Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the association between sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i) and the risk of neoplasm in patients with Type 2 diabetes (T2D).
Methods: Literature retrieval was conducted using databases from inception to June 2024. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing SGLT-2i with placebo or other treatments in patients with T2D, and with reports of neoplasm events were included. Results were computed as the risk ratio (RR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI).
Results: A total of 53 RCTs with 126,232 participants were included. No significant differences were found for the risk of overall neoplasm (RR = 1.08, 95% CI: 0.99 to 1.19, I2 = 23%) in patients with SGLT-2i treatment compared with non-users. However, decreased risk of pulmonary neoplasm (RR = 0.83, 95% CI: 0.69 to 0.99, I2 = 0.0%) was observed in SGLT-2i users compared to non-users, while increased risk of prostate neoplasm in SGLT-2i users was found (RR = 1.21, 95% CI: 1.00 to 1.47, I2 = 0.0%).
Conclusion: Compared with non-users, the use of SGLT-2i was not associated with the risk of overall neoplasm. However, pulmonary neoplasms were less frequent in SGLT-2i users, while an increased risk of prostate neoplasm was observed in SGLT-2i users compared to non-users.

期刊介绍:
Advances in drug development technologies are yielding innovative new therapies, from potentially lifesaving medicines to lifestyle products. In recent years, however, the cost of developing new drugs has soared, and concerns over drug resistance and pharmacoeconomics have come to the fore. Adverse reactions experienced at the clinical trial level serve as a constant reminder of the importance of rigorous safety and toxicity testing. Furthermore the advent of pharmacogenomics and ‘individualized’ approaches to therapy will demand a fresh approach to drug evaluation and healthcare delivery.
Clinical Pharmacology provides an essential role in integrating the expertise of all of the specialists and players who are active in meeting such challenges in modern biomedical practice.
