Abstract
BACKGROUND Cancer has become the leading diabetes-related cause of death in high-income countries, and more knowledge is needed to clarify the impact of diabetes on site-specific cancers. The purpose of this study is to assess the association between diabetes and malignant melanoma by conducting a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis. METHODS Using predefined eligibility criteria, PubMed, The Cochrane Library and Web of Science were systematically searched up to February 22, 2023. Exposure was defined as diabetes or type 2 diabetes and the outcomes were defined as melanoma incidence, melanoma stage or melanoma-specific mortality. The identified articles were evaluated by two independent reviewers and quality assessment was conducted using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale for observational studies. Meta-analyses were conducted using RevMan 5.4.1 on melanoma risk using adjusted risk estimates and on melanoma stage using a dichotomous model. RESULTS The literature search revealed 20 studies in total eligible for inclusion, 14 for the analysis of melanoma risk, 3 for melanoma thickness and ulceration, and 4 for melanoma-specific survival. According to the meta-analyses, diabetes did not impact the risk of developing melanoma (RR:1.05, 95%CI:0.99-1.12, p = 0.10). However, type 2 diabetes was associated with more advanced melanoma stages at the time of diagnosis (Breslow-thickness > 1 mm: RR 1.35, 95%CI: 1.22-1.49, p = < 0.001) and presence of ulceration (RR 1.30, 95%CI: 1.00-1.68, p = 0.05). A meta-analysis on the association between diabetes and melanoma-specific mortality was not feasible due to diverse study designs. CONCLUSION Our meta-analysis found no association between diabetes and the risk of developing melanoma, but diabetes was associated with increased tumour thickness and the presence of ulceration at the time of diagnosis. Further research is warranted to explore the association between diabetes melanoma stage and prognosis. TRIAL REGISTRATION PROSPERO ID CRD42023394187.

Abstract
Globally, ovarian cancer is the eighth most common cancer in women, accounting for an estimated 3.7% of cases and 4.7% of cancer deaths in 2020. Until the early 2000s, age-standardized incidence was highest in northern Europe and North America, but this trend has changed; incidence is now declining in these regions and increasing in parts of eastern Europe and Asia. Ovarian cancer is a very heterogeneous disease and, even among the most common type, namely epithelial ovarian cancer, five major clinically and genetically distinct histotypes exist. Most high-grade serous ovarian carcinomas are now recognized to originate in the fimbrial ends of the fallopian tube. This knowledge has led to more cancers being coded as fallopian tube in origin, which probably explains some of the apparent declines in ovarian cancer incidence, particularly in high-income countries; however, it also suggests that opportunistic salpingectomy offers an important opportunity for prevention. The five histotypes share several reproductive and hormonal risk factors, although differences also exist. In this Review, we summarize the epidemiology of this complex disease, comparing the different histotypes, and consider the potential for prevention. We also discuss how changes in the prevalence of risk and protective factors might have contributed to the observed changes in incidence and what this might mean for incidence in the future.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and cancer are highly prevalent diseases imposing major health burden globally. Several epidemiological studies indicate increased susceptibility to cancer in T2DM patients. However, genetic factors linking T2DM with cancer have been poorly studied. In this study, we followed computational approaches using the raw gene expression data of peripheral blood mononuclear cells of T2DM and cancer patients available in the gene expression omnibus (GEO) database. Our analysis identified shared differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in T2DM and three common cancer types, namely, pancreatic cancer (PC), liver cancer (LC), and breast cancer (BC). The functional and pathway enrichment analysis of identified common DEGs highlighted the involvement of critical biological pathways, including cell cycle events, immune system processes, cell morphogenesis, gene expression, and metabolism. We retrieved the protein-protein interaction network for the top DEGs to deduce molecular-level interactions. The network analysis found 7, 6, and 5 common hub genes in T2DM vs. PC, T2DM vs. LC, and T2DM vs. BC comparisons, respectively. Overall, our analysis identified important genetic markers potentially able to predict the chances of PC, LC, and BC onset in T2DM patients.

