Ali Aminian

Ali Aminian has published landmark matched cohort studies demonstrating that bariatric surgery is associated with a 32 percent reduction in cancer incidence and 48 percent reduction in cancer-related mortality compared to non-surgical obesity management. His rigorous epidemiological analyses using large healthcare databases have provided the strongest evidence to date linking surgical weight loss to cancer prevention. He leads ongoing studies investigating the optimal timing, type, and magnitude of weight loss surgery needed for maximum cancer risk reduction.
