Risk of liver cancer and death in people starting GLP-1 drugs compared to other diabetes treatments

Updated

Abstract

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA) may be linked to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) incidence.

  • The association between GLP-1 RA initiation and the risk of developing HCC compared to other glucose-lowering medications is unclear.
  • Evidence regarding GLP-1 RA and mortality risk after HCC diagnosis is also mixed.
  • Further investigation is needed to clarify these associations.
