Abstract
Background: Socioeconomic status and lifestyle factors could potentially modify the association between diet and chronic diseases such as metabolic syndrome (MetS). Objective: This study aimed to investigate the combined effect of socioeconomic status, lifestyle factors, and dietary patterns on the MetS risk. Methods: During 8.9 years of follow-up, dietary information of 1915 individuals was collected by a validated Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ). Dietary patterns were derived using principal component analysis. Results: Two major dietary patterns including healthy dietary and Western dietary patterns were identified. In the crude and fully adjusted models, an association was not found between Western and healthy dietary patterns and the risk of MetS. There was a significant decrease in the risk of MetS among participants with higher levels of education who adhered to a healthy dietary pattern (hazard ratio: 0.71, 95% confidence interval: 0.34-0.89). Furthermore, the risk of MetS decreased in the fourth quartile of healthy dietary pattern among nonemployed (0.78, 0.51-0.94). According to the stratification of physical activity levels, it was shown that the healthy dietary pattern had a negative association with the risk of MetS only among participants who engaged in a high level of physical activity (0.70, 0.40-0.91). About the smoking status, it was shown that among non-smoker participants, higher adherence to a healthy dietary pattern was associated with a reduction in the risk of MetS. The risk of MetS reduced by 36% (0.64, 0.51-0.97) in the third quartile and by 39% (0.61, 0.54-0.95) in the fourth quartile of the healthy dietary pattern. No association was found between Western dietary pattern with MetS in different status of socioeconomic and lifestyle factors. Conclusions: Adhering to a healthy dietary pattern, engaging in regular physical activity, and abstaining from smoking could reduce incidents of MetS. Moreover, socioeconomic status modified the association between healthy dietary pattern and MetS.

Abstract
Considering the role of dietary methyl donor (DMD) in numerous biochemical processes, we hypothesized that DMD could play an important role in metabolic syndrome such as hyperlipidemia, hypertension, insulin resistance, and appetite in obese individuals. This cross-sectional study was conducted on 335 obese people. We collected dietary data using a valid and reliable 147-question Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ). Multivariate multinomial logistic regression was used to estimate the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for the association between dietary methyl intake and cardio-metabolic risk factors. After adjusting for confounding variables, individuals at the fourth and third quartile of DMD, were more likely to have lower low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) (OR = 0.968, CI = 0.943-0.994, P = 0.015 and OR = 0.978, CI = 0.957-0.998, P = 0.03 respectively) versus first quartile. Also, total cholesterol (TC) showed a significant decrease in forth quartile of DMD in model III (OR = 0.974, CI = 0.951-0.997, P = 0.029). Current results suggested that, high DMDs' consumption, significantly associated with decreased risk of cardiometabolic risk factors.

Abstract
The adipose tissue is a complex organ that can play endocrine, metabolic, and immune regulatory roles in cancer. In particular, adipocytes provide metabolic substrates for cancer cell proliferation and produce signaling molecules that can stimulate cell adhesion, migration, invasion, angiogenesis, and inflammation. Cancer cells, in turn, can reprogram adipocytes towards a more inflammatory state, resulting in a vicious cycle that fuels tumor growth and evolution. These mechanisms are enhanced in obesity, which is associated with the risk of developing certain tumors. Diet, an exogenous source of lipids with pro- or anti-inflammatory functions, has also been connected to cancer risk. This review analyzes how adipocytes and lipids are involved in tumor development and progression, focusing on the relationship between obesity and cancer. In addition, we discuss how diets with varying lipid intakes can affect the disease outcomes. Finally, we introduce novel metabolism-targeted treatments and adipocyte-based therapies in oncology.

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF SURGICAL ONCOLOGY 2024; 50:108772. [PMID: 39437588 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejso.2024.108772] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/15/2024] [Revised: 09/25/2024] [Accepted: 10/14/2024] [Indexed: 10/25/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the prevalence of sarcopenic obesity in patients with gastric cancer and its impact on adverse outcomes. METHODS A computerized search of PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and CINAHL databases was performed to search for articles related to sarcopenic obesity in patients with gastric cancer. The search was conducted until June 16, 2024, from the date of the creation of the database. RESULTS A total of sixteen studies were included, including fifteen cohort studies and one cross-sectional study involving 4087 patients. The results of the meta-analysis showed that the prevalence of sarcopenic obesity in gastric cancer patients was 16.3 % (95 % CI: 12.2 %-20.4 %). Sarcopenic obesity significantly shortened the overall survival of gastric cancer patients (HR = 1.64, 95 % CI: 1.20 to 2.25, P = 0.002) and increased the risk of postoperative significant complications (OR = 2.84, 95 % CI: 1.95 to 4.16, P < 0.001), severe complications (OR = 2.60, 95 % CI: 1.45 to 4.64, P = 0.001), surgical site infection (OR = 3.82, 95 % CI: 1.47 to 9.89, P = 0.006), and mortality (OR = 4.84, 95 % CI: 1.38 to 17.02, P = 0.014), but no significant effect on 30-day readmission (OR = 1.90, 95 % CI: 0.31 to 11.84, P = 0.491). CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of sarcopenic obesity is high in patients with gastric cancer and is strongly associated with poor postoperative outcomes. Healthcare providers should evaluate patients with gastric cancer for sarcopenic obesity early to prevent or reduce the incidence of adverse outcomes.

Impact of daily fasting duration on body composition and cardiometabolic risk factors during a time-restricted eating protocol: a randomized controlled trial. J Transl Med 2024; 22:1086. [PMID: 39614235 PMCID: PMC11607941 DOI: 10.1186/s12967-024-05849-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/29/2024] [Accepted: 10/31/2024] [Indexed: 12/01/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Time-restricted eating (TRE) is a dietary regimen that limits food intake for at least 12 h daily. Unlike other fasting protocols, TRE does not dictate what or how much to eat but rather focuses on the timing of meals. This approach has been previously demonstrated to improve body composition in individuals with obesity or metabolic impairments. However, its impact on body composition and cardiometabolic factors in healthy individuals remains unclear. Furthermore, the optimal fasting duration is still debated. Thus, we aimed to compare the effects of 8 weeks of different fasting durations on body composition and biochemical parameters in metabolically healthy, non-trained individuals using a parallel randomized controlled trial. METHODS Forty-one volunteers were randomly assigned to one of the four experimental groups: TRE 16:8 (16 h of fasting,8 h of eating), TRE 14:10 (14 h of fasting,10 h of eating), TRE 12:12 (12 h of fasting,12 h of eating) or a normal diet group (ND; no dietary restriction). Participants underwent body composition measurements and blood tests for lipid profiles (i.e., total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, and triglycerides), fasting glucose, leptin, and anabolic hormones (i.e., insulin and testosterone) levels. Data were analyzed using both intention-to-treat (ITT) and per-protocol (PP) analysis to account for compliance. A two-way ANOVA for repeated measures was employed to assess interactions between time and group. RESULTS In the ITT analysis, TRE 16:8 reduced body mass (-2.46%, p = 0.003) and absolute fat mass (-8.65%, p = 0.001) with no changes in lean soft tissue and in calorie intake. These results were consistent with the PP analysis which included 8 participants in TRE 16:8, 5 in TRE 14:10, 9 in TRE 12:12, and the entire ND group. Participants in the TRE 16:8 group spontaneously reduced their total caloric intake, although this reduction was not statistically significant. None of the other measurements significantly changed after 8 weeks. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that a 16-hour fasting window, even without caloric restriction, may be a viable strategy for improving body composition in healthy and non-trained individuals, whereas a shorter fasting period may be insufficient to produce significant changes in a healthy population.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Prostate cancer is the second most commonly diagnosed malignant tumor worldwide and poses a significant challenge to public health. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to investigate the association between diabetes mellitus and the risk of developing prostate cancer. METHODS We conducted a search of PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library from 1998 to 2024. The risk of bias within the included studies was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. The DerSimonian-Laird random-effect model was employed for the meta-analysis. Heterogeneity was evaluated using a forest plot and statistically assessed via the Q test, I2 index, and p-values. RESULTS Forty-three studies involving a total of 3,746,769 patients were included. Both case-control (pOR = 0.68, 95% CI: 0.61-0.97; I2 = 92.24%) and cohort studies (pRR = 0.71, 95% CI: 0.59-0.99; I2 = 85.41%) suggest that diabetes mellitus is associated with a reduced risk of prostate cancer, though with significant heterogeneity (p < 0.05). Subgroup analysis revealed that the risk of developing prostate cancer was significantly higher in patients with a family history of prostate cancer (pRR = 1.25, 95% CI: 1.16-1.35; I2 = 69.51%). CONCLUSIONS Our meta-analysis of recent observational studies indicates that diabetes mellitus is associated with a reduced risk of developing prostate cancer.

