Diabetes and cancer risk links
A recent Danish study confirmed that type 2 diabetes is associated with an increased risk of developing several types of cancer, especially those linked to obesity such as kidney, pancreatic, and liver cancers. The risk among those affected increased by up to 45% in men and 30% in women. Additionally, the risk of colorectal cancer rose by 17%, and lung cancer by 25% during the 27-year study period, which included over 75,000 cancer cases among those with diabetes and 635,000 among those without. This increase is attributed to higher levels of hormones and insulin associated with increased body fat, and it is expected that rates of both cancer and diabetes will continue to rise in the coming years.