Abstract
Background Cancer and diabetes are among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Several studies have reported diabetes as a risk factor for developing cancer, a relationship that may be explained by associated factors shared with both diseases such as age, sex, body weight, smoking, and alcohol consumption. Social factors referred to as social determinants of health (SDOH) were shown to be associated with the risk of developing cancer and diabetes. Despite that diabetes and social factors were identified as significant determinants of cancer, no studies examined their combined effect on the risk of developing cancer. In this study, we aim at filling this gap in the literature by triangulating the association between diabetes, indices of SDOH, and the risk of developing cancer. Methods We have conducted a quantitative study using data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), whereby information was collected nationally from residents in the United States (US) with respect to their health-related risk behaviors, chronic health conditions, and the use of preventive services. Data analysis using weighted regressions was conducted on 389,158 study participants. Results Our findings indicated that diabetes is a risk factor that increases the likelihood of cancer by 13% (OR 1.13; 95%CI: 1.05-1.21). People of White race had higher odds for cancer compared to African Americans (OR 0.44; 95%CI: 0.39-0.49), Asians (OR 0.27; 95%CI: 0.20-0.38), and other races (OR 0.56; 95%CI: 0.46-0.69). The indices of SDOH that were positively associated with having cancer encompassed unemployment (OR 1.78; 95%CI: 1.59-1.99), retirement (OR 1.54; 95%CI: 1.43-1.67), higher income levels with ORs ranging between 1.16-1.38, college education (OR 1.10; 95%CI: 1.02-1.18), college graduates (OR 1.31; 95%CI: 1.21-1.40), and healthcare coverage (OR 1.44; 95%CI: 1.22-1.71). On the other hand, the indices of SDOH that were protective against having cancer were comprised of renting a home (OR 0.86; 95%CI: 0.79-0.93) and never married (OR 0.73; 95%CI: 0.65-0.81). Conclusion This study offers a novel social dimension for the association between diabetes and cancer that could guide setting strategies for addressing social inequities in disease prevention and access to healthcare.

Abstract
More than 8000000 Germans suffer from diabetes. People with type-2-diabetes (T2D) are at increased risk of gastrointestinal adenocarcinomas. They often develop cancer at younger age and their tumor-specific 5-year-survival is generally shorter. Cancer has become the leading cause of death of T2D-patients. Both chronic hyperglycemia and insulin resistance can stimulate gastrointestinal (GI) tumor growth. T2D can cause colorectal, pancreatic, hepatocellular, biliary and gastric cancer as well as esophageal adenocarcinoma. Both low-risk lifestyle and gastrointestinal cancer screening are effective and reduce GI cancer risk and GI cancer mortality of T2D-patients.

Abstract
A recent World Health Organization report states that at least 40% of all cancer cases may be preventable, with smoking, alcohol consumption, and obesity identified as three of the most important modifiable lifestyle factors. Given the significant decline in smoking rates, particularly within developed countries, other potentially modifiable risk factors for head and neck cancer warrant investigation. Obesity and related metabolic disorders such as type 2 diabetes (T2D) and hypertension have been associated with head and neck cancer risk in multiple observational studies. However, adiposity has also been correlated with smoking, with bias, confounding or reverse causality possibly explaining these findings. To overcome the challenges of observational studies, we conducted two-sample Mendelian randomization (inverse variance weighted [IVW] method) using genetic variants which were robustly associated with adiposity, glycaemic and blood pressure traits in genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Outcome data were taken from the largest available GWAS of 6034 oral and oropharyngeal cases, with 6585 controls. We found limited evidence of a causal effect of genetically proxied body mass index (BMI; OR IVW = 0.89, 95% CI 0.72-1.09, p = 0.26 per 1 standard deviation in BMI [4.81kg/m2]) on oral and oropharyngeal cancer risk. Similarly, there was limited evidence for related traits including T2D and hypertension. Small effects cannot be excluded given the lack of power to detect them in currently available GWAS.

Abstract
Fatty liver is known to be associated with extra-hepatic diseases including atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and extra-hepatic cancers, which affect the prognosis and quality of life of the patients. The inter-organ crosstalk is mediated by metabolic abnormalities such as insulin resistance and visceral adiposity. Recently, metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) was proposed as a new definition for fatty liver. MAFLD is characterized by the inclusion criteria of metabolic abnormality. Therefore, MAFLD is expected to identify patients at high risk of extra-hepatic complications. In this review, we focus on the relationships between MAFLD and multi-organ diseases. We also describe the pathogenic mechanisms of the inter-organ crosstalk.

Abstract
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is one of the most common chronic autoimmune diseases, characterized by absolute insulin deficiency caused via inflammatory destruction of the pancreatic β-cell. Genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors play a role in the development of diseases. Almost ⅕ of cases involve people under the age of 20. In recent years, the incidence of both T1D and obesity has been increasing, especially among children, adolescents, and young people. In addition, according to the latest study, the prevalence of overweight or obesity in people with T1D has increased significantly. The risk factors of weight gain included using exogenous insulin, intensifying insulin therapy, fear of hypoglycemia and related decrease in physical activity, and psychological factors, such as emotional eating and binge eating. It has also been suggested that T1D may be a complication of obesity. The relationship between body size in childhood, increase in body mass index values in late adolescence and the development of T1D in young adulthood is considered. Moreover, the coexistence of T1D and T2D is increasingly observed, this situation is called double or hybrid diabetes. This is associated with an increased risk of the earlier development of dyslipidemia, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and consequently a shortening of life. Thus, the purpose of this review was to summarize the relationships between overweight or obesity and T1D.

