Weight Loss Injections Show Promising Anti-Cancer Effects Beyond Weight Reduction

11 days ago

• Research presented at the European Congress on Obesity suggests weight loss injections may reduce obesity-related cancer risk by nearly 50%, potentially through anti-inflammatory mechanisms beyond simple weight reduction. • Scientists from the University of Manchester are designing a large-scale clinical trial involving tens of thousands of patients to further investigate GLP-1 agonists as cancer prevention tools. • Experts believe these findings could herald a "new dawn" in preventative cancer medicine, potentially benefiting even non-obese individuals with high cancer risk factors.