Abstract
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is closely linked to cancer development, with emerging evidence suggesting its association with pulmonary carcinoma. However, causal relationships remain unclear due to observational study limitations. Employing Mendelian randomization, we investigated the causal link between MetS and lung cancer (LC) susceptibility. The data utilized in this study were obtained from the publicly available genetic variation summary database. The causal relationship was assessed using the inverse variance weighting method (IVW), weighted median method, and MR-Egger regression. A sensitivity analysis was carried out to confirm the robustness of the findings. Furthermore, risk factor analyses were conducted to explore potential mediators. Utilizing various analyses, MetS demonstrated a significant positive association with LC (OR, 1.22; 95% CI, 1.09-1.37, p = 7.57 × 10- 4), lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) (OR, 1.47; 95%, 1.23-1.75, p = 2.22 × 10- 5), and small cell lung cancer (SCLC) (OR, 1.76; 95% CI, 1.37-2.26, p = 8.20 × 10- 6) but not lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) (OR, 1.08; 95% CI, 0.94-1.24, p = 0.28). Risk factor analyses indicated that smoking, alcohol, body mass index, education, and type 2 diabetes might mediate the association. This study genetically validates and reinforces the evidence of MetS increasing the incidence of LC, including both LUSC) and SCLC, especially among individuals with abdominal obesity. It provides valuable insights for the development of lung cancer prevention strategies and directions for future research.

Abstract
To ascertain the involvement of insulin receptors (IRs) in colorectal carcinogenesis, we investigated the association of height, body mass index (BMI), and physical activity with colorectal cancer (CRC) and two subtypes of CRC according to the expression level of IR. We utilized data from a large-scale, population-based prospective cohort study of 18,158 middle-aged and elderly subjects in Akita and Okinawa, Japan. In the statistical analysis, we used the Cox proportional hazards model and estimated hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the risk of CRC and its subtypes as defined by immunohistochemistry of IRβ, a transmembrane subunit of IR. In the IRβ-defined subtypes, height showed no apparent association with the risk of IRβ-positive CRC. In contrast, a multivariable HR of IRβ-positive CRC was 1.77 (95% CI = 1.04-3.03) with a BMI of ≥30.0 kg/m2 (i.e., obesity), compared to a BMI of <25.0 kg/m2. Further, an increase in physical activity was significantly associated with decreased risk of IRβ-positive CRC (multivariable HR per 5 METs-hour/day = 0.93, 95% CI = 0.88-0.99). Meanwhile, we found no significant association between any exposure and IRβ-negative CRC. Likewise, heterogeneity between the two subtypes of CRC was not statistically significant. These findings imply that obesity and physical activity exert promoting and suppressing effects on the development of CRC expressing IRs, respectively.

Increased Risk of Hypoglycemia Following Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Surgery in Patients Without Diabetes: a Propensity Score-Matched Analysis. Obes Surg 2024:10.1007/s11695-024-07565-y. [PMID: 39532813 DOI: 10.1007/s11695-024-07565-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2024] [Revised: 10/19/2024] [Accepted: 10/26/2024] [Indexed: 11/16/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery is an effective treatment for obesity. However, the incidence and long-term risk of hypoglycemia after surgery in patients without diabetes remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of hypoglycemia following RYGB surgery in patients with obesity and without diabetes. METHODS A retrospective cohort study was conducted using the TriNetX database. The study population included 15,085 patients with obesity (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2) who underwent RYGB surgery and 3,200,074 non-surgical controls, all without a history of diabetes or GLP-1 receptor agonist use. Propensity score matching was performed to balance baseline characteristics. The primary outcome was the incidence of hypoglycemia, defined by ICD-10-CM codes or laboratory values (glucose ≤ 70 mg/dL). Cox regression analysis was employed to calculate hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). RESULTS In the overall study population, the risk of hypoglycemia was significantly higher in the RYGB group (18.70%, n = 2,810) compared to the control group (3.80%, n = 120,923; HR 4.3, 95% CI 4.14-4.46, p < 0.001). After propensity score matching (n = 14,916 per group), RYGB patients maintained an elevated risk (18.70%, n = 2,795) compared to matched controls (5.0%, n = 749; HR 3.7, 95% CI 3.44-4.05, p < 0.001). Time-series analysis revealed consistently higher hypoglycemia risk in the RYGB group, with hazard ratios ranging from 5.37 (95% CI 4.09-7.03) at 1 week to 3.75 (95% CI 3.45-4.06) at 10 years post-surgery (all p < 0.001). Subgroup analysis of RYGB patients who developed hypoglycemia showed a 30-day hospitalization rate of 21.3% and a mortality rate of 0.71%. CONCLUSION RYGB surgery is associated with a significantly increased risk of hypoglycemia in patients with obesity and without diabetes, both in the short-term and long-term follow-up. These findings underscore the importance of monitoring and managing hypoglycemia in patients undergoing RYGB surgery, even in the absence of preexisting diabetes.

Cancers (Basel) 2024; 16:3730. [PMID: 39594685 PMCID: PMC11591725 DOI: 10.3390/cancers16223730] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2024] [Revised: 10/31/2024] [Accepted: 11/03/2024] [Indexed: 11/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Background/Objectives: Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) is known to reduce cancer risk. However, the association between specific bariatric procedures and cancer incidence is not well-studied. This study examined the association between four different MBS procedures and cancer incidence. Methods: Bariatric surgery registry data were linked with statewide cancer registry data from 1979 to 2018. The study included 27,092 adult subjects (aged ≥ 18 years old at surgery) who underwent MBS (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2 at surgery) from 1979 to 2017. Cancer records were linked to MBS patient records, resulting in 1547 cancer cases. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to examine the association between MBS procedure types and cancer incidence. Results: Of all patients, 75% underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), 9% adjustable gastric banding (AGB), 10% sleeve gastrectomy (SG), and 6% duodenal switch (BPD-DS). The overall cancer incidence during the follow-up period was 6.4% for RYGB, 4.6% for AGB, 1.6% for SG, and 5.9% for BPD-DS. The mean follow-up duration from surgery to cancer incidence or censoring was 167 months (standard deviation = 121 months). Compared to RYGB, patients who underwent AGB (Hazard Ratio [HR] = 1.26, p = 0.03) and BPD-DS (HR = 1.91, p < 0.01) had a significantly higher hazard of developing cancer, while SG (HR = 1.17, p = 0.33) showed no significant difference. Conclusions: These findings suggest that AGB and BPD-DS may be associated with higher cancer risks compared to RYGB. Additional large population studies are needed to better understand the long-term cancer risks and mechanisms associated with different MBS types.

Abstract
AIMS Inflammation plays a crucial role in the interconnection between diabetes and cancer. Our study seeks to investigate the predictive value of inflammatory indices concerning overall survival (OS) among diabetic cancer patients. METHODS We analyzed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey between 1999 and 2020. Using four immune-related markers, we employed the log-rank method, multivariate Cox regression, and subgroup analysis to explore the predictive capacity of these markers for OS among adult individuals with diabetes and cancer. RESULTS Our study identified four systemic immune-inflammatory indices that demonstrated significant predictive potential for OS among diabetic cancer patients, namely systemic immune-inflammation index, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio, and lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (all p values < 0.05). Notably, these inflammatory biomarkers still maintain their predictive value after adjusting potential confounding factors. The analysis using restrictive cubic splines revealed significant non-linear relationships between inflammatory biomarkers and OS. CONCLUSION The findings presented in this study underscore the potential of inflammatory markers as prognostic indicators and their crucial role in enhancing risk assessment for diabetic patients with cancer.

Abstract
The biological effects of marolo (Annona crassiflora Mart.) seed byproducts, a native fruit of Brazilian Cerrado, have not been extensively studied. We evaluated the chemopreventive potential of marolo seed almond flour (MSAF) and marolo seed film flour (MSFF) and correlated the results obtained with the antioxidant capacity presented by the seed. Total phenolic content (TPC) and total flavonoid content (TFC) were determined by spectrophotometric analysis and phenolics profile composition by Ultra-Performance Liquid Chromatography (UPLC). In addition, the in vitro antioxidant activity was determined by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis 3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS•+) expressed in trolox equivalent (TE) of MSFF (165 and 325 µmol TE/g) and MSAF (7.21 and 4.34 µmol TE/g), respectively. MSFF displayed of antioxidant activity values by DPPH (165.98 µmol TE/g) and ABTS•+ (323.13 µmol TE/g) and TPC, expressed in gallic acid equivalent (GAE), of 54.28 mg GAE/g with predominance of myricetin (368.17 µg/g), and TFC, expressed in catechin equivalent (CE), of 50.86 mg CE/g, representing ∼ 93 % of the TPC. MSAF presented TPC of 1.52 mg GAE/g, with TFC of 0.76 mg CE/g (∼50 % of TPC), with predominance of quercetin (29.08 µg/g). The chemopreventive activity against DNA damage induced by doxorubicin (DXR) [20 mg/kg body weight (bw)]) was evaluated in Swiss mice peripheral blood by micronucleus test. Toxicological parameters, such as food and water consumption and animal weight, as well as blood glucose levels, were monitored during 14 days of treatment. The results showed that MSFF and MSAF presented no significant cytotoxic and mutagenic effects. The MSFF at doses of 3.5, and 7.0 mg/day showed a chemopreventive effect, while in the doses of 14.0 and 28.0 mg/day, no effect was observed. On the other hand, in the MSAF, a chemopreventive effect was observed only in the dose of 28 mg/day. The interference of one or more of the bioactive compounds with antioxidant activity presents in the MSFF may explain the best protective effect against DNA damage. Therefore, both marolo seed flours (MSFF and MSAF) can be considered potential food ingredients products that could be applied in food or pharmaceutical preparations with antioxidant and chemopreventive properties.

