In oncology, cancer treatment is based on other methods, such as surgery, chemotherapy or radiotherapy, and Mounjaro is not part of standard cancer therapy.
Mounjaro (active substance: tirzepatide) is approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and to support weight loss in people who are obese or overweight, but is not indicated or approved for use in cancer therapy.
Although some studies suggest that GLP-1 receptor analogues, such as tirzepatide, may affect the risk of certain cancers, such as colon cancer, Mounjaro is currently not used as an anti-cancer drug and is not approved for such use.
If you wish to use Mounjaro in cancer patients, you should consult a specialist doctor, as this drug has specific indications and contraindications, and its off-label use may be associated with risks and lack of efficacy.
