Why You May Have Pancreatic Cancer After Taking Byetta
Ultimately, this may be a question for your doctor and/or medical researchers. It is possible that you would’ve developed pancreatic cancer even if you had never taken Byetta. However, it is important for you to know that in March 2013 the FDA announced that it was investigating the possible link between Byetta, pancreatitis, and pancreatic cancer. Specifically, the FDA announced that it was evaluating the results of unpublished reports which found a possible connection between Byetta and pancreatic cancer. The studies indicated that Byetta, and other drugs like it, could cause precancerous changes in the pancreas or, more specifically, pancreatic duct metaplasia.
