About this trial
This is a feasibility study to gain an understanding of the willingness of women with a history of early stage breast cancer and current obesity to enroll in a weight-loss study, accept an assigned intervention (bariatric surgery with lifestyle intervention or lifestyle intervention alone), and comply with the study plan for 1 year. If there is successful enrollment in this study, the plan is to use what is learned in this study to design a larger, longer-term clinical trial to look at the effect of weight loss and incidence of cancer recurrence.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Diagnosis of breast cancer in the previous 10 years and currently disease free.
Completion of breast cancer treatment (radiation, chemotherapy) at least > 6 months prior to enrollment
Body mass index (BMI) of ≥ 35 kg/m2, but < 50 kg/m2.
18 through 67 years of age at enrollment
Disqualifiers
Cardiovascular event (myocardial infarction, acute coronary syndrome, coronary artery angioplasty or bypass, stroke) in the past six months.
Current evidence of congestive heart failure, angina pectoris, or symptomatic peripheral vascular disease.
Cardiac stress test indicating that surgery or lifestyle would not be safe.
12-lead EKG indicating that surgery would not be safe.

Treatments tested in this trial
Bariatric Surgery with Sleeve Gastrectomy
Procedure/SurgeryStandard of care bariatric surgery with sleeve gastrectomy
Lifestyle Intervention
BehavioralAll participants receive lifestyle intervention. The lifestyle intervention program is modeled closely after that used in the Diabetes Primary Prevention Trial and the LookAHEAD diabetes treatment studies. Intervention includes counseling sessions weekly for the first six months, twice a month during months 7-9, and monthly during months 10-12, and energy intake and exercise goal monitoring and guidance.
