We identified those who initiated GLP‐1 RA, sodium‐glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i), or dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitor (DPP4i) and conducted 1:1 propensity score matching for confounding adjustment. Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HR) of nine obesity‐associated cancers (thyroid, pancreatic, bladder, colorectal, lung, kidney, breast, endometrial, and prostate cancer).ResultsIn the matched GLP‐1RA versus SGLT2i cohort (n = 21,362 pairs), GLP‐1RA users had similar overall cancer risk with SGLT2i users (HR, 1.03 [95% CI, 0.95–1.12]), but GLP‐1RAs were associated with an increased kidney cancer risk (HR, 1.43 [1.06–1.92]). In the matched GLP‐1RA versus DPP4i cohort (n = 20,962 pairs), the GLP‐1RA versus DPP4i comparison showed no significant difference in overall cancer risk (HR, 0.96 [0.89–1.04]) but revealed a significantly elevated endometrial cancer risk (HR, 1.55 [1.01–2.37]).ConclusionGLP‐1RAs might be associated with an increased risk of certain cancer types. Future studies are needed to validate the potential tumorigenic risk associated with GLP1‐RAs. 10.1002/oby.24366 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/
