Can Ozempic prevent cancer? A doctor explains why the headlines are easy to misread
AI Summary

Instead, the healthier lifestyle, economic status, and better access to care among patients could be influencing factors. This complexity highlights the need for more precise research to accurately determine the drug's role in cancer prevention, ensuring we don't misinterpret the data due to broader health disparities.
