Summary
Welcome back to That Cancer Conversation!
Drugs like Mounjaro and Wegovy are helping millions of people across the UK lose weight faster and more effectively. That’s important for us, because obesity is one of the leading preventable causes of cancer. So, with obesity and cancer on the rise around the world, could weight loss drugs be a way for us to tackle them both together?
To help break down the science of weight loss injections and how they work, we’re joined by Dr Rachel Orritt, one of our health information managers at Cancer Research UK. We also speak to Dr Matthew Harris, a surgeon and Cancer Research UK Clinical Research Fellow, about how he and his fellow researchers are working to answer the long list of questions we still have about weight loss drugs and cancer.
