     Essentially, metformin has little ability to inhibit uroepithelial transformation, but could almost completely block progression of preneoplasms or non-invasive tumors, because no invasive cancer and sarcoma was observed in metformin-treated rats and the tumors in metformin-treated group were limited at the stages of dysplasia, papillary tumor or CIS.
