Diabetes increases cancer mortality risk for some cancer types.
2004 SEP 2 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Diabetes increases the risk of cancer mortality for some types of cancer.
According to recent research from the United States, "Several studies have suggested that diabetes mellitus may alter the risk of developing a variety of cancers, and the associations are biologically plausible. To learn more about the relation between diabetes and cancer mortality, the authors examined associations with selected cancers in a large, prospective US cohort of 467,922 men and 588,321 women who had no reported history of cancer at enrollment in 1982."
"After 16 years of mortality follow-up, diabetes was significantly associated with fatal colon cancer in men (multivariate relative risk (RR)=1.20, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.06, 1.37) and women (RR=1.24, 95% CI: 1.07, 1.43) and with pancreatic cancer in men (RR=1.48, 95% CI: 1.27, 1.73) and women (RR=1.44, 95% CI: 1.21, 1.72)," reported Steven S. Coughlin at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and collaborators at the American Cancer Society. "For men, diabetes was significantly associated with liver cancer (RR=2.19, 95% CI: 1.76, 2.72) and bladder cancer (RR=1.43, 95% CI: 1.14, 1.80)."
"In addition, diabetes was significantly associated with breast cancer in women (RR=1.27, 95% CI: 1.11, 1.45)," stated ...
