Om avsnittet

Welcome to the latest Hot Topics podcast from NB Medical with Dr Neal Tucker. Three great pieces of research, all from the New England Journal of Medicine, to discuss today.

First up. Retatrutide - how effective is this injectable weight-loss medication? Can it help other problems like knee OA and OSA? Is there a downside?

Second, starting statins in the elderly. Is there any benefit in over-70-year-olds?

Third, can the Galleri multi-cancer early detection blood test improve the stage of cancer at diagnosis? We now have strong NHS data, but what does it show?
