metformin and Gallbladder Neoplasms

metformin has been researched along with Gallbladder Neoplasms in 3 studies

Metformin: A biguanide hypoglycemic agent used in the treatment of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus not responding to dietary modification. Metformin improves glycemic control by improving insulin sensitivity and decreasing intestinal absorption of glucose. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p289)
metformin : A member of the class of guanidines that is biguanide the carrying two methyl substituents at position 1.

Gallbladder Neoplasms: Tumors or cancer of the gallbladder.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Gallbladder cancer is the most common biliary tract cancer with poor prognosis and wide variation in incidence rates worldwide, being very high in some countries in Latin America and Asia."1.56Anti-diabetic drug metformin inhibits cell proliferation and tumor growth in gallbladder cancer via G0/G1 cell cycle arrest. ( Chiyo, T; Fujihara, S; Iwama, H; Kamada, H; Kato, K; Kobara, H; Kobayashi, K; Masaki, T; Morishita, A; Okano, K; Suzuki, Y; Tsutsui, K; Yamana, H; Yamashita, T, 2020)
"Metformin has been identified as an antitumor drug in various tumor types."1.48Metformin suppresses hypoxia‑induced migration via the HIF‑1α/VEGF pathway in gallbladder cancer in vitro and in vivo. ( Chen, K; Li, R; Qi, L; Tang, H; Ye, J; Zhai, W; Zhou, C, 2018)