Abstract
Growing epidemiological evidence indicates an association between obesity, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers, suggesting the existence of common underlying mechanisms in these diseases. Frequent hyperglycemias in type 2 diabetes promote pro-inflammatory responses and stimulate intracellular metabolic flux which rewires signaling pathways and influences the onset and advancement of different types of cancers. Here, we review the provocative impact of hyperglycemia on a subset of interconnected signalling pathways that regulate (i) cell growth and survival, (ii) metabolism adjustments, (iii) protein function modulation in response to nutrient availability (iv) and cell fate and proliferation and which are driven respectively by PI3K (Phosphoinositide 3-kinase), AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase), O-GlcNAc (O-linked N-acetylglucosamine) and Wnt/β-catenin. Specifically, we will elaborate on their involvement in glucose metabolism, inflammation, and cell proliferation, highlighting their interplay in the pathogenesis of diabetes and cancer. Furthermore, the influence of antineoplastic and antidiabetic drugs on the unbridled cellular pathways will be examined. This review aims to inspire the next molecular studies to understand how type 2 diabetes may lead to certain cancers. This will contribute to personalized medicine and direct better prevention strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Comorbidities have been shown to impact the presentation and treatment of patients with cancers. This study investigates the prevalence and patterns of comorbidity in a pan-cancer cohort of patients treated at a large UK specialist cancer center over a 9-year period. METHODS A retrospective review of 77,149 patients from 01/01/2014 to 15/12/2022 was conducted using the Adult Comorbidity Evaluation 27 score (ACE-27) to assess the burden of comorbidities across 12 organ systems and an overall comorbidity burden. Binary and multinomial logistic regressions were utilized to evaluate the relationships between comorbidity incidence and demographic and socio-economic factors. RESULTS At the time of diagnosis, 59.7% of patients had at least one comorbidity, with the highest prevalence in lung cancer and the lowest in brain/CNS and endocrine gland cancers. Cardiovascular comorbidities were the most frequent. Comorbidity severity was higher in patients from more deprived areas. Age and performance status were associated with a higher incidence of all comorbidities examined. Patients with advanced stage had a lower risk of having a severe comorbidity burden. CONCLUSION Comorbidities are common across all cancers but are more prevalent in certain patient populations. Further research to understand the implications of comorbidities in cancer management is needed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Uterine cancer (UC) is one of the prevalent malignancies in the female reproductive system. Estimating the burden trends of UC is crucial for developing effective prevention strategies at the national level. However, there has been no comprehensive analysis of the UC burden in China. We focused on the evaluation of the burden trends of UC in China over the past 32 years to provide a 15-year projection, comparing it with global levels. METHODS Data on incidence, prevalence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) were extracted from Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 to describe the burden of UC in China. Joinpoint regression analysis was employed to describe the temporal trends of UC in China and globally over the past 32 years. A Bayesian age-period-cohort model was utilized to predict the trends of UC in the next 15 years. Spearman correlation analysis was used to compare the relationship between ASIR, ASPR, ASMR, ASDR, and SDI in UC in China and globally. Changes in ASMR and ASDR in UC caused by high BMI in China and globally from 1990 to 2021 were explored. RESULTS In 2021, the age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR), age-standardized prevalence rate (ASPR), age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR), and age-standardized DALY rate (ASDR) of UC in China were 6.65, 46.52, 1.24, and 37.86 (per 100,000 population) respectively. Compared to 1990, the ASMR and ASDR decreased by 48.63% and 48.15% respectively, while the ASIR and ASPR increased by 17.79% and 37.67% respectively. Globally, the burden of UC followed a similar trend in China, with increasing ASIR and ASPR, and decreasing ASMR and ASDR, although the magnitude of increase and decrease was smaller than in China. Joinpoint regression analysis results showed an overall upward trend in ASIR and ASPR for both China and global UC, while an overall downward trend was observed in ASMR and ASDR. Age-specific analysis revealed that during the period from 1990 to 2021, the age groups with the highest incidence, prevalence, mortality, and DALYs for UC in China generally occurred at earlier ages compared to the global pattern. It is projected that over the next 15 years, the burden of UC in China will continue to increase at a higher rate than the global level. Spearman correlation analysis showed that ASIR and ASPR of UC in China and the world were significantly positively correlated with SDI (p < 0.05), and ASMR and ASDR were significantly negatively correlated with SDI (p < 0.001). High BMI is a risk factor affecting the mortality rate and DALYs of UC in both China and globally, with the increase in ASMR and ASDR due to high BMI being greater in China than globally. CONCLUSION The incidence and prevalence burden of UC among Chinese and global women have shown an increasing trend over the past 32 years, while the mortality and DALYs have decreased. The projected burden of UC in China is anticipated to continue rising at a higher rate than the global level over the next 15 years. Given the large population in China, the government needs to strengthen screening and prevention strategies to mitigate the burden of UC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the correlation between serum glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels and the risk of prostate cancer incidence and mortality, providing a comprehensive analysis to inform preventative and clinical strategies. METHODS A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted including studies based on their documentation of prostate cancer incidence and mortality related to HbA1c levels, with a minimum of 3 risk-related data levels. The Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale (NOQAS) was used for quality assessment and risk of bias evaluation. We employed generalized least squares (GLS) to assess the linear trend within individual studies and combined these estimates using a random effects model. Additionally, we utilized a restricted cubic spline (RCS) model to investigate potential nonlinear trends. RESULTS A total of 13 studies were included in the quantitative synthesis ultimately. The quantitative analysis did not find a significant association between HbA1c levels and prostate cancer incidence. However, a significant positive correlation was revealed between HbA1c levels and both cancer-specific mortality (CSM) and all-cause mortality (ACM), with a 1% increase in HbA1c levels associated with a 26% increase in CSM and a 21% increase in ACM. CONCLUSION The HbA1c level is significantly associated with increased prostate cancer mortality. The results highlight the importance of considering blood sugar control in the comprehensive risk assessment for prostate cancer, particularly among the nondiabetic population.

Abstract
BTC overall incidence is globally increasing. CCA, including its subtypes, is a form of BTC. MetS, obesity, MASLD, and diabetes are all linked to CCA in interconnected ways. The link between obesity and CCA is less well-defined in Eastern countries as compared to Western. Although more research is needed to determine the relationship between MASLD and extrahepatic CCA (eCCA), MASLD may be a concurrent risk factor for intrahepatic CCA, particularly in populations with established or unidentified underlying liver disease. Interestingly, the risk of biliary tract cancer (BTC) seemed to be higher in patients with shorter diabetes durations who were not treated with insulin. Therefore, early detection and prevention of chronic liver disease, as well as additional intervention studies, will undoubtedly be required to determine whether improvements to MetS, weight loss, and diabetes therapy can reduce the risk and progression of BTC. However, further studies are needed to understand how reproductive hormones are involved in causing BTC and to develop consistent treatment for patients. Finally, it is critical to carefully assess the cardiological risk in BTC patients due to their increased intrinsic cardiovascular risk, putting them at risk for thrombotic complications, cardiovascular death, cardiac metastasis, and nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis. This review aimed to provide an updated summary of the relation between the abovementioned cardio-metabolic conditions and BTC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Filipino Americans constitute 12% and 4% of the respective populations of Hawaii and California, with a large proportion of immigrants experiencing increasing cancer rates. This study investigated the incidence of colorectal, breast, and prostate cancers by generational status in the Multiethnic Cohort. METHODS We analyzed 10,495 Filipino Multiethnic Cohort first-, second-, and third-generation participants, in which 26.8% were of mixed race and ethnicity. Linkage to statewide cancer registries identified 375 breast, 249 colorectal, and 436 prostate cancer incident cases. Cox models were used to calculate HRs and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for the association between generational status and cancer incidence. Models were adjusted for age at cohort entry and cancer-specific covariates that were chosen based on stepwise regression. RESULTS Compared with the first generation, colorectal cancer showed a significantly higher incidence in the second and third generations with respective HRs of 1.43 (95% CI, 1.04, 1.98) and 1.76 (95% CI, 1.29, 2.38). This association was attenuated after adjustment for relevant covariates. Breast cancer incidence was elevated in the third versus first generation (HR = 1.29; 95% CI, 1.01, 1.63) even in the fully adjusted model, whereas little difference was observed for prostate cancer. CONCLUSIONS In this prospective study, we found differences in incidence by generational status, specifically colorectal cancer among men and female breast cancer. IMPACT Understanding behavioral changes due to acculturation is warranted to mitigate cancer risks in migrant populations.

