Insulin glargine is used in the treatment of diabetes. A new study conducted by RIVM in association with the Leiden Academic Centre for Drug Research found no evidence for increased incidence of breast cancer in mice receiving insulin glargine. The study results are in line with previous studies that found insulin glargine did not increase the risk of breast cancer in patients with diabetes.
