There's no evidence that GLP-1s cause cancer in any meaningful amount, but obesity definitely does. Either way the only cancer they found any correlation to was thyroid which is one of the most treatable -- over 99% survival rates.

While thyroid cancer is highly treatable, the type of thyroid cancer that GLP-1 drugs cause is the rare and untreatable variety.
