This systematic review aims to discuss the possible anticancer mechanism of action of metformin. METHOD: A search through different databases was conducted, including Medline and EMBASE. RESULTS: A total of 96 articles were identified of which 56 were removed for duplication and 24 were excluded after reviewing the title and abstract. A total of 12 research articles were included that describe different antiproliferative mechanisms that may contribute to the antineoplastic effects of metformin. CONCLUSION: This analysis discussed the potential anticancer activity of metformin and highlighted the importance of AMPK as a potential target for anticancer therapy.