Abstract
ZusammenfassungKrebs ist nun die führende Todesursache bei Typ-2-Diabetes mellitus (T2D). Prädiabetes und T2D erhöhen das Risiko für bestimmte Tumoren. Zu den Prädiabetes- bzw. T2D-assoziierten Malignomen zählen gastrointestinale, gynäkologische, urologische und endokrine Karzinome aber auch Leukämien. Prädiabetes und T2D bedingen eine 1,2- bis 2,7-fach erhöhte Krebssterblichkeit. Zugrundeliegende Mechanismen der Assoziation zwischen T2D und Krebs beinhalten die chronische Hyperglykämie, einen chronischen systemischen Entzündungszustand, oxidativen Stress, Dyslipidämie, die Insulinresistenz sowie chronisch erhöhte Spiegel von insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) und von Insulin. Eine dauerhafte Gewichtsreduktion kann das Krebsrisiko adipöser T2D-Patienten signifikant senken. Ein gesunder Lebensstil und die regelmäßige Teilnahme an Vorsorgeuntersuchungen sind wichtig und können die Krebsmortalität von Diabetespatienten erheblich verringern.

Abstract
Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) are at increased risk of developing several cancers; however, there is a lack of consensus on the relationship between gastric cancer (GC) and DM. This study aimed to explore the association between GC and DM based on the type and duration of DM. We searched nine databases from inception to December 1, 2021, and 40 cohort studies that evaluated the relationship between DM and the incidence of GC were included in this review. The summary relative ratios for the relationship of GC incidence with type 1 DM (T1DM) and type 2 DM (T2DM) were estimated using the fixed-effect and random-effect models, respectively. The risk of GC was 46% and 14% higher in individuals with T1DM and T2DM, respectively, than in those without diabetes. The risk of GC development in patients with diabetes showed a U-shape curve of change with DM duration. Our meta-analysis suggested that both T1DM and T2DM present a higher risk of GC development. The risk of GC may be influenced by the different time windows following the onset of diabetes. Future studies are required to explore the mechanism by which the duration of DM, antidiabetic medication use, and sex affect this association.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is a significant health issue closely associated with multiple metabolic dysfunctions. The association between MAFLD and cancer risk is yet unknown. METHODS UK Biobank study participants were diagnosed for the presence of MAFLD at baseline. A multivariable Cox regression model was performed to examine the associations of MAFLD with incident events in 24 specific cancers. RESULTS We included 352,911 individuals (37.2% with MAFLD), among whom 23,345 developed cancers. Compared with non-MAFLD, MAFLD was significantly associated with 10 of the 24 examined cancers, including corpus uteri (hazard ratio [HR] = 2.36, 95% CI 1.99-2.80), gallbladder (2.20, 1.14-4.23), liver (1.81, 1.43-2.28), kidney (1.77, 1.49-2.11), thyroid (1.69, 1.20-2.38), esophagus (1.48, 1.25-1.76), pancreas (1.31, 1.10-1.56), bladder (1.26, 1.11-1.43), breast (1.19, 1.11-1.27), and colorectal and anus cancers (1.14, 1.06-1.23). The associations of MAFLD with liver, esophageal, pancreatic, colorectal and anal and bladder cancers and malignant melanoma were strengthened in males, and associations with kidney, thyroid, and lung cancers were increased in females. The associations of MAFLD with the risk of liver, kidney, and thyroid cancers remained significant after further adjusting for the waist circumference or body mass index and the number of metabolic syndrome components based on the main models. The risk-increasing allele of PNPLA3 rs738409 significantly amplified the association of MAFLD with the risk of liver and kidney cancers. CONCLUSION MAFLD is associated with an increased risk of a set of cancers, but the effect substantially varies by site. MAFLD deserves higher priority in the current scheme of cancer prevention.

[PMID: 36213272 PMCID: PMC9537385 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2022.971213] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2022] [Accepted: 09/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Sex-specific thyroid cancer risk exists in patients diagnosed with diabetes mellitus (DM). However, thyroid cancer risk in different types of DM is still unclear. This meta-analysis aims to identify the real correlation between different types of DM and thyroid cancer risk in both sexes. METHODS Studies were identified by an electronic search of PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library on 16 January 2022. A random-effects model was used to estimate the relative risks (RRs). The Cochran's Q and I2 statistics were computed to detect heterogeneity between studies. RESULTS In comparison with non-DM counterparts, patients with DM had a 1.32-fold higher risk of thyroid cancer (95% CI, 1.22-1.44) with 1.26-fold (95% CI, 1.12-1.41) in men and 1.36-fold (95% CI, 1.22-1.52) in women, respectively. Subgroup analysis by the type of DM showed that the RR of thyroid cancer in patients with type 2 diabetes was 1.34 (95% CI, 1.17-1.53) in the study population with 1.32 (95% CI, 1.12-1.54) in men and 1.37 (95% CI, 1.12-1.68) in women, respectively; the RR of thyroid cancer was 1.30 (95% CI, 1.17-1.43) in patients with gestational diabetes; the risk of thyroid cancer in patients with type 1 diabetes was 1.51-fold in women but not in men. Although there were some heterogeneities, it did not affect the above results of this study. CONCLUSION This study indicates that, compared with non-DM individuals, patients with any type of DM have an elevated thyroid cancer risk. This positive correlation between type 2 diabetes and thyroid cancer risk exists in both men and women. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/, CRD42022304028.

