Sodium‐glucose co‐transporter 2 inhibitors and obesity‐associated cancers in people with type 2 diabetes: A real‐world observational study

In this large real-world study of individuals with T2D, initiation of SGLT-2i was not associated with higher or lower rates of OAC compared with DPP-4i. However, initiation of SGLT-2i was associated with a modestly lower rate of the all-cancer outcome, the clinical significance of which remains unclear.

Abstract

In this large real-world study of individuals with T2D, initiation of SGLT-2i was not associated with higher or lower rates of OAC compared with DPP-4i. However, initiation of SGLT-2i was associated with a modestly lower rate of the all-cancer outcome, the clinical significance of which remains unclear.
