Serum GLP-1 as a Novel Biomarker for Endometrial Cancer Detection in Obese Women

Highlight

  • Serum GLP-1 levels decrease progressively from endometrial polyp through hyperplasia to endometrial cancer in obese, non-diabetic women.
  • Lower GLP-1 levels independently predict presence of endometrial cancer with high diagnostic accuracy (AUC 0.94).
  • GLP-1 correlates negatively with age and systemic inflammation marker CRP, but its cancer association persists after adjustment.
  • Potential utility of GLP-1 as an adjunct biomarker for risk stratification in obese women with abnormal uterine bleeding.