Abstract
Background Metabolic syndrome involves health problems influenced by aging and genetics. The glucokinase regulatory protein (GCKR) rs1260326 polymorphism (Leu446) is associated with metabolic traits. This study explores the impact of the GCKR rs1260326 polymorphism on metabolic traits in older Japanese with focusing on sex-specific differences. Methods This cross-sectional study from the Bunkyo Health Study in Tokyo, Japan, examined 883 participants aged 65-84 years. Participants were excluded with diabetes, or on drug treatment for diabetes or dyslipidemia. The GCKR P446L polymorphism was analyzed and compared their characteristics of physical activity, dietary intake, body composition, and metabolic parameters. Results Study participants with GCKR rs1260326 genotypes (C/C 20.7%, C/T 47.6%, T/T 31.7%) had a median age of 72 years, and 60.4% were women. Men with the T/T genotype, as compared to the C/C genotype, had a lower body weight, body mass index (BMI), and skeletal mass index. This genotype also associated with lower fasting insulin, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR), and higher Matsuda index, but not after adjustment for age, BMI, and physical activity. In contrast, women with the T/T genotype, compared to the C/C genotype, showed higher C-reactive protein, fibroblast growth factor 21, and Matsuda index. They also had lower fasting insulin, insulin area under the curve, and HOMA-IR; with these associations being independent of age, BMI, and physical activity. Conclusion The GCKR rs1260326 genotype-affected metabolic traits differentially by sex in older Japanese. This highlights the need to consider sex differences in GCKR-related metabolic outcomes.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and cancer share common risk factors including obesity, inflammation, hyperglycemia, and hyperinsulinemia. High insulin levels activate the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway promoting cancer cell growth, survival, proliferation, metastasis, and anti-apoptosis. The inhibition of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway for cancer remains a promising therapy; however, drug resistance poses a major problem in clinical settings resulting in limited efficacy of agents; thus, combination treatments with therapeutic inhibitors may solve the resistance to such agents. Understanding the metabolic link between diabetes and cancer can assist in improving the therapeutic strategies used for the management of cancer patients with diabetes and vice versa. This review provides an overview of shared molecular mechanisms between diabetes and cancer as well as discusses established and emerging therapeutic anti-cancer agents targeting the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway in cancer management.

Abstract
Background Cardiovascular risk factors are associated with increased risk of future cancer. However, the relationship between quantitative parameters of atherosclerosis and future cancer risk is unclear. Methods and Results A total of 1,057 consecutive patients with coronary artery disease was divided into 2 groups according to the cutoff value of the cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) derived by receiver operating characteristic curve analysis: low CAVI group (CAVI <8.82; n=487), and high CAVI group (CAVI ≥8.82; n=570). Patients in the high CAVI group were older and had a higher prevalence of diabetes, chronic kidney disease, anemia and history of stroke compared with patients in the low CAVI group. There were 141 new cancers during the follow-up period. The cumulative incidence of new cancer was significantly higher in the high CAVI group than in the low CAVI group (P=0.001). In a multivariate Cox proportional hazard analysis, high CAVI was found to be an independent predictor of new cancer diagnosis (hazard ratio 1.62; 95% confidence interval 1.11-2.36; P=0.012). In the analysis of individual cancer types, high CAVI was associated with lung cancer (hazard ratio 2.85; 95% confidence interval 1.01-8.07; P=0.049). Conclusions High CAVI was associated with the risk of future cancer in patients with coronary artery disease.

Abstract
Numerous antibody biomarkers have been reported for cancer and atherosclerosis-related diseases. The major complications of atherosclerosis and diabetes mellitus (DM) are acute ischemic stroke (AIS), cardiovascular disease (CVD) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Cancer development is accompanied by arterial disorders, such as angiogenesis and atherosclerosis, and DM is a risk factor for the development of certain types of cancer. Atherosclerosis-related diseases and cancers are therefore interrelated and could be detected using a common biomarker. In the present study, the initial screening using the protein array method identified KIAA0513 as an antigen recognized by serum IgG antibodies in patients with atherosclerosis. The amplified luminescent proximity homogeneous assay-linked immunosorbent assay revealed significantly higher serum antibody levels against recombinant KIAA0513 protein in patients with AIS, transient ischemic attack (TIA), DM, CVD, obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), CKD and solid cancers, such as esophageal, gastric, colon, lung and breast cancers, compared with healthy donors. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis revealed that the highest areas under the ROC curves of anti-KIAA0513 antibodies were obtained for esophageal cancer, nephrosclerosis-type CKD and DM. Spearman's correlation analysis revealed that serum anti-KIAA0513 antibody levels were associated with maximum intima-media thickness and plaque score, which are indices of atherosclerosis and stenosis. Serum anti-KIAA0513 antibody markers appear to be useful for diagnosing AIS, TIA, DM, CVD, OSAS, CKD and solid cancers, and may reflect common arterial alterations leading to atherosclerotic and cancerous diseases.

Abstract
ABSTRACT The development of agents for cancer prevention is a lengthy process requiring a delicate balance between the safety and tolerability of potential interventions and effectiveness in preventing future cancer. Individuals at risk for a specific cancer are frequently at risk for multiple types of cancer as well as other chronic diseases, especially ones associated with aging. Shared environmental exposures, genetic predisposition, metabolic factors, and commonalities in pathogenesis suggest opportunities for combined targeting of cancer and other chronic diseases. Examples discussed here include mechanisms shared between various cancers and obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
Background Sleep traits have been linked to diseases; particularly, their impact on cancer has received increasing attention. This study aimed to investigate whether sleep traits have a causal relationship with colorectal cancer (CRC) using two-sample Mendelian randomization (TSMR). Methods Genetic instrumental variables (IVs) for seven sleep traits (sleep duration, ease of getting up in the morning, morning chronotype, daytime napping, insomnia symptoms, snoring, and daytime dozing) were selected from pooled data from published genome-wide association studies (GSWSs). Two-sample multivariate Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses were conducted to assess the causal association between sleep traits and CRC. Reverse MR analyses were performed to determine the causal relationship between CRC and sleep traits. Inverse variance weighted (IVW), MR-Egger, and weighted medians were calculated for all MR analyses. Results The multivariable MR (MVMR) analysis found that appropriate sleep duration [odds ratio (OR) =0.989; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.980, 0.999; P=0.04] and ease of getting up in the morning (OR =0.990; 95% CI: 0.980, 1.000; P=0.04) were protective factors for CRC. Snoring (OR =1.021; 95% CI: 1.002, 1.041; P=0.03) was associated with the risk of CRC. Ease of getting up in the morning (OR =0.990; 95% CI: 0.983, 0.997; P=0.003) was associated with reduced risk of colon cancer. Morning chronotype (OR =1.004; 95% CI: 1.000, 1.007; P=0.04) was associated with the risk of colon cancer. Insomnia symptoms (OR =0.995; 95% CI: 0.990, 0.999; P=0.03) were a protective factor for rectal cancer. There was no evidence found for a causal association between other sleep traits and CRC, colon, or rectal cancer. Conclusions Proper sleep duration and ease of getting up in the morning may be protective factors against CRC, and snoring may increase the risk of CRC.

Abstract
We aimed to assess the association of SAF with cardiovascular mortality in the general population and the possible association between SAF with other disease-specific mortality rates. We evaluated 77,143 participants without known diabetes or cardiovascular disease. The cause of death was ascertained by the municipality database. The associations between SAF and all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality and cancer mortality were assessed with Cox proportional hazard analysis.After a median follow-up of 115 months, 1447 participants were deceased (1.9%). SAF and age-adjusted SAF-z score were higher in all mortality groups. Cox regression analysis revealed that the highest quartile of SAF was associated with increased odds of cardiovascular mortality, (HR) 12.6 (7.3-21.7) and after adjusting for age (HR 1.8 (1.0-3.2)). Significance was lost after additional adjustments for sex, smoking status, and BMI (HR 1.4 (0.8-2.5). For cancer-related mortality the highest quartile of SAF was associated with higher probability of mortality in all models (unadjusted HR 8.6 (6.6-11.3), adjusted for age HR 2.1 (1.6-2.8)), adjusted for age, sex, smoking status, and BMI HR 1.7 (1.3-2.4)). SAF is associated with all-cause mortality as well as cardiovascular and cancer-related mortality in the general population.

