In this video, we explore the potential link between GLP-1 receptor agonists, commonly used diabetes medications, and the risk of thyroid cancer. Medications like liraglutide and semaglutide are widely used to manage type 2 diabetes, but concerns have arisen from earlier studies about whether they could increase the risk of thyroid growths or cancer, particularly medullary thyroid cancer. We review findings from a recent study that followed patients on GLP-1 receptor agonists for nearly four years and compared them with those using DPP-4 inhibitors. The study found no significant increase in thyroid cancer risk. However, we also highlight why the comparison with DPP-4 inhibitors may not be ideal and why further research is still needed. Key considerations for now include avoiding GLP-1 therapies in people with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer or genetic conditions like multiple endocrine neoplasia types 2A or 2B. Current recommendations may change as more research emerges, but here's what we know so far. 🔍 Key topics covered: -What are GLP-1 receptor agonists? -Understanding thyroid cancer risks -Recent study results on GLP-1 drugs and cancer -Why comparisons with DPP-4 inhibitors might be limited -Current guidelines for GLP-1 use in at-risk populations For those managing type 2 diabetes or concerned about the risks of thyroid cancer, this video provides a balanced review of the latest evidence.
