“…SGLT2 has been found significantly expressed in lung cancer metastasis, pancreatic and prostate adenocarcinomas, high-grade glioblastoma patients, cisplatin-resistant hepatoblastoma, renal cell carcinoma and its increased expression is related to a poor prognosis and decreased overall survival rates [ 3 – 7 ]. Particularly, high glucose levels can directly promote cancer onset and development with different mechanisms, including hyperinsulinemia, inflammation and adipokines imbalance, as well as providing cancer cells with important metabolic substrates [ 8 , 9 ]. In this scenario, the SGLT2 inhibitors (iSGLT2), canagliflozin, dapagliflozin, tofogliflozin and empagliflozin, have been increasingly studied, given their strong anti-hyperglycemic activity as well as their emerging anticancer effects [ 8 , 10 ].…”
