Are there medications that promote the body to become cancerous? The answer is yes. When the insert that comes with a medication has a black box warning which states,
“Counsel patients regarding the potential risk for MTC (Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma or Medullary Thyroid Cancer) with the use of semaglutide and inform them of symptoms of thyroid tumors (e.g., a mass in the neck, dysphagia (difficulty or pain when swallowing), dyspnea, persistent hoarseness)….” Other medications carry different black box warnings, warning about the risk of cancers.
Now why would they use the word “counsel” versus “warn” because warning would be a much stronger position against use and might be more convincing to patient to reject the use of the medication. While counseling them indicates it is not that severe. However, when the user develops cancer cells it will be severe to them.
