The Potential Role of Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 (GLP-1) Receptor Agonists as a Type of Conservative Treatment of Endometrial Cancer in Women of Reproductive Age: A Review of the Literature and a Call for Study.

Endometrial cancer (EC) is among the most common gynecological malignancies in developed countries and its occurrence has been increasing dramatically in the past few years. An in-depth knowledge of the causes of endometrial cancer, such as unopposed estrogen, insulin resistance, and chronic inflammation, has resulted in the suggestion of numerous interventions to decrease the occurrence of this cancer. Recent research has established a connection between obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with a higher chance of developing endometrial cancer, suggesting that insulin resistance is a key factor in its onset.
