People with diabetes are at increased risk of cancer: study Reuters
05/2011 17:05From a telephone survey of nearly 400,000 adults, the study, whose results were published in the journal Diabetes Care, found that 16 out of 100 diabetic men and 17 out of 100 diabetic women said they had cancer.
That compared with seven of 100 men and 10 100 women without diabetes.
"The significant association between cancer and diabetes is not surprising," said Li Chaoyang, an epidemiologist at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC), author of the study.
Li told Reuters Health that other studies also found an association between diabetes and cancer, although there is evidence that a condition causes the other.
According to the CDC, 9 percent of U.S. adults have diabetes.
After consider factors such as age, race, smoking and alcohol consumption habits, researchers concluded that men and women with diabetes were 10 percent more likely to have had a diagnosis of cancer of some sort.
Compared with people without diabetes, diabetic male patients were more likely to report cancer of the colon, pancreas, rectum, bladder, kidney and prostate. Diabetic women had more cancer cases mamario, leucemia o un tipo de tumor uterino.
En los hombres, el mayor riesgo fue de cáncer pancreático, con 16 de cada 10.000 casos entre diabéticos y sólo dos de cada 10.000 entre personas no diabéticas.
El riesgo femenino de leucemia también trepó drásticamente. Una de cada 1.000 mujeres sin diabetes dijo haber sido diagnosticada con el cáncer sanguíneo, comparado con tres de cada 1.000 mujeres con la enfermedad del azúcar en sangre.
Li dijo que aun no está claro por qué la diabetes está relacionada con el cáncer. Los niveles elevados de azúcar en sangre o el exceso de insulina en la sangre podrían aumentar risk, but this has not been tested.