Wang Y, Liu Q, Sun Y, Wu W, Cheng X, Chen X, Ren F. Association between metabolic disorders and clinicopathologic features in endometrial cancer. Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2024; 15:1351982. [PMID: 39257906 PMCID: PMC11385602 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2024.1351982] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2023] [Accepted: 08/09/2024] [Indexed: 09/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Background In recent years, the incidence of Endometrial cancer (EC) has been on the rise due to high-fat, high-calorie diets and low-exercise lifestyles. However, the relationships between metabolic disorders and the progression of EC remain uncertain. The purpose of our study was to explore the potential association between obesity, hypertension, hyperglycemia and clinicopathologic characteristics in EC patients. Methods In categorical variables, Chi-square tests were used to calculate P values. Univariate logistic regression and multivariate logistic regression were used to identify the risk factors of myometrial invasion>1/2 and lymph node metastasis. Overall survival (OS) was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Results The study included 406 individuals with EC, 62.6% had type I and 37.4% had type II. Hypertension was seen in 132 (32.5%), hyperglycemia in 75 (18.5%), and overweight or obesity in 217 (53.4%). Hypertension, hyperglycemia, and obesity are strongly associated with the clinicopathologic features of EC. Multivariate logistic regression revealed that hyperglycemia (OR=2.439,95% CI: 1.025-5.804, P = 0.044) was a risk factor for myometrial invasion depth >1/2 in patients with type I EC, and hypertension (OR=32.124,95% CI: 3.287-313.992, P = 0.003) was a risk factor for lymph node metastasis in patients with type I EC. Survival analysis found that hyperglycemia (P < 0.001) and hypertension (P = 0.002) were associated with OS in type I EC. Neither hyperglycemia, hypertension, nor obesity were associated with the prognosis in type II EC. Conclusion Hyperglycemia was a risk factor for myometrial invasion depth >1/2 in patients with type I EC and hypertension was a risk factor for lymph node metastasis in patients with type I EC. Hypertension and hyperglycemia were associated with poor prognosis in patients with type I EC.

Fluctuations in serum lipid levels during neoadjuvant treatment as novel predictive and prognostic biomarkers for locally advanced breast cancer: a retrospective analysis based on a prospective cohort. Lipids Health Dis 2024; 23:261. [PMID: 39175000 PMCID: PMC11340160 DOI: 10.1186/s12944-024-02140-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2023] [Accepted: 05/09/2024] [Indexed: 08/24/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND With increasing attention given to host-specific lipid metabolism status, it is of urgent need to identify lipid metabolism indices with predictive or prognostic value in locally advanced breast cancer patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC), and to evaluate the performance improvement by incorporating them into the existing Neo-Bioscore staging system. METHODS Patients from a prospectively maintained database of locally advanced breast cancer patients who received radical surgery after NAC between January 2014 to December 2020 were enrolled in this study. The enrolled patients were randomly divided into a training set and a test set at a ratio of 6:4. The random forest algorithm was applied to rank the importance of prognostic factors, top-ranked lipid metabolism indices of which were then incorporated into Neo-Bioscore to construct an updated prognostic model. The performances of these two models were compared in both training set and test set from multiple perspectives. Study outcomes included disease-free survival (DFS), relapse-free survival (RFS), distance-recurrence-free survival (DRFS), locoregional-recurrence-free survival (LRFS) and overall survival (OS). RESULTS A total of 200 eligible patients were included in this study. After a median follow-up of 4.73 years, it was demonstrated that the relative increase in total cholesterol (TC; DFS: HR = 4.782, 95%CI 1.410 ~ 16.217, P = 0.012) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL; DFS: HR = 4.622, 95%CI 1.517 ~ 14.088, P = 0.007) during NAC led to poorer survival outcomes. Patients with either a higher body mass index (BMI) or elevated LDL during NAC had a worse prognosis (DFS: HR = 6.351, 95%CI 1.938 ~ 20.809, P = 0.002; OS, HR = 6.919, 95%CI 1.296 ~ 36.932, P = 0.024). Incorporating BMI and LDL fluctuations during NAC into Neo-Bioscore improved the prognostic stratification, especially in terms of LRFS (P = 0.046 vs. P = 0.65) and OS (P = 0.013 vs. P = 0.61). Multidimensional evaluation confirmed the improvement in model fit and clinical use for the updated model in both training set and test set. CONCLUSIONS This is the first study to illustrate the relative elevation of LDL and TC levels during NAC as independent prognosticators for locally advanced breast cancer. This is also the first attempt to incorporate lipid metabolism indices into the original Neo-Bioscore staging system, which further improves the prognostic stratification of patients receiving NAC.

Abstract
The landscape of cancer survivorship is increasingly populated by individuals facing a spectrum of cardiometabolic risks, attributed to both their oncological history and treatment regimens. This manuscript synthesizes findings from various studies, highlighting the prevalence of traditional risk factors-hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes-as well as emergent concerns like obesity and metabolic syndrome among survivors. The impact of demographic variables, specific cancer types, and treatment modalities on cardiometabolic health is explored. Through a lens of multidisciplinary management and future research directives, we advocate for an integrative approach to cardiometabolic health in cancer survivors, aiming to ensure their victory over cancer extends into long-term well-being. Furthermore, we discuss the outcome implications of these cardiometabolic risk factors on cardiovascular disease development, future cardiovascular events, and overall survival, supported by studies showing improved outcomes through exercise and risk factor control.

Abstract
Introduction Diabetes is a common comorbidity among people with cancer. The objective of our study was to examine patterns of health care use among patients with cancer and either type 2 diabetes or prediabetes. Methods We used data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) for 2017-2020. The study population included US adults aged 18 years or older who were diagnosed with any cancer and type 2 diabetes or prediabetes (established by self-report and/or hemoglobin A1c measurement). We used Poisson and multivariate logistic regression models to determine the effect of comorbidity on health care use, defined as health care visits and overnight stays in a hospital. Results Of 905 cancer patients representing 27,180,715 people in the US, 24.4% had a type 2 diabetes diagnosis, and 25.8% had a prediabetes diagnosis. Patients with cancer and prediabetes had a significantly higher rate of health care visits (incidence rate ratio = 1.11; 95% CI, 1.01-1.22; P = .03) than patients with cancer only. We found no significant association between having cancer and type 2 diabetes and the number of health care visits or overnight hospital stays compared with patients with cancer only. Conclusion More emphasis should be placed on optimal care coordination among people with cancer and other conditions, such as diabetes and prediabetes, to reduce the impact of comorbidity on health care use. Interventions integrated with technology to provide timely access to education on preventing or managing diabetes and prediabetes among cancer patients are warranted.

Does obstructive sleep apnea increase the risk of cancer and cancer mortality in combined community-based cohorts? J Sleep Res 2024; 33:e14089.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been linked to cancer in several clinical and community-based cohorts. The effect in community-based studies free of clinical referral bias needs to be replicated. In this observational prospective cohort study, we pooled data from three community-based prospective cohorts (Uppsala Sleep and Health in Men cohort [UMEN]; Sleep and health in women [SHE]; Men Androgen Inflammation Lifestyle Environment and Stress Cohort [MAILES]; nTotal = 1467). All cohorts had objective data on obstructive sleep apnea and registry linkage data on cancer and cancer mortality. Analyses for different obstructive sleep apnea measures (apnea-hypopnea index [AHI], oxygen desaturation index [ODI], and minimal saturation) as risk factors for cancer incidence (all cancers) were performed using Cox proportional hazards models (follow-up 5-16 years). We did not find an overall increased risk of cancer after adjustment for age, sex, and BMI (HRAHI [95% CI] = 1.00 [0.98; 1.01] and HRODI [95% CI] = 0.99 [0.97; 1.01]). Stratifying by daytime sleepiness did not influence the association. Cancer mortality was not significantly associated with obstructive sleep apnea. Taken together, we did not observe an overall increased risk of cancer or cancer mortality in relation to obstructive sleep apnea, however, our confidence limits remain wide for important diagnostic categories of sleep apnea severity. The relationship between obstructive sleep apnea and cancer needs further investigation in a comprehensive multi-cohort approach with greater statistical precision. For future studies we may need to find and then combine every community-based cohort study that can provide a definitive answer to the question on the risk of cancer from obstructive sleep apnea in the general population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to integrate bioinformatics technology to explore shared hub genes and related mechanisms between diabetes and tuberculosis and to provide a theoretical basis for revealing the disease mechanisms in patients with both diabetes and tuberculosis. METHODS Differentially expressed genes and Venn analysis were used to identify shared genes between diabetes and tuberculosis. PPI network analysis was used to screen key hub genes. GO and KEGG analyses were used to analyze the potential biological functions of these key hub genes. Immune infiltration analysis was performed using the ssGSEA algorithm. EnrichR online analysis website was used to explore potential therapeutic drugs. RESULTS The dataset analysis showed that PSMB9, ISG15, RTP4, CXCL10, GBP2, and GBP3 were six hub genes shared by diabetes and tuberculosis, which not only could distinguish between the two disease samples but also had a high diagnostic rate. GO and KEGG analyses showed that these six genes mainly mediate immune-related biological processes such as interferon, interleukin, and chemokine receptor binding, as well as signaling pathways such as RIG-I-like receptor, NOD-like receptor, and proteasome. Immune infiltration analysis showed that high expression of TIL may mediate the development of both diabetes and tuberculosis. In addition, suloctidil HL60 UP, thioridazine HL60 UP, mefloquine HL60 UP, 1-NITROPYRENE CTD 00001569, and chlorophyllin CTD 00000324 were the candidate drugs predicted by this study that were most likely to target hub genes. CONCLUSION Six differentially expressed genes shared by both diseases (PSMB9, ISG15, RTP4, CXCL10, GBP2, and GBP3) may play a key role in the disease progression of patients with both diabetes and tuberculosis. Candidate drugs targeting these hub genes have therapeutic potential and are worthy of further research. In summary, this study reveals potential shared pathogenic mechanisms between tuberculosis and diabetes.

