- 2015 August 7, Qi Pan et al., “Metformin can block precancerous progression to invasive tumors of bladder through inhibiting STAT3-mediated signaling pathways”, in Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research : CR[1], volume 34, :
- Essentially, metformin has little ability to inhibit uroepithelial transformation, but could almost completely block progression of preneoplasms or non-invasive tumors, because no invasive cancer and sarcoma was observed in metformin-treated rats and the tumors in metformin-treated group were limited at the stages of dysplasia, papillary tumor or CIS.
