435,000-person Scandinavian study finds no evidence linking long-term GLP-1 analogue use to thyroid cancer risk.

A large Scandinavian study, involving over 435,000 people, has found no evidence to suggest that long-term use of GLP-1 analogue medications, such as Wegovy and Ozempic, increases the risk of thyroid cancer. These drugs, used for treating diabetes and obesity, have previously been associated with an increased risk of thyroid tumours, but this study provides strong support that GLP-1 analogues are not associated with an increased risk of thyroid cancer.
