The Risk of Cancer in Diabetes Patients: A Review
Journal Title: International Journal of Research and Review - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 8
Abstract
Diabetes and cancer are complicated, severe, homogenous and chronic fatal disease with tremendous impact on worldwide. One of the theory why diabetes and cancer link may exist is that high level of circulating insulin can promote the growth of tumours. The people with diabetes are more risk of many forms of cancer in which cancer is the second leading cause for death and diabetes is the seventh leading cause to death. The common risk factors that link diabetes and cancer is age, sex, obesity, physical activity, increased calorie intake, alcohol and smoking. The mechanism that increases the risk of cancer in diabetic patient is insulin resistance and hyperglycemia which leads to progression of cancer. The risks of cancer are shown to be higher in type II diabetes patients because in type II diabetes the body produces more insulin than normal. Thus we have concluded that diabetes is a high-risk state for several types of cancer. It is increased according to age, sex, obesity and decreased physical activity. The diabetes and cancer risk is higher in obese patients. However, most diabetes is not associated with the risk of cancer. Therefore, we can provide awareness of preventive strategies and public health policies to avoid overlapping burden of both diseases that already have tremendous impact on people health and economy. By providing awareness we can overcome the mortality rate of the both disease.
