bless the patient.
