The potential role of GLP-1 receptor agonist targeting in fertility-sparing treatment in obese patients with endometrial malignant pathology: a call for research

There is an unmet-need for a personalized treatment approach in cases of first-line progestin treatment failure. Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists are a class of anti-diabetic agents, but may have a role in fertility-sparing treatment of obese patients with malignant endometrial pathology by reducing weight, decreasing inflammation, and decreasing insulin resistance; these changes may also improve chances of subsequent pregnancy. This hypothesis warrants further exploration.
