Popis: Diabetes mellitus and cancer are the most common life-threatening illnesses worldwide. Previous epidemiologic studies have suggested a strong association between increased risk of cancer and diabetes mellitus. Potential biological mechanisms underlying the relationship include obesity, hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, chronic inflammation, and oxidative stress. The most common diabetes-related cancers are pancreatic cancer, hepatocellular cancer, breast cancer, endometrial cancer, and colorectal cancer. Special attention should be paid to diabetic patients using careful cancer screening and providing preventive anti-cancer strategies.
