diabetes and cancer; the potential biological mechanisms linking diabetes, obesity and …

Cancer incidence appears to be increased in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM).
DM represents a risk factor for cancer, particularly hepatocellular, hepatobiliary, pancreas …

An association between type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) and cancer has long been postulated,
but the biological mechanism responsible for this association has not been defined. In part …

Diabetes mellitus is a serious and growing health problem worldwide and is associated with
severe acute and chronic complications. Moreover, epidemiologic evidence suggests that …

Background An increasing number of studies have investigated associations of antidiabetes
medications with cancer risk. Antidiabetes medications are classified by their mechanisms of …

Diabetes and cancer are two heterogeneous, multifactorial, severe, and chronic diseases.
Because of their frequency, reciprocal influences–even minor influences–may have a major …

Debate is ongoing regarding the relationship between type 2 diabetes and cancer, and the
pathways linking the two are incompletely understood. Some posit that the relationship …

The results of two independent, observational studies suggest that antidiabetic medications
might have differential effects on cancer risk in patients with diabetes mellitus. Should these …

Epidemiological studies have identified positive associations between diabetes, obesity and
cancer. Insulin, metformin and thiazolidinediones (TDZs) are among the major diabetes …

Diabetes, especially type 2, is associated with higher risk of certain types of cancer. Potential
mecha‑nisms underlying increased cancer risk in diabetics remain unclear. Insulin …
