Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To systematically evaluate the relationship of semaglutide with malignant neoplasms in type 2 diabetes mellitus （T2DM） patients. METHODS Retrieved from the Cochrane Library， PubMed， Embase， ClinicalTrials.gov， CNKI， Wanfang data and CBM， randomized controlled trials （RCTs） about semaglutide in the treatment of T2DM patients with outcome measures including malignant tumor events were collected from the establishment of the database to June 2024. Meta- analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.3 software to assess the risk of malignant neoplasms. RESULTS A total of 24 RCTs （26 trials） involving 24 145 patients were included. Results of meta-analysis showed that compared to placebo， there was no statistical significance in the risk of semaglutide in pancreatic cancer [RR＝0.39， 95%CI（0.10， 1.50）， P＝0.17]， thyroid cancer [RR＝1.29， 95%CI（0.38， 4.36）， P＝0.68]， prostate cancer [RR＝1.05， 95%CI（0.36， 3.12）， P＝0.92]， skin cancer [RR＝1.27， 95%CI（0.80， 2.02）， P＝0.31]， gastrointestinal cancer [RR＝1.00， 95%CI（0.47， 2.14）， P＝1.00]， colorectal cancer [RR＝0.96， 95%CI（0.40， 2.26）， P＝0.92]， lung cancer [RR＝1.62， 95%CI（0.74， 3.55）， P＝0.23]， breast cancer [RR＝1.25， 95%CI（0.45， 3.51）， P＝0.67] or all malignant neoplasms [RR＝0.96， 95%CI（0.76， 1.21）， P＝0.73]. Compared to other antidiabetic drugs， there was no statistical significance in the risk of semaglutide in pancreatic cancer [RR＝0.62， 95%CI（0.18， 2.09）， P＝0.44]， thyroid cancer [RR＝1.09， 95%CI（0.25， 4.78）， P＝0.90]， prostate cancer [RR＝2.09， 95%CI（0.46， 9.47）， P＝0.34]， skin cancer [RR＝1.76， 95%CI（0.65， 4.72）， P＝0.26]， gastrointestinal cancer [RR＝0.68， 95%CI（0.19， 2.35）， P＝0.54]， colorectal cancer [RR＝0.60， 95%CI（0.20， 1.78）， P＝0.36]， lung cancer [RR＝1.00， 95%CI（0.24， 4.11）， P＝1.00]， breast cancer [RR＝0.82， 95%CI（0.25， 2.66）， P＝0.74] or all malignant neoplasms [RR＝1.36， 95%CI（0.96， 1.94）， P＝0.09]. CONCLUSIONS Semaglutide does not increase the risk of any type of malignant neoplasms in T2DM patients.