Obesity-Independent Association between Glycemic Status and the Risk of Hematologic Malignancy: A Nationwide Population-Based Longitudinal Cohort Study. Cancers (Basel) 2021; 13:4760. [PMID: 34638244 PMCID: PMC8507554 DOI: 10.3390/cancers13194760] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2021] [Revised: 09/10/2021] [Accepted: 09/17/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
There have been conflicting results regarding the association between diabetes and the risk of hematologic malignancies, and its interaction with obesity is unknown. This study determined the risk of hematologic malignancies according to the glycemic status in a population-based study involving health screening 9,774,625 participants. The baseline glycemic status of the participants was categorized into no diabetes, impaired fasting glucose (IFG), newly detected diabetes, diabetes duration <5 years, and diabetes duration ≥5 year groups. The risks of overall and specific hematologic malignancies were estimated using a Cox regression analysis. During a median follow up of 7.3 years, 14,733 hematologic malignancies developed. The adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) for the risk of all the hematologic malignancies was 0.99 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.95-1.02) for IFG, 0.99 (95% CI 0.91-1.08) for newly detected diabetes, 1.03 (95% CI 0.96-1.11) for diabetes duration <5 years, and 1.11 (95% CI 1.03, 1.20) for diabetes duration ≥5 year groups. The association was independent from obesity. The risk of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) increased according to the progression of dysglycemia towards a longer diabetes duration, while Hodgkin's lymphoma did not. This study in Korea demonstrated diabetes to be associated with an increased risk of hematologic malignancies independent of obesity. The NHL risk increased with the diabetes duration.

Tseng CH. The Relationship between Diabetes Mellitus and Gastric Cancer and the Potential Benefits of Metformin: An Extensive Review of the Literature. Biomolecules 2021; 11:biom11071022. [PMID: 34356646 PMCID: PMC8301937 DOI: 10.3390/biom11071022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2021] [Revised: 07/02/2021] [Accepted: 07/08/2021] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
The objective of this review is to summarize the findings of published research that investigated the relationship between diabetes mellitus and gastric cancer (GCa) and the potential benefits of metformin on GCa. Related literature has been extensively reviewed, and findings from studies investigating the relationship between diabetes mellitus and GCa suggest that hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance are closely related to the development of GCa. Although not supported by all, most observational studies suggest an increased risk of GCa in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, especially in women and in Asian populations. Incidence of second primary malignancy diagnosed after GCa is significantly higher in diabetes patients. Diabetes patients with GCa may have more complications after gastrectomy or chemotherapy and they may have a poorer prognosis than patients with GCa but without diabetes mellitus. However, glycemic control may improve in the diabetes patients with GCa after receiving gastrectomy, especially after procedures that bypass the duodenum and proximal jejunum, such as Roux-en-Y gastric bypass or Billroth II reconstruction. The potential links between diabetes mellitus and GCa may involve the interactions with shared risk factors (e.g., obesity, hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance, high salt intake, smoking, etc.), Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection, medications (e.g., insulin, metformin, statins, aspirin, proton pump inhibitors, antibiotics, etc.) and comorbidities (e.g., hypertension, dyslipidemia, vascular complications, heart failure, renal failure, etc.). With regards to the potential benefits of metformin on GCa, results of most observational studies suggest a reduced risk of GCa associated with metformin use in patients with T2DM, which can be supported by evidence derived from many in vitro and animal studies. Metformin use may also reduce the risk of HP infection, an important risk factor of GCa. In patients with GCa, metformin users may have improved survival and reduced recurrence. More studies are required to clarify the pathological subtypes/anatomical sites of GCa associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus or prevented by metformin, to confirm whether GCa risk can also be increased in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus and to explore the possible role of gastric microbiota in the development of GCa.

Abstract
AIMS The association between type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and risk of head and neck cancer (HNC) remains unclear. This study aims to perform a system review and meta-analysis to explore this relationship. METHODS PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase databases were searched for studies published up to July 31, 2020, regarding the association between T2DM and HNC risk. A random-effects model was utilized to calculate summary relative risks (RRs) with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS Fourteen case-control studies and thirteen cohort studies were included in our analysis. We observed a weak association between T2DM and risk of HNC overall, but there was no statistical significance (RR, 1.04; 95% CI, 0.88-1.23; I2 = 83.2%). Interestingly, there was a strong association in East Asia (RR, 1.46; 95% CI, 1.21-1.77; I2 = 36.6%). For HNC subtypes, T2DM conferred a significantly elevated risk in oral cancer (RR, 1.22; 95% CI, 1.01-1.47; I2 = 89.0%). However, in subgroup analyses of smoking, alcohol use, and body mass index (BMI)/obesity adjustments, the association between T2DM and oral cancer risk became insignificant. In addition, T2DM was not associated with a statistically elevated risk of pharyngeal cancer (RR, 1.18; 95% CI, 0.94-1.49; I2 = 72.9%) and laryngeal cancer (RR, 1.03; 95% CI, 0.88-1.22; I2 = 71.2%). CONCLUSIONS This meta-analysis indicates that T2DM is associated with an increased risk of HNC in East Asia. As for site-specific cancer types, the risk of oral cancer was significantly increased in T2DM patients, which appear to be mediated or confounded by smoking, alcohol use, or BMI/obesity.

