| Popis: | Pancreatic cancer is one of the most aggressive malignant diseases due high rate of recurrence and the lack effective medical therapy. Surgery remains the only option for curable treatment but unfortunately, less than 20% of patients are eligibles at the time of diagnosis therefore identifying the risk factors represent a big step for cancer research. Pancreatic cancer is frequently associated with diabetes or glucose intolerance. There are two hypotheses at the base of this observation: either the diabetes cause pancreatic cancer or is a concequences of the cancer. In these theses we studied the patients diagnosticated with pancreatic cancer and with diabetes mellitus type 2. A total of 256 pancreatic cancer cases were identified and 71 patients had diabetes mellitus and 21 patients had glucose intolerance. Mean age 62.2 years, 81% cases were male and in 71% cancer originated form the pancreatic head. In 51.4% cases the diagnosis was in stage IV of the disease. Patients with pancreatic cancer and diabetes mellitus had reduced survival compared with those without diabetes but the difference was not statistically significant. Diabetes mellitus is associated with a decreased survival among patients with pancreatic cancer and reveal a link between chronic glucose intolerance and pancreatic cancer survival. The complex relationship between pancreatic cancer and diabetes requires more clinical research in order to developed new therapeutical posibilities. |
