Absolutely incredible. This from a drug that was *not* designed to attack tumors. Far more impactful than almost any other single treatment we’ve tried over the last few decades. Imagine what could happen when we actively start fine tuning it for cancer treatment.
Avi Roy@agingroy· May 22, 2026Eli Lilly released retatrutide Phase 3 data yesterday. 28% weight loss in 80 weeks. The most powerful obesity drug that’s ever been tested.
And today the cancer signal drops.
12,112 patients. Seven tumor types. GLP-1 users had half the lung cancer metastasis rate (10% vs 22%).

I know it’s wrong, but I keep reading the name of the drug as Retardatide and thinking ok you lose a few iq points, but at least you’re thin
