Synthesis and structure-activity studies on novel analogs of human growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) with enhanced inhibitory activities on tumor growth
Identifying additional benefits could help us understand the biological pathways influenced by these drugs and uncover new opportunities for disease prevention and treatment, including cancer prevention. Aparna Kamat, MD Kamat is the senior author of a new study published in the journal Annals of Oncology that found a potential link between taking GLP-1 medications, such as Ozempic , Wegovy , Zepbound , and Mounjaro , and a decrease in the overall risk of developing obesity-related cancers in people without diabetes
To maximise treatment effectiveness, consider implementing these evidence-based strategies: Choose a convenient, memorable day for your weekly injectionmany patients select the same day they attend religious services, do weekly shopping, or have other regular commitments Prepare your injection supplies in advance , ensuring you have alcohol swabs, a sharps container, and your Ozempic pen readily accessible Rotate injection sites systematically between your abdomen, thigh, or upper arm to reduce the risk of injection-site reactions and maintain consistent absorption [1] [2] Monitor your blood glucose levels as recommended by your healthcare team, keeping a record to identify patterns and assess treatment effectiveness Attend regular follow-up appointments with your GP or diabetes specialist nurse for ongoing assessment, dose adjustments, and HbA1c monitoring According to NICE guidelines for type 2 diabetes management (NG28), GLP-1 receptor agonists like Ozempic should be continued only if they produce beneficial metabolic responses when used for type 2 diabetes, typically defined as a reduction in HbA1c of at least 11 mmol/mol (1.0%) and weight loss of at least 3% of initial body weight at six months
