ASCO 2026: GLP-1 Receptor Agonists May Reduce Mortality in Patients With Cancer

In this interview with Pharmacy Times at the 2026 American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting, Jessica Paulus, ScD, Vice President, Real-World Research, Ontada, discusses new research showing a 34% reduction in mortality among patients with 6 cancer types—including breast, prostate, colorectal, hepatocellular, and renal cell carcinoma—who received glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists. Paulus explains that although the epidemiologic study was not designed to determine causation, potential mechanisms may include reduced inflammation, improved glycemic control, decreased adipose tissue burden, and possible direct effects on cancer cell proliferation.
