GLP-1 Medicines and Skin Cancer Risk in Adults with Type 2 Diabetes

Updated

Abstract

The association between glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) and skin cancer risk remains inconclusive.

  • GLP-1RAs may be linked to the risk of melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer.
  • The study compares GLP-1RAs with sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) and dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors (DPP4is).
  • Participants in the study are adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D).
  • Existing evidence on this topic has shown mixed results.
