Semaglutide May Reduce The Risk Of Some Cancers By 65%
Aug 21st 2024
Are you concerned about developing obesity related cancers?
Unfortunately, unhealthy weight and obesity can lead to multiple types of cancer and related death. Semaglutide may substantially reduce your risk of developing cancer, in addition to helping you lose weight.
In July of 2024, the Journal of the American Medical Association published a new and significant study providing evidence that people with type 2 diabetes, who take semaglutide, may be less likely to develop certain forms of cancer.
The study, which pulled from the medical data of 1,651,452 patients across 13 years, compared those with type 2 diabetes who had been prescribed a GLP-1, insulin, or metformin. The study found people taking semaglutide had less risk of developing 10 of these obesity-associated cancers, including esophageal, colorectal, endometrial, gallbladder, kidney, liver, ovarian, pancreatic cancer, meningioma and multiple myeloma.
Although more research and trials are needed, the research team found that people with type 2 diabetes on GLP-1 drugs compared to those on insulin had reduced risk of multiple cancers including the following:
65% reduced risk of gallbladder cancer 63% reduced risk of meningioma
59% reduced risk of pancreatic cancer
53% reduced risk of a type of liver cancer called hepatocellular carcinoma
48% reduced risk of ovarian cancer 46% reduced risk of colorectal cancer
41% reduced risk of multiple myeloma 40% reduced risk of esophageal cancer
26% reduced risk of endometrial cancer
24% reduced risk of kidney cancer
