Hi Everyone - saw this recent research article in JAMA (Journal of American Medical Association- Oncology) and felt it would be a great summary and share. As always link to the original research article at the bottom (short summary available, full article requires paid subscription)
GLP-1 medications—such as Semaglutide and Tirzepatide—have already transformed how we approach medical weight loss, helping countless individuals achieve healthy, lasting results. Now, brand-new research published in JAMA Oncology reveals a compelling connection: women prescribed GLP-1s have a noticeably reduced risk of certain cancers, with major reductions seen in endometrial and ovarian cancer. These findings offer new hope for women, especially for those dealing with obesity-driven and estrogen-related cancers that can dramatically impact long-term health.
Researchers examined the records of over 86,000 adults with obesity from 2014–2024 and found that those taking GLP-1 medications had lower overall cancer rates, especially among women. Experts say that the key lies in how these medications promote safe weight loss, which in turn lowers fat-cell-produced estrogen and chronic inflammation—known contributors to cancer formation. Patients also report feeling lighter, healthier, more energetic, and motivated to maintain an active lifestyle, showing the emotional benefits of this science-driven care.
