Semaglutide, a long-acting GLP-1 agonist, exhibited a sustained weight decrease of approximately 15% of body weight in clinical studies, whereas tirzepatide, a combination GIP/GLP-1 agonist, attained a weight loss of up to 22.5% in the SURMOUNT trials [36,37]
As discussed above, this is inactive and raises during times of stress, fasting, and trauma
Some remarkable results are the decline of PSA after combination of metformin with bicalutamide after 8 weeks (42.1% bicalutamide + metformin vs 11.1% only bicalutamide) in PC patients with overweight (ClinicalTrial.gov ID NCT02614859), and with castration after 7 months (placebo PSA 58.2 ng/mL vs metformin PSA 8.36 ng/mL, ClinicalTrial.gov ID NCT01620593, [191]), and its detection in the prostatic tissue after consumption for 12 weeks, but without changes in tumor progression markers (ClinicalTrials.gov ID NCT01433913, [192])

They demonstrated that the positive feedback of an objective demonstration of improvement is especially valuable for patients treated with nonoperative therapies that result in slow changes to the chest shape over a relatively long period of time.[93] 3D scanning technology is a promising adjunctive technology that can easily be incorporated into the clinical environment for the severity assessment of pectus defects and for monitoring of nonoperative therapies ( Table 1 )
