"A research letter recently published in JAMA Oncology has provided some promising insights into the potential of Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) in lowering the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) among patients with type 2 diabetes. The study involved a national retrospective analysis of more than 1.2 million patients with type 2 diabetes, treated between 2005 and 2019. The findings were remarkable, showing that GLP-1 RAs reduced the risk for colorectal cancer by 44% compared with insulin and by 25% compared with metformin. This risk reduction was observed across the board, in overweight, obese, and nonobese patients alike."
