Abstract in brief
- Metformin, a widely used antidiabetic drug, shows promise as an anticancer agent due to its safety, low cost, and ability to reduce cancer risk and mortality, though its precise mechanisms are not fully understood.
- Its antitumor effects are thought to involve changes in energy metabolism, occurring through two main pathways: direct effects on cancer cells independent of blood glucose and insulin, and indirect effects driven by systemic metabolic changes related to blood glucose and insulin levels.
- The review discusses how metformin's mechanisms relate to the hallmarks of cancer, exploring its potential for repurposing as a cancer therapeutic and highlighting areas for future research.

Metformin is one of the most commonly prescribed anti-diabetic drugs worldwide. Its history can be traced back to 1918 when guanidine, found in traditional herbal medicine in Europe known as Galega officinalis, was shown to lower glycemia https://t.co/ad60pp2SJ6 cancer hallmarks