Abstract
PURPOSE Cancer continues to be a major global health challenge, affecting millions of individuals and placing substantial burdens on healthcare systems worldwide. Recent research suggests a complex relationship between obesity and cancer, with obesity increasing the risk of various cancers while potentially improving outcomes for diagnosed patients, a phenomenon termed the "obesity paradox". In this study, we used a cohort of 1781 patients to investigate the impact of obesity on tumor characteristics, including gene expression, pathway dysfunction, genetic alterations and immune infiltration. METHODS Patient samples spanned 10 different cancer types, and were obtained from the Cancer Genome Atlas, with annotations for body mass index (BMI), age, sex, tumor size and tumor gene expression data. RESULTS When we compared the proportion of large (T3-T4) to small tumors (T1-T2) between obese and non-obese patients, we found that obese patients tended to present with smaller, less invasive tumors and exhibited distinct gene expression profiles, particularly in metabolic and proliferative pathways. Moreover, smaller tumors in obese patients show higher immune cell infiltration and increased T cell diversity, suggesting enhanced immune activity. CONCLUSION Taken together, these findings highlight the influence of obesity on tumor biology, with implications for personalized treatment strategies that consider patient physiology alongside tumor characteristics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Identifying a specific biomarker will facilitate the diagnosis and prediction of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The aim of this study was to investigate the serum SH2B1 in patients with NSCLC and healthy volunteers and establish a novel prediction model. METHODS A total 103 NSCLC patients and 108 healthy volunteers were selected from December 2019 to December 2020. Their serum and important clinical data were collected. Serum SH2B1 concentration was determined by ELISA. A novel prediction model for NSCLC was established according to these significant factors. RESULTS Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that the chronic pulmonary diseases; NLR ≥ 2.07; hemoglobin level ≥ 136.56 g/L; albumin level ≥ 42.59 g/L and serum SH2B1 concentration ≥615.28 pg/mL were considered as statistically significant difference (p < 0.05). A comprehensive nomogram was established based on serum SH2B1 concentration combined with significant clinical indicators to predict an individual's probability of NSCLC. CONCLUSION The serum SH2B1 concentration ≥ 615.28 pg/mL is a significant predictive factor for NSCLC. Significantly, the prediction model based on serum SH2B1 has good stability and accuracy, which provides new insights of prediction assessment for NSCLC.

Associations Between Dietary Intake of Tomato and Lycopene with All-Cause and Cancer-Specific Mortality in US Adults with Diabetes: Results From a Cohort Study. Nutr Cancer 2024; 76:974-984. [PMID: 39033400 DOI: 10.1080/01635581.2024.2380521] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2024] [Revised: 07/08/2024] [Accepted: 07/10/2024] [Indexed: 07/23/2024]
Abstract
This study aimed to explore the association between dietary intake of tomatoes and lycopene with all-cause and cancer mortality among US adults with diabetes. We hypothesized that a higher intake of tomato and lycopene is related to a reduced risk of all-cause and cancer mortality among adults with diabetes. This prospective study was conducted among 9213 US adults with diabetes using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2007-2016. Data on dietary intake of tomatoes and lycopene were obtained from two 24-h dietary recalls. Multivariate Cox proportional hazard models determined the associations between tomato/lycopene intake and mortality. A higher intake of tomatoes and lycopene was significantly associated with a lower risk of all-cause mortality (tomato: Q5 vs. Q1: HR = 0.68, 95% CI = 0.54-0.86, p = 0.001, p for trend = 0.001; lycopene: Q5 vs. Q1: HR = 0.78, 95% CI = 0.64-0.95, p = 0.013, p for trend = 0.006) after adjusting for all covariates. Compared with the lowest quintile of tomato and lycopene intake, the highest quintile was associated with a lower risk of cancer mortality (tomato: HR = 0.58, 95% CI = 0.35-0.96, p = 0.035; lycopene: HR = 0.63, 95% CI = 0.40-0.98, p = 0.043). Our study demonstrated that dietary intake of tomatoes and lycopene was significantly associated with a lower risk of all-cause mortality in US adults with diabetes. High consumption of tomatoes and lycopene was also related to reduced cancer mortality in US adults with diabetes.

World J Gastrointest Oncol 2024; 16:3011-3031. [PMID: 39072151 PMCID: PMC11271780 DOI: 10.4251/wjgo.v16.i7.3011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2024] [Revised: 03/17/2024] [Accepted: 05/28/2024] [Indexed: 07/12/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Adipocytes, especially adipocytes within tumor tissue known as cancer-associated adipocytes, have been increasingly recognized for their pivotal role in the tumor microenvironment of gastric cancer (GC). Their influence on tumor progression and patient prognosis has sparked significant interest in recent research. The main objectives of this study were to investigate adipocyte infiltration, assess its correlation with clinical pathological features, develop a prognostic prediction model based on independent prognostic factors, evaluate the impact of adipocytes on immune cell infiltration and tumor invasiveness in GC, and identify and validate genes associated with high adipocyte expression, exploring their potential diagnostic and prognostic value. AIM To explore the relationship between increased adipocytes within tumor tissue and prognosis in GC patients as well as the associated mechanisms and potential biomarkers, using public databases and clinical data. METHODS Using mRNA microarray datasets from the Gene Expression Omnibus database and clinical samples from Jiangsu Provincial Hospital, survival and regression analyses were conducted to determine the relevant prognostic factors in GC. Feature gene selection was performed using least absolute shrinkage and selection operator and support vector machine recursive feature elimination algorithms, followed by differential gene expression analysis, gene ontology, pathway analysis, and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis. Immune cell infiltration was analyzed using the CIBERSORT algorithm. RESULTS Tumor adipocyte infiltration correlated with poor prognosis in GC, leading to the development of a highly accurate and discriminative prognostic prediction model. Key genes, ADH1B, SFRP1, PLAC9, and FABP4, were identified as associated with high adipocyte expression in GC. The diagnostic and prognostic potential of these identified genes was validated using independent datasets. Downregulation of immune cells was observed in GC with high adipocyte expression. CONCLUSION GC with high intratumoral adipocyte expression demonstrated aggressive tumor biology and a poorer prognosis. The genes ADH1B, SFRP1, PLAC9, and FABP4 have been identified as holding diagnostic and prognostic significance in GC. These findings strongly support the use of adipocyte expression as a valuable indicator of tumor invasiveness and anticipated patient outcomes in GC.

Abstract
There is currently a growing interest in diets and physical activity patterns that may be beneficial in preventing and treating breast cancer (BC). Mounting evidence indicates that indeed, the so-called Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) and regular physical activity likely both help reduce the risk of developing BC. For those who have already received a BC diagnosis, these interventions may decrease the risk of tumor recurrence after treatment and improve quality of life. Studies also show the potential of other dietary interventions, including fasting or modified fasting, calorie restriction, ketogenic diets, and vegan or plant-based diets, to enhance the efficacy of BC therapies. In this review article, we discuss the biological rationale for utilizing these dietary interventions and physical activity in BC prevention and treatment. We highlight published and ongoing clinical studies that have applied these lifestyle interventions to BC patients. This review offers valuable insights into the potential application of these dietary interventions and physical activity as complimentary therapies in BC management.

Abstract
(1) Background: To analyze the prevalence of physical activity (PA) according to the presence of overweight or obesity and other sociodemographic factors in the Spanish adult population. (2) Methods: Cross-sectional study using the European Health Interview Surveys for Spain from 2014 and 2020. (3) Results: In overweight and obese people, the percentage of those who reported not performing any type of PA remained constant between 2014 and 2020, while a statistically significant increase was observed in the percentage of people who walked for 10 min a day and exercised at least 2 days a week. The probability of being obese with respect to normal weight was higher in individuals who reported not engaging in PA during leisure time (OR 1.42; 95% CI 1.31-1.53), those who did not walk 10 min a day at least 2 days a week (OR 1.25; 95% CI 1.15-1.35), and those who did not exercise at least 2 days a week (OR 1.42; 95% CI 1.32-1.53). The probability of being overweight was higher in individuals who reported not performing PA during leisure time (OR 1.07; 95% CI 1.02-1.15) and in those who did not exercise at least 2 days per week (OR 1.15; 95% CI 1.09-1.22). (4) Conclusions: Small increases in PA have been observed in both overweight and obese individuals from 2014 to 2020.

