GLP-1 drugs, like Ozempic and Mounjaro, keep doing things in places that have nothing to do with appetite. Bladder cancer is the newest. In high-risk early bladder cancer treated with BCG, patients who happened to be on a GLP-1 were 57% less likely to progress to invasive disease, and 35% less likely to die of any cause. Almost 1,600 patients, matched head to head. Read the fine print before you celebrate. This is propensity-matched data, so it’s a strong association and the randomized trial hasn’t happened. Then the strange part. The tumor recurrence rate didn’t budge at all, only the progression and the deaths did, which is a real clue about how a hunger drug might be touching cancer at all.
#ASCO26 Provocative PSM data presented evaluating GLP-1 RA exposure in high-risk NMIBC patients receiving BCG: After matching: 🔹 791 GLP-1RA exposed patients 🔹 787 matched controls GLP-1RA exposure was associated with: 🔹 Reduced risk of progression to MIBC →RR 0.43 (p=0.018)
Studies suggest role of GLP-1s in cancer prevention, including the anti-inflammatory properties of these drugs. The studies presented at American Society of Clinical Oncology #ASCO meeting throws some interesting insights. reuters.com/business/healt…

Brilliant news. Not full screening for every man yet, but a genuine step in the right direction. The extra £18m for the TRANSFORM trial will help find the best way to screen men for prostate cancer, with all eligible Black men aged 45 to 74 invited to take part. Not a national programme, but excellent progress. Well done to all involved.
BIG NEWS 📢 The Government has announced up to £18 million in additional funding for TRANSFORM - recognising the crucial role our trial is playing in shaping the future of #ProstateCancer screening. ➡️ Read more: bit.ly/4x9jOVE #MensHealth l #Screening
