GLP-1 Agonist Use Among Men With Localized Prostate Cancer: A Narrative Review and Rationale for Prospective Clinical Trials

Research output: Contribution to journalReview articlepeer-review

Abstract

Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists are a revolutionary treatment for obesity, and investigations into other uses of these agents are ongoing. Epidemiologic data suggest that prostate cancer risk may decrease following GLP-1 receptor agonist initiation. To better define the potential role of GLP-1 receptor agonist use among men with prostate cancer, we will define changes that occur in men with prostate cancer following lifestyle intervention; illuminate the current relationship between these interventions and prostate cancer risk; and explore the potential mechanism of action on tumor biology, providing rationale for evaluating its effects on prostate cancer in a planned clinical trial.
