The drug pioglitazone appears to reprogram cancer cells’ metabolism, essentially starving them of the energy needed to multiply and spread.

The medication works by targeting a protein called PPAR (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma), which plays a crucial role in both diabetes and cancer pathways.

The research team examined data from 69 prostate cancer patients with type 2 diabetes who had undergone radical prostatectomy.
