The aim of this article is to describe factors influencing the bioavailability of orally administered drugs after bariatric surgery and to provide readers with practical recommendations for drug dosing. We also discuss the medications that may be harmful after bariatric surgery.</p><p><strong>Recent findings: </strong>The fundamental factors for enteral drug absorption are the production of gastric acid; the preserved length of the intestine, i.e., the size of the absorption surface and/or the preserved enterohepatic circulation; and the length of common loop where food and drugs are mixed with digestive enzymes and bile acids. Bypassing of metabolizing enzymes or efflux pumps and changes in intestinal motility can also play an important role. Significant changes of drug absorption early after the anatomic alteration may also be gradually ameliorated due to gradual intestinal adaptation. The most affected drugs are those with low or variable bioavailability and those undergoing enterohepatic circulation. Attention should also be paid to oral drug formulations, especially in the early postoperative period, when immediate-release and liquid formulations are preferred. The changes in oral bioavailability are especially clinically meaningful in patients treated with drugs possessing narrow therapeutic index (e.g., oral anticoagulants, levothyroxine, and anticonvulsants) or in acute conditions (e.g., anti-infectives); nevertheless, it may also influence the therapeutic value of chronic therapy (e.g., antidepressants. antihypertensives, antiplatelets, statins, PPIs, contraceptives, and analgesics); therapeutic effect of chronic therapy is further influenced by pharmacokinetic alterations resulting from weight loss.

Preventive (diet, physical exercise, obesity pharmacotherapy, bariatric surgery) measures, repurposing drugs, candidate therapeutic agents targeting oncogenic pathways of obesity and insulin resistance in leukemia as well as challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic are also discussed.</p><h3 data-test=\"abstract-sub-heading\">Recent Findings</h3><p>Obesity has been implicated in the development of 13 cancers, such as breast, endometrial, colon, renal, esophageal cancers, and multiple myeloma. Leukemia is estimated to account for approximately 2.5% and 3.1% of all new cancer incidence and mortality, respectively, while it represents the most frequent cancer in children younger than 5 years. Current evidence indicates that obesity may have an impact on the risk of leukemia. Increased birthweight may be associated with the development of childhood leukemia. Obesity is also associated with worse outcomes and increased mortality in leukemic patients. However, there are several limitations and challenges in meta-analyses and epidemiological studies. In addition, weight gain may occur in a substantial number of childhood ALL survivors while the majority of studies have documented an increased risk of relapse and mortality among patients with childhood ALL and obesity. The main pathophysiological pathways linking obesity to leukemia include bone marrow adipose tissue; hormones such as insulin and the insulin-like growth factor system as well as sex hormones; pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-6 and TNF-α; adipocytokines, such as adiponectin, leptin, resistin, and visfatin; dyslipidemia and lipid signaling; chronic low-grade inflammation and oxidative stress; and other emerging mechanisms.</p><h3 data-test=\"abstract-sub-heading\">Summary</h3><p>Obesity represents a risk factor for leukemia, being among the only known risk factors that could be prevented or modified through weight loss, healthy diet, and physical exercise.
