Despite growing attention to the role of diabetes medications such as metformin in breast cancer treatment, research remains limited to mechanistic studies and retrospective clinical analyses. The optimal dose for clinical use remains unclear, which highlights the need for further experimental studies. This study provides valuable insights for both academic and clinical research, supporting the potential use of metformin to manage the relationship between diabetes and breast cancer.