Abstract
Our study aims to assess mortality from causes other than breast cancer among women with breast cancer with focus on indications of joint aetiology. Data on female breast cancer patients were obtained from the Finnish Cancer Registry and their underlying causes of death in 54 categories from the Statistics Finland. Standardised mortality ratios (SMR) and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated for 50 481 patients diagnosed between 1971 and 2000 and followed until December 2012, stratified by histology, age at diagnosis and time since diagnosis. The expected numbers of deaths were based on respective mortality rates among the Finnish general population. Hazard ratio (HR) was estimated from Poisson regression model to compare risks of cause of death by histology. 41% of 30 841 deaths were due to causes other than breast cancer. Significant excess mortality was observed for stomach cancer (SMR 1.43, 95% CI 1.26-1.62), circulatory system diseases (SMR 1.17, 95% CI 1.14-1.20) and suicide (SMR 1.51, 95% CI 1.28-1.78). In an age-adjusted analysis, significantly higher relative risk of stomach cancer mortality was observed for lobular vs ductal subtype (HR 2.00, 95% CI 1.32-3.02). Significantly increased SMRs were observed for cancers of respiratory organs among premenopausal women, and for other respiratory system diseases, dementia and Alzheimer disease among postmenopausal women. We conclude that female breast cancer patients are at increased risk of death from causes other than the breast cancer diagnosis including circulatory and respiratory system diseases and cancer of stomach, ovary and respiratory systems. The excess mortality because of different causes varies based on menopausal status and histology. There might be shared aetiological factors between the diagnosis of breast cancer and the causes of death among these patients.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is widely considered to be associated with the risk of diverse cancers; however, the association between DM and the risk of leukemia is still controversial. Thus, a detailed meta-analysis of cohort studies was conducted to elucidate this association. Eligible studies were screened through the electronic searches in PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase from their inception to August 11, 2020. Summary relative risks (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were computed through the random-effects model. Eighteen articles involving 10,516 leukemia cases among a total of 4,094,235 diabetic patients were included in this meta-analysis. Overall, twenty-five RRs were synthesized for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and yielded a summary RR of 1.33 (95%CI, 1.21-1.47; p < 0.001). For type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), 7 RRs were combined, however, the pooled RR was insignificant (RR, 1.08; 95%CI, 0.87-1.34; p = 0.48). Interestingly, the summary RR for East Asia (RR, 1.83, 95%CI, 1.63-2.06) was significantly higher than that for Europe (RR, 1.11, 95%CI, 1.06-1.15), Western Asia (RR, 1.40, 95%CI, 1.25-1.54), North America (RR, 1.14, 95%CI, 1.08-1.20), and Australia (RR, 1.47, 95%CI, 1.25-1.71). Moreover, we found that patients with a shorter T2DM duration (1-5 years) had a higher risk of leukemia compared to those with a longer duration (5.1-10 years). Overall, this meta-analysis suggests there is a moderately increased risk of leukemia among T2DM patients, but not in T1DM patients. Further investigation is warranted.

