A new Penn Medicine study of more than 110,000 women found that those who took GLP-1 medications were about 30% less likely to develop breast cancer than those who did not.

Presented this week at the 2026 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting by Elizabeth McDonald, MD, PhD, director of Breast MRI at Penn Medicine, the research opens exciting new doors.

While observational, the data suggest these widely used medications might help inhibit tumor growth by reducing systemic inflammation and targeting cancer pathways.

“Ultimately, we want to find better options to prevent breast cancer,” said McDonald. “We’d love to see the same gains in prevention.”

Up next: Our researchers are actively working to launch a multisite clinical trial to formally test GLP-1s for breast cancer prevention in high-risk individuals.