Abstract
Coronary artery disease (CAD) such as acute myocardial infarction (MI) share several common risk factors with cancers, and each disease may influence the prognosis of the other. Recently, acute MI was demonstrated to accelerate the outgrowth of preexisting breast cancer cells but the risk of breast cancer after MI remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the association between acute MI and a subsequent diagnosis of breast cancer. Female patients with and without a history of acute MI were identified from nationwide databases in Taiwan. Patients with a diagnosis of cancer, MI or CAD prior to the study period were excluded. After reducing confounding through inverse probability of treatment weighting, we compared the incidence of newly diagnosed breast cancer between patients with a history of acute MI and those without. As a result, a total of 66,445 female patients were obtained, including 15,263 patients with a history of acute MI and 51,182 patients without. The incidences of breast cancer during follow-up were 1.93 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.78-2.09) and 1.80 (95% CI 1.67-1.93) per 1,000 person-years for patients with and without a history of acute MI, respectively. The hazard ratio (HR) was 1.05 (95% CI 0.78-1.41, P = 0.756). In subgroup analysis, breast cancer risk was significantly associated with acute MI in patients using antidiabetic drugs (HR 1.27; 95% CI 1.02-1.58) and in low to moderate urbanization levels (HR 1.28; 95% CI 1.06-1.53). In conclusion, the risk of newly diagnosed breast cancer was not increased in patients with acute MI when compared to general population without MI or CAD.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the major causes of mortality and is the second leading cause of death. Diabetes mellitus is a serious and growing problem worldwide, and its prevalence continues to grow; it is the 12th leading cause of death. An association between diabetes mellitus and cancer has been suggested for more than 100 years. Diabetes is a common disease diagnosed among patients with cancer, and evidence indicates that approximately 8-18% of patients with cancer have diabetes, with investigations suggesting an association between diabetes and some particular cancers, increasing the risk for developing cancers such as pancreatic, liver, colon, breast, stomach, and a few others. Breast and colorectal cancers have increased from 20% to 30% and there is a 97% increased risk of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma or endometrial cancer. On the other hand, a number of cancers and cancer therapies increase the risk of diabetes mellitus. Complications due to diabetes in patients with cancer may influence the choice of cancer therapy. Unfortunately, the mechanisms of the associations between diabetes mellitus and cancer are still unknown. The aim of this review is to summarize the association of diabetes mellitus with selected cancers and update the evidence on the underlying mechanisms of this association.

[PMID: 39036051 PMCID: PMC11257875 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2024.1302436] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2023] [Accepted: 06/13/2024] [Indexed: 07/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Pancreatic cancer (PC) is a prevalent malignancy within the digestive system, with diabetes recognized as one of its well-established risk factors. Methods Data on PC mortality attributed to high fasting blood sugar were retrieved from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study 2019 online database. To assess the temporal trends of PC burden attributable to high fasting plasma glucose (HFPG), estimated annual percentage changes (EAPCs) for age-standardized death rates (ASDRs) between 1990 and 2019 were determined using a generalized linear model. Furthermore, a Bayesian age-period-cohort (BAPC) model using the integrated nested Laplacian approximation algorithm was employed to project the disease burden over the next 20 years. Results Globally, the crude death number of PC attributable to HFPG almost tripled (from 13,065.7 in 1990 to 48,358.5 in 2019) from 1990 to 2019, and the ASDR increased from 0.36/100,000 to 0.61/100,000 with an EAPC of 2.04 (95% CI 1.91-2.16). The population aged ≥70 years accounted for nearly 60% of total deaths in 2019 and experienced a more significant increase, with the death number increasing approximately fourfold and the ASDR increasing annually by 2.65%. In regions with different sociodemographic indexes (SDIs), the highest disease burden was observed in the high-SDI region, whereas more pronounced increasing trends in ASDR were observed in the low to middle-SDI, low-SDI, and middle-SDI regions. Additionally, a significantly negative association was found between EAPCs and ASDRs of PC attributable to HFPG from 1990 to 2019. Moreover, the BAPC model predicts that ASDR and age-standardized disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) rate for PC attributed to HFPG was projected to increase obviously for men and women from 2019 to 2040. Conclusions The burden of PC attributed to HFPG has increased globally over the past three decades, with the elderly population and high-SDI regions carrying a relatively greater disease burden, but more adverse trends observed in low-SDI areas. Furthermore, the burden is projected to continue increasing over the next 20 years. Hence, more tailored prevention methodologies should be established to mitigate this increasing trend.

Abstract
Proteins are acknowledged as the phenotypical manifestation of the genotype, because protein-coding genes carry the information for the strings of amino acids that constitute the proteins. It is widely accepted that protein function depends on the corresponding "native" structure or folding achieved within the cell, and that native protein folding corresponds to the lowest free energy minimum for a given protein. However, protein folding within the cell is a non-deterministic dissipative process that from the same input may produce different outcomes, thus conformational heterogeneity of folded proteins is the rule and not the exception. Local changes in the intracellular environment promote variation in protein folding. Hence protein folding requires "supervision" by a host of chaperones and co-chaperones that help their client proteins to achieve the folding that is most stable according to the local environment. Such environmental influence on protein folding is continuously transduced with the help of the cellular stress responses (CSRs) and this may lead to changes in the rules of engagement between proteins, so that the corresponding protein interactome could be modified by the environment leading to an alternative cellular phenotype. This allows for a phenotypic plasticity useful for adapting to sudden and/or transient environmental changes at the cellular level. Starting from this perspective, hereunder we develop the argument that the presence of sustained cellular stress coupled to efficient CSRs may lead to the selection of an aberrant phenotype as the resulting adaptation of the cellular proteome (and the corresponding interactome) to such stressful conditions, and this can be a common epigenetic pathway to cancer.

Abstract
Despite the considerable advancements in chemotherapy as a cornerstone modality in cancer treatment, the prevalence of complications and pre-existing diseases is on the rise among cancer patients along with prolonged survival and aging population. The relationships between these disorders and cancer are intricate, bearing significant influence on the survival and quality of life of individuals with cancer and presenting challenges for the prognosis and outcomes of malignancies. Herein, we review the prevailing complications and comorbidities that often accompany chemotherapy and summarize the lessons to learn from inadequate research and management of this scenario, with an emphasis on possible strategies for reducing potential complications and alleviating comorbidities, as well as an overview of current preclinical cancer models and practical advice for establishing bio-faithful preclinical models in such complex context.

Abstract
Xiaoyao san (XYS) plays an important role in treatment of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) with liver stagnation and spleen deficiency, but its specific mechanism is still unclear. This study aimed to investigate the material basis and mechanism by means of network pharmacology, metabolomics, systems biology and molecular docking methods. On this basis, NAFLD rat model with liver stagnation and spleen deficiency was constructed and XYS was used to intervene, and liver histopathology, biochemical detection, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, quantitative PCR assay and western blotting were used to further verify the mechanism. Through the above research methods, network pharmacology study showed that there were 94 targets in total for XYS in the treatment of NAFLD. Metabolomics study showed that NAFLD with liver depression and spleen deficiency had a total of 73 differential metabolites. Systems biology found that PTGS2 and PPARG were the core targets; Quercetin, kaempferol, naringenin, beta-sitosterol and stigmasterol were the core active components; AA, cAMP were the core metabolites. And molecular docking showed that the core active components can act well on the key targets. Animal experiments showed that XYS could improve liver histopathology, increase 5HT and NA, decrease INS and FBG, improve blood lipids and liver function, decrease AA, increase cAMP, down-regulate PTGS2, up-regulate PPARG, and decrease PGE2 and 15d-PGJ2. In conclusion, XYS might treat NAFLD with liver depression and spleen deficiency by down-regulating PTGS2, up-regulating PPARG, reducing AA content, increasing cAMP, improving insulin resistance, affecting glucose and lipid metabolism, inhibiting oxidative stress and inflammatory response.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

[PMID: 38795747 PMCID: PMC11282498 DOI: 10.1016/j.tjnut.2024.05.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2023] [Revised: 04/05/2024] [Accepted: 05/21/2024] [Indexed: 05/28/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Behavioral phenotypes that predict future weight gain are needed to identify children susceptible to obesity. OBJECTIVES This prospective study developed an eating behavior risk score to predict change in adiposity over 1 y in children. METHODS Data from 6 baseline visits (Time 1, T1) and a 1-y follow-up visit (Time 2, T2) were collected from 76, 7- to 8-y-old healthy children recruited from Central Pennsylvania. At T1, children had body mass index (BMI) percentiles <90 and were classified with either high (n = 33; maternal BMI ≥30 kg/m2) or low (n = 43; maternal BMI ≤25 kg/m2) familial risk for obesity. Appetitive traits and eating behaviors were assessed at T1. Adiposity was measured at T1 and T2 using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry, with a main outcome of fat mass index (FMI; total body fat mass divided by height in meters squared). Hierarchical linear regressions determined which eating measures improved prediction of T2 FMI after adjustment for covariates in the baseline model (T1 FMI, sex, income, familial risk, and Tanner stage). RESULTS Four eating measures-Portion susceptibility, Appetitive traits, loss of control eating, and eating rate-were combined into a standardized summary score called PACE. PACE improved the baseline model to predict 80% variance in T2 FMI. PACE was positively associated with the increase in FMI in children from T1 to T2, independent of familial risk (r = 0.58, P < 0.001). Although PACE was higher in girls than boys (P < 0.05), it did not differ by familial risk, income, or education. CONCLUSIONS PACE represents a cumulative eating behavior risk score that predicts adiposity gain over 1 y in middle childhood. If PACE similarly predicts adiposity gain in a cohort with greater racial and socioeconomic diversity, it will inform the development of interventions to prevent obesity. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT03341247.