Abstract
AIMS Diabetes mellitus (DM) is widely recognized as a risk factor for diverse cancers in adults. However, the association between maternal diabetes and risk of childhood cancer in the offspring has so far not been well studied. We thus conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate the role of maternal diabetes on the risk of childhood cancer. METHODS We performed a comprehensive literature search to identify eligible studies published up to June 20, 2020, including the PubMed, Web of science and Embase databases. Summary odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were computed using a random-effects model (I2 ≥ 25%) or a fixed-effect model (I2 < 25%). RESULTS Totally, sixteen case-control and six cohort studies on the risk of childhood cancer associated with maternal diabetes were included. Overall, children of diabetic women had a significantly increased risk in childhood malignancy (OR, 1.30; 95% CI, 1.10-1.53). Notably, a significantly elevated risk of childhood cancer in the offspring was found for women with pre-existing diabetes (OR, 1.41; 95% CI, 1.17-1.70), but not for women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) (OR, 1.10; 95% CI, 0.94-1.28). For site-specific cancers, maternal diabetes was associated with a higher risk of leukemia in offspring (OR, 1.30; 95% CI, 1.15-1.48), especially for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (OR, 1.44; 95% CI, 1.27-1.64). However, no significant associations were observed between maternal diabetes and the risk of lymphomas and retinoblastoma. CONCLUSIONS Our meta-analysis indicates that maternal diabetes is associated with an increased risk of childhood cancer in the offspring, particularly for acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Future study should investigate the underlying biological mechanisms behind the association.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have indicated inconsistent relationships of diabetes with thyroid cancer risk, yet little is known in China. In this study, we aimed to investigate the associations between diabetes, diabetes duration and the risk of thyroid cancer in Chinese population. METHODS A 1:1 matched case-control study was performed between 2015 and 2017 in Zhejiang Province including 2,937 thyroid cancer cases and 2,937 healthy controls. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95 % confidence intervals (CIs) for thyroid cancer were estimated in logistic regression models. Specific effects stratified by age, as well as sex, body mass index (BMI) and family history of diabetes were also examined. RESULTS Overall, neither diabetes (OR = 0.75, 95 % CI: 0.21-2.73) nor diabetes duration (OR = 0.14, 95 % CI: 0.02-1.22 for diabetes duration ≦ 5 years; OR = 2.10, 95 % CI: 0.32-13.94 for diabetes duration > 5 years) was significantly associated with thyroid cancer. In stratified analyses, significant lower risk of thyroid cancer was observed among subjects with diabetes and shorter diabetes duration ( ≦ 5 years), but limited to those who were aged more than 40 years, female, overweight/obese and had positive family history of diabetes. CONCLUSIONS Diabetes and shorter diabetes duration were significantly associated with decreased risk of thyroid cancer in individuals characterized by older age, female sex, higher BMI and positive family history of diabetes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Some studies have suggested a relationship between type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and increased incidence of melanoma. Efforts are under way to identify preventable and treatable factors associated with greater melanoma aggressiveness, but no studies to date have examined the relationship between T2DM and the aggressiveness of cutaneous melanoma at diagnosis. OBJECTIVES To explore potential associations between T2DM, glycaemic control and metformin treatment and the aggressiveness of cutaneous melanoma. METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional multicentric study in 443 patients diagnosed with cutaneous melanoma. At diagnosis, all patients completed a standardized protocol, and a fasting blood sample was extracted to analyse their glucose levels, glycated haemoglobin concentration and markers of systemic inflammation. Melanoma characteristics and aggressiveness factors [Breslow thickness, ulceration, tumour mitotic rate (TMR), sentinel lymph node (SLN) involvement and tumour stage] were also recorded. RESULTS The mean (SD) age of the patients was 55·98 (15·3) years and 50·6% were male. The median Breslow thickness was 0·85 mm. In total, 48 (10·8%) patients were diagnosed with T2DM and this finding was associated with a Breslow thickness > 2 mm [odds ratio (OR) 2·6, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1·4-4·9; P = 0·004)] and > 4 mm (OR 3·6, 95% CI 1·7-7·9; P = 0·001), TMR > 5 per mm2 (OR 4·5, 95% CI 1·4-13·7; P = 0·009), SLN involvement (OR 2·3, 95% CI 1-5·7; P = 0·038) and tumour stages III-IV (vs. I-II) (OR 3·4, 95% CI 1·6-7·4; P = 0·002), after adjusting for age, sex, obesity, alcohol intake and smoking habits. No significant associations emerged between glycated haemoglobin levels, metformin treatment and melanoma aggressiveness. CONCLUSIONS T2DM, rather than glycaemic control and metformin treatment, is associated with increased cutaneous melanoma aggressiveness at diagnosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Emerging evidence from observational studies (cohort and case-control studies) suggests that a history of diabetes mellitus (DM) has been linked to increased risk of ovarian cancer (OC), but the association between them remains inconclusive. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies was to clarify this association. DESIGN Systematic review and meta-analysis. METHODS We searched PubMed, Embase and the Cochrane library databases published from the inception through 9 April 2020 without language restriction. Observational studies that evaluated the correlation between DM and the incidence of OC were included in our study. Relative risk (RR) with 95% CI was pooled by use of a random-effects model. RESULTS A total of 36 epidemiological articles, including 9 case-control and 27 cohort studies, were finally enrolled, consisting of 14 496 incident cases of OC. Synthesised RRs of developing OC by history of DM were 1.20 (95% CI=1.10 to 1.31) for all eligible studies, 1.08 (95% CI=0.77 to 1.53) for case-control studies and 1.22 (95% CI=1.11 to 1.33) for cohort studies. The above-mentioned positive association persisted across most of subgroup analyses, whereas it was not significant among studies from North American and European countries, level of unadjusted, and patients with low-quality and gestational DM group. The cumulative meta-analysis and sensitivity analysis showed pooled effect was stable and reliable, and no apparent publication bias was identified in this study. CONCLUSIONS Our study found weaker but still association between DM and OC risk. However, further well-designed prospective studies that control for potential confounders are warranted.

