Trial of Behavioral Weight Loss and Metformin Treatment to Lower Insulin Growth Factor in Cancer Survivors

This is a prospective, single-center randomized trial with three arms, and an allocation
ratio of 1:1:1. The study design is an efficacy study to evaluate the effect of metformin and
coach-directed behavioral weight loss versus self-directed weight loss on IGF-1 and IGF-1 to
THE IGFBP-III ratio blood levels after 6 and 12 months of intervention. The coach-directed

oral metformin. This is a secondary prevention study for men and women who have survived
solid malignant tumors
