Being overweight is not a poor risk factor for survival in patients with gastric cancer, although it is independently predictive of postoperative complications.

We concluded that patients with thoracic esophageal cancer could undergo a three-field dissection in comparative safety if the patients were provided with corticosteroid medication in the perioperative period, if the patients received sufficient respiratory physiotherapy, and if surgical blood loss was reduced.

Accumulation of fat did not affect short-term surgical outcomes except for the duration of surgery and intraoperative blood loss in male patients.
