Popis: BACKGROUND Although diabetes mellitus is a risk factor for cancer, the relationship of an increased glucose concentration at a non-diabetic glucose level with cancer mortality is yet to be determined.

METHODS Population-based prospective cohort studies evaluating cancer mortality at the non-diabetic level (defined as fasting plasma glucose
