What is the correlation between these new weight loss drugs and MTC? Why is it so bad to continue the drugs if you have MTC?
In: Biology
Correlations between thyroid cancer and GLP1 agonists have been seen in animal studies and in some human studies.
Overall these aren’t recommended for those with thyroid cancers (or with genetics that cause increased risk for thyroid cancers) as the risk of cancer far outweighs any potential benefits from treating weight loss or diabetes (esp when there are alternative diabetes medications)