Abstract
Insulin receptor substrate (IRS) proteins are cytoplasmic adaptors that transmit the signal from the IR and insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor to effector proteins. Overexpression of IRS proteins has been indicated to be linked to cancer development. In addition to their expression profiles, studies have indicated that polymorphisms of IRS1 and IRS2 are also associated with the susceptibility to numerous cancer types. IRS1 Gly972Arg and IRS2 Gly1057Asp are the common variants of these genes. The present study aimed to determine the association of IRS1 Gly972Arg and IRS2 Gly1057Asp polymorphisms with gastric cancer development. The study included 100 patients with gastric cancer and 100 controls. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms were detected by real-time PCR using Taqman assays. The results suggested that in individuals with the IRS1 Gly/Arg genotype, the odds of having gastric cancer was increased by 7.891-fold (95% CI: 3.251-19.154, P<0.001) and in individuals with the IRS1 Arg/Arg genotype, it was increased by 22.716-fold (95% CI: 6.311-81.761, P<0.001) compared with those with the IRS1 Gly/Gly genotype. Although the IRS2 Gly1057Asp genotype analysis suggested that subjects with the Asp/Asp genotype had a 2,311-fold increased odds of having gastric cancer compared to those with the Gly/Gly genotype, the result was not statistically significant (95% CI: 0.800-6.678, P=0.122). The combined effects of the IRS1 and IRS2 variants on gastric cancer were also determined. The results suggested that individuals with Gly/Arg+Gly/Asp and Gly/Arg+Asp/Asp genotypes had a higher odds of having gastric cancer compared to individuals of the Gly/Gly+Gly/Gly genotype (P=0.001 and P=0.027, respectively). In conclusion, the present results suggested that the IRS1 Gly972Arg and IRS2 Gly1057Asp variations may be associated with an increased susceptibility to develop gastric cancer. Further studies with larger sample sizes are required to support the present results and to explore the use of these variations as a biomarker for gastric cancer.

Abstract
Type-1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is an autoimmune disease that has an impact on mortality due to the destruction of insulin-producing pancreatic β -cells in the islets of Langerhans. Over the past few years, the interest in analyzing this type of disease, either in a biological or mathematical sense, has relied on the search for a treatment that guarantees full control of glucose levels. Mathematical models inspired by natural phenomena, are proposed under the prey–predator scheme. T1DM fits in this scheme due to the complicated relationship between pancreatic β -cell population growth and leukocyte population growth via the immune response. In this scenario, β -cells represent the prey, and leukocytes the predator. This paper studies the global dynamics of T1DM reported by Magombedze et al. in 2010. This model describes the interaction of resting macrophages, activated macrophages, antigen cells, autolytic T-cells, and β -cells. Therefore, the localization of compact invariant sets is applied to provide a bounded positive invariant domain in which one can ensure that once the dynamics of the T1DM enter into this domain, they will remain bounded with a maximum and minimum value. Furthermore, we analyzed this model in a closed-loop scenario based on nonlinear control theory, and proposed bases for possible control inputs, complementing the model with them. These entries are based on the existing relationship between cell–cell interaction and the role that they play in the unchaining of a diabetic condition. The closed-loop analysis aims to give a deeper understanding of the impact of autolytic T-cells and the nature of the β -cell population interaction with the innate immune system response. This analysis strengthens the proposal, providing a system free of this illness—that is, a condition wherein the pancreatic β -cell population holds and there are no antigen cells labeled by the activated macrophages.

Abstract
A retrospective cohort design was used with the objective to evaluate cancer risk among people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Lithuania. The cohort was established by identifying all patients with the first diagnosis of T2DM in the National Health Insurance Fund database during 2000-2012. Cancer cases were identified by record linkage with the Lithuanian Cancer Registry. Standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) were calculated. Of the 127,290 people that were included, 5959 cases of cancer in men and 6661 cancer cases in women with T2DM were observed. A statistically significant increase in risk for all cancer sites was observed in women, SIR 1.16 (95% CI 1.14-1.19), but not in men, SIR 1.00 (95% CI 0.98-1.03). Among males, a significant increase of liver (SIR 2.11, 95% CI 1.79-2.49]), pancreas (SIR 1.77, 95% CI 1.57-1.99), kidney (SIR 1.46 95% CI 1.31-1.62), thyroid (SIR 1.83, 95% CI 1.32-2.54), colorectal (SIR 1.23, 95% CI 1.14-1.31]), skin melanoma (SIR 1.40, 95% CI 1.11-1.76), and non-melanoma skin (SIR 1.14, 95% CI 1.05-1.23) cancer was observed. For females with T2DM, a significant increase in risk of cancer of the liver (SIR 1.45, 95% CI 1.17-1.79), pancreas (SIR 1.74, 95% CI 1.56-1.93), kidney (SIR = 1.43, 95% CI 1.28-1.60), thyroid (SIR = 1.40, 95% CI 1.22-1.62), breast (SIR = 1.24, 95% CI 1.17-1.31), and corpus uteri (SIR 2.07, 95% CI 1.93-2.21) was observed. In conclusion, people with T2DM in Lithuania had an increased risk of site-specific cancer.