[PMID: 39001476 PMCID: PMC11240453 DOI: 10.3390/cancers16132414] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2024] [Revised: 06/27/2024] [Accepted: 06/28/2024] [Indexed: 07/16/2024] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: Among the chronic complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus, cancer has become the leading cause of death in several countries. Our objective was to determine whether prevalent type 2 diabetes mellitus is associated with a higher incidence of cancer. (2) Methods: This study comprised a nationwide analysis conducted in Hungary. The study population was divided into two groups: a type 2 diabetes mellitus group vs. a non-diabetic group. The primary outcome was the risk related to overall cancer incidence; a key secondary outcome was the overall incidence of cancer in distinct study years; and a further outcome was the annual percent changes. (3) Results: The odds ratio related to the overall incidence of cancer was 2.50 (95% confidence interval: 2.46-2.55, p < 0.0001) in patients with diabetes as related to non-diabetic controls. The odds ratio was higher in males than in females [ORmales: 2.76 (2.70-2.82) vs. ORfemales: 2.27 (2.22-2.33), p < 0.05 for male-to-female comparison]. The annual cancer incidence rate declined in non-diabetic controls, but not in patients with diabetes [-1.79% (-2.07--1.52%), p < 0.0001] vs. -0.50% (-1.12-+0.10%), p = 0.0991]. Several types of cancer showed a decreasing tendency in non-diabetic controls, but not in patients with type 2 diabetes. (4) Conclusions: Type 2 diabetes is associated with a higher risk of cancer. While the cancer incidence decreased for non-diabetic individuals with time, it remained unchanged in patients with T2DM.

Abstract
The landscape of cancer survivorship is increasingly populated by individuals facing a spectrum of cardiometabolic risks, attributed to both their oncological history and treatment regimens. This manuscript synthesizes findings from various studies, highlighting the prevalence of traditional risk factors-hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes-as well as emergent concerns like obesity and metabolic syndrome among survivors. The impact of demographic variables, specific cancer types, and treatment modalities on cardiometabolic health is explored. Through a lens of multidisciplinary management and future research directives, we advocate for an integrative approach to cardiometabolic health in cancer survivors, aiming to ensure their victory over cancer extends into long-term well-being.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prostate cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in the US, and it has a high mortality rate. Diabetes mellitus is also a dangerous health condition. While some studies have examined the relationship between diabetes mellitus and the risk of prostate cancer, there is still some debate on the matter. This study aims to carefully assess the relationship between prostate cancer and diabetes from both real-world and genetic-level data. METHODS This meta-analysis was conducted following the PRISMA 2020 reporting guidelines. The study searched three databases including Medline, Embase and Cochrane. The studies about the incidence risk of prostate cancer with diabetes mellitus were included and used to evaluate the association. The odds ratio (OR), risk ratio (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were estimated using Random Effects models and Fixed Effects models. Mendelian randomization study using genetic variants was also conducted. RESULTS A total of 72 articles were included in this study. The results showed that risk of prostate cancer decreased in diabetes patients. And the influence was different in different regions. This study also estimated the impact of body mass index (BMI) in the diabetes populations and found that the risk decreased in higher BMI populations. The MR analysis found that diabetes mellitus exposure reduced the risk of prostate cancer in the European population and Asia populations. Conclusions The diabetes mellitus has a protective effect on prostate cancer. And the influence of obesity in diabetes mellitus plays an important role in this effect.

METTL3 Modulates TXNIP Expression to Affect the Activation of NLRP3 Inflammasome in Hepatic Cells Under Oxygen-Glucose Deprivation/Reperfusion Injury. Inflammation 2024; 47:1028-1040.

Abstract
Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is still a major risk factor and unsolved problem in hepatic surgery. Methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3), an important m6A-modified methylase, regulates inflammation and cellular stress response. In this study, we demonstrated the special role of METTL3 and its underlying mechanism in hepatic I/R injury. In the mouse model of hepatic I/R and in the oxygen-glucose deprivation and reoxygenation (OGD/R)-induced AML12 and NCTC 1469 cells, the expression of METTL3 was significantly upregulated. Inhibition of METTL3 in OGD/R-induced AML12 and NCTC 1469 cells both increased the cell viability, declined the cell apoptosis, and decreased the reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the release levels of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and interleukin-18 (IL-18), diminishing NLRP3 and Caspase1-p20 expressions. Moreover, METTL3 positively modulated TXNIP expression in an m6A manner. TXNIP overexpression reversed the effects of METTL3 knockdown on OGD/R-induced injury in AML12 cells. Furthermore, inhibition of NLRP3 inflammasome activity contributed to the protective effects of TXNIP knockdown in OGD/R-induced AML12 cells. In conclusion, METTL3 knockdown alleviated OGD/R-induced hepatocyte injury, and the specific mechanism was associated with the inhibition of NLRP3 inflammasome activation, which was attributed to the reduction of TXNIP in an m6A-dependent manner.

Abstract
Objective Accumulating evidence indicates a relationship between diabetes and cancer risk, with obesity, insulin resistance, and hyperglycemia being implicated as the major underlying pathogenetic mechanisms of increased cancer risk among people with diabetes. We aim to assess the differential effect of dysglycemia (prediabetes and diabetes) on the strength of association (odds) of cancer amongst the adult US diabetic population. Material and methods We analyzed data from the 1997-2013 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) dataset, which applies a multistage area probability sampling design. We used descriptive statistics and logistic regression analyses to test the strengths of the association between diabetes, prediabetes, and cancer before and after adjusting for major risk factors for cancer, including age and body mass index (BMI). Results A total of 722,532 individuals were surveyed, with a mean age of 47.18 ±0.3 years (±SEM) and a BMI of 26.9 ±0.01 kg/m2. Between 1997 and 2013, BMI increased from 26.0 to 27.4 kg/m2, the diabetes rate increased from 4.1% to 7.6%, and associated cancer rates increased from 6.6% to 9.0%. Body mass index was 27.1 vs. 26.8 kg/m2, P < 0.01, for those with and without cancer, respectively. The unadjusted odds ratio for cancer was 1.92 (1.78-2.08) (95% CI) and 2.20 (2.13-2.27) for prediabetes and diabetes, respectively. After adjusting for age, BMI, race, and cigarette smoking, the odds ratio for cancer was 1.12 (1.03-1.22), P < 0.01, and 1.15 (1.11-1.18), P <0.01, for prediabetes and diabetes, respectively. Conclusion Among US adults, the increasing rate of diabetes over the years was associated with an increased rate of cancer. Diabetes and prediabetes have a graduated effect on cancer risk. While obesity is generally implicated as an underlying pathophysiologic link between diabetes and cancer, our study showed a modest difference in BMI between those with and without cancer. In addition, the effect of diabetes and prediabetes on the odds of cancer persisted after adjusting for BMI. These data collectively suggest that hyperglycemia is an attractive pathophysiologic mechanism that may play a role in increasing the odds of cancer among diabetic and prediabetic populations. Our study is consistent with the accumulating evidence implicating hyperglycemia in the pathogenesis of cancer, where glucose is used in PET scanning to detect cancer (the Warburg effect), and the ketogenic diet appears to be useful in cancer management, enhancing the effect of chemotherapeutic agents.

Abstract
Cancer due to its heterogeneous nature and large prevalence has tremendous socioeconomic impacts on populations across the world. Therefore, it is crucial to discover effective panels of biomarkers for diagnosing cancer at an early stage. Cancer leads to alterations in cell growth and differentiation at the molecular level, some of which are very unique. Therefore, comprehending these alterations can aid in a better understanding of the disease pathology and identification of the biomolecules that can serve as effective biomarkers for cancer diagnosis. Metabolites, among other biomolecules of interest, play a key role in the pathophysiology of cancer whose levels are significantly altered while 'reprogramming the energy metabolism', a cellular condition favored in cancer cells which is one of the hallmarks of cancer. Metabolomics, an emerging omics technology has tremendous potential to contribute towards the goal of investigating cancer metabolites or the metabolic alterations during the development of cancer. Diverse metabolites can be screened in a variety of biofluids, and tumor tissues sampled from cancer patients against healthy controls to capture the altered metabolism. In this review, we provide an overview of different metabolomics approaches employed in cancer research and the potential of metabolites as biomarkers for cancer diagnosis. In addition, we discuss the challenges associated with metabolomics-driven cancer research and gaze upon the prospects of this emerging field.