Abstract
Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is considered to be a risk factor in the prognosis of many types of cancer, but the effect of DM on the risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is still under dispute. We performed this study to examine the association between DM and subsequent NHL risk. Methods: A systematically search had been performed in PubMed, EmBase, and the Cochrane Library to identify eligible studies from inception to September 2018. Results: Thirteen cohort studies were included, with a total of 9024761 participants. The results showed that DM was associated with an increased risk of NHL (RR = 1.15, 95%CI: 1.02, 1.30, P = .03). Subgroup analyses suggested that DM was significantly associated with patients aged less than 60 years old (RR = 1.65, 95%CI: 1.31, 2.09, P < .0001), follow-up duration within 8 years (RR = 1.23, 95%CI: 1.02, 1.48, P = .03), and studies adjusted for body mass index (RR = 1.35, 95%CI: 1.01, 1.79, P = .04). The analyses within DM patients indicated that DM men were more likely to develop NHL than DM women (RR = 1.31, 95%CI: 1.04, 1.65, P = .02). Conclusions: These results indicated that DM patients have significantly increased risk of NHL compared nondiabetics. Male DM patients were more likely to develop NHL compared with female. However, further large-scale studies are required to eliminate miscellaneous factors in all included studies.

Abstract
The global deaths due to colorectal cancer and diabetes mellitus have increased by 57% and 90%, respectively. The relationship between various cancers and diabetes mellitus has been shown in multiple epidemiological studies. Hence, better management of diabetes mellitus is expected to reduce the risk of various cancers. This review focuses on colorectal cancer and aims to summarize recent findings on the antitumor effects of various oral hypoglycemic drugs on colorectal cancer and their estimated mechanisms. Of the seven classes of oral hypoglycemic agents, only metformin was found to have suppressive effects on colorectal cancer in both clinical and basic research. Clinical and basic researches on suppressing effects of glinides, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors, thiazolidinedione, α-glucosidase inhibitors, and sodium glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors against colon carcinogenesis have been insufficient and have not arrived at any conclusion. Therefore, further research regarding these agents is warranted. In addition, the suppressive effects of these agents in healthy subjects without diabetes should also be investigated.

Abstract
AIM Diabetes mellitus (DM) is thought to be associated with an increased risk of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), although the evidence so far remains inconsistent. Thus, our study aimed to further assess this association. METHODS Electronic searches were performed of the PubMed, Web of Science and Embase databases up to 11 March 2019. A random-effects model was used to calculate summary relative risks (RRs) with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS A total of 20 articles including data from 35 cohort studies matched our inclusion criteria, and 31 RRs were calculated for type 2 DM; the summary RR was 1.20 (95% CI: 1.12-1.30, I2 = 84.7%). Also, four RRs were calculated for type 1 DM, and the result was significant (RR: 1.55, 95% CI: 1.15-2.08, I2 = 0.0%). The results of subgroup analyses demonstrated that the association between DM and NHL was much more substantial in an Asian population, while sensitivity analyses suggested the robustness of a positive association between DM and NHL risk. In addition, the RR of NHL correlated negatively with duration of DM, with the highest risk found in patients within 1-2 years of DM diagnosis. CONCLUSION Our study findings suggest a moderate increase in risk of NHL in type 1 and 2 DM patients. Future studies should investigate the effects of duration of DM and antidiabetes interventions on NHL risk.

Abstract
As the branches of oncology become more and more detailed, its deficiencies gradually appear in clinical work in recent years. With the development of modern medicine, individualized treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has already been more emphasized in clinical work. This article reviews the diagnosis and treatment of HCC, which can be regarded as an organic systemic disease, based on a concept of integrated medicine. It is suggested that simply eliminating cancer lesions does not mean curing HCC. In clinical practice, it is necessary to use integrative thoughts such as basic study combined with clinical practice, medicine with pharmacy, traditional Chinese medicine with Western medicine, local with whole, etc, so as to find new integrative methods for diagnosis and treatment of HCC.

Association of antidiabetic medication and statins with breast cancer incidence in women with type 2 diabetes. Breast Cancer Res Treat 2019; 175:741-748. [PMID: 30895533 PMCID: PMC6534663 DOI: 10.1007/s10549-019-05185-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2019] [Accepted: 02/20/2019] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
Purpose To address the possible association between the use of metformin, other forms of antidiabetic medication (ADM) and statins with the incidence of breast cancer in women with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Methods Data were collected from a Finnish nationwide diabetes database (FinDM). The study cohort consisted of women diagnosed with T2D in 1996–2011 in Finland. In full-cohort analysis, Poisson regression was used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) in relation to use of metformin, insulin, other forms of oral ADM and statins. In nested case–control analysis, up to 20 controls were matched for age and duration of diabetes to each case of breast cancer. Conditional logistic regression was used to estimate HRs in relation to medication use and cumulative use of different forms of ADM, and statins. Results 2300 women were diagnosed with breast cancer during follow-up. No difference in breast cancer incidence was observed between metformin users [HR 1.02, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.93–1.11] or statin users (HR 0.97, 95% CI 0.89–1.05) compared with non-users. In nested case–control analysis the results were similar. Use of insulin (HR 1.18, 95% CI 1.03–1.36) was associated with a slightly increased incidence of breast cancer. Conclusions No evidence of an association between the use of metformin or statins and the incidence of breast cancer in women with T2D was found. Among insulin users, a slightly higher incidence of breast cancer was observed.
