Diabetes and gastric cancer incidence and mortality in the Asia Cohort Consortium: A pooled analysis of more than a half million participants. J Diabetes 2024; 16:e13561. [PMID: 38751364 PMCID: PMC11096812 DOI: 10.1111/1753-0407.13561] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2023] [Revised: 02/19/2024] [Accepted: 03/14/2024] [Indexed: 05/18/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Evidence suggests a possible link between diabetes and gastric cancer risk, but the findings remain inconclusive, with limited studies in the Asian population. We aimed to assess the impact of diabetes and diabetes duration on the development of gastric cancer overall, by anatomical and histological subtypes. METHODS A pooled analysis was conducted using 12 prospective studies included in the Asia Cohort Consortium. Among 558 981 participants (median age 52), after a median follow-up of 14.9 years and 10.5 years, 8556 incident primary gastric cancers and 8058 gastric cancer deaths occurred, respectively. Cox proportional hazard regression models were used to estimate study-specific hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) and pooled using random-effects meta-analyses. RESULTS Diabetes was associated with an increased incidence of overall gastric cancer (HR 1.15, 95% CI 1.06-1.25). The risk association did not differ significantly by sex (women vs men: HR 1.31, 95% CI 1.07-1.60 vs 1.12, 1.01-1.23), anatomical subsites (noncardia vs cardia: 1.14, 1.02-1.28 vs 1.17, 0.77-1.78) and histological subtypes (intestinal vs diffuse: 1.22, 1.02-1.46 vs 1.00, 0.62-1.61). Gastric cancer risk increased significantly during the first decade following diabetes diagnosis (HR 4.70, 95% CI 3.77-5.86), and decreased with time (nonlinear p < .01). Positive associations between diabetes and gastric cancer mortality were observed (HR 1.15, 95% CI 1.03-1.28) but attenuated after a 2-year time lag. CONCLUSION Diabetes was associated with an increased gastric cancer incidence regardless of sex, anatomical subsite, or subtypes of gastric cancer. The risk of gastric cancer was particularly high during the first decade following diabetes diagnosis.

A nationwide population-based cohort of patients with new-onset diabetes and a matched reference cohort. Int J Cancer 2024; 154:1940-1947. [PMID: 38450737 DOI: 10.1002/ijc.34858] [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: 10/18/2023] [Revised: 12/05/2023] [Accepted: 12/29/2023] [Indexed: 03/08/2024]
Abstract
Diabetes mellitus and cancer are both common health issues, but the correlation between these two diseases remains unclear. We investigated the association of cumulative exposure of diabetes mellitus as an indication of hyperglycemia in terms of disease duration on multiple cancer types. We hypothesized that the risk of cancer would increase over time after the onset of diabetes. The study population consisted of a population-based cohort of 398,708 people and it was constructed from the Finnish CARING project. The Diabetes group consisted of 185,258 individuals, and the non-diabetic reference group comprised 187,921 individuals. Over 4.1 million person-years were accumulated, and the median follow-up time was 10.55 years. In the diabetes group, 25,899 cancer cases were observed compared with 23,900 cancers in the non-diabetic group. We did not find a clear relationship between the duration of diabetes mellitus and most cancer types examined. However, for cancers of the pancreas, prostate gland, bronchus, and lungs, a temporal relationship was found. Furthermore, even within the cancer types where the relationship was detected, it did not change over time. These findings indicate that diabetes does not independently increase the risk of cancer. Instead, the development of diabetes may be attributed to shared risk factors with cancer, such as obesity and/or insulin resistance accompanied by hyperinsulinemia. Thus, it is likely that the clock for increased cancer risk starts ticking already before onset of diabetes and hyperglycemia.

The effect of metabolism-related lifestyle and clinical risk factors on digestive system cancers in East Asian populations: a two-sample Mendelian randomization analysis. Sci Rep 2024; 14:9474. [PMID: 38658636 PMCID: PMC11043381 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-60122-6] [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: 12/29/2023] [Accepted: 04/18/2024] [Indexed: 04/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Metabolic factors play a critical role in the development of digestive system cancers (DSCs), and East Asia has the highest incidence of malignant tumors in the digestive system. We performed a two-sample Mendelian randomization analysis to explore the associations between 19 metabolism-related lifestyle and clinical risk factors and DSCs, including esophageal, gastric, colorectal, hepatocellular, biliary tract, and pancreatic cancer. The causal association was explored for all combinations of each risk factor and each DSC. We gathered information on the instrumental variables (IVs) from various sources and retrieved outcome information from Biobank Japan (BBJ). The data were all from studies of east Asian populations. Finally, 17,572 DSCs cases and 195,745 controls were included. Our analysis found that genetically predicted alcohol drinking was a strong indicator of gastric cancer (odds ratio (OR) = 0.95; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.93-0.98) and hepatocellular carcinoma (OR = 1.11; 95% CI: 1.05-1.18), whereas coffee consumption had a potential protective effect on hepatocellular carcinoma (OR = 0.69; 95% CI: 0.53-0.90). Triglyceride was potentially associated with a decreased risk of biliary tract cancer (OR = 0.53; 95% CI: 0.34-0.81), and uric acid was associated with pancreatic cancer risk (OR = 0.59; 95% CI: 0.37-0.96). Metabolic syndrome (MetS) was associated with esophageal and gastric cancer. Additionally, there was no evidence for a causal association between other risk factors, including body mass index, waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, educational levels, lipoprotein cholesterol, total cholesterol, glycine, creatinine, gout, and Graves' disease, and DSCs. The leave-one-out analysis revealed that the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs671 from the ALDH2 gene has a disproportionately high contribution to the causal association between alcohol drinking and gastric cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma, as well as the association between coffee consumption and hepatocellular carcinoma. The present study revealed multiple metabolism-related lifestyle and clinical risk factors and a valuable SNP rs671 for DSCs, highlighting the significance of metabolic factors in both the prevention and treatment of DSCs.

Impact of preoperative type 2 diabetes mellitus on the outcomes of patients with gastric cancer following gastrectomy: Analysis of 834 patients using propensity score matching. Biomed Rep 2023; 19:97. [PMID: 37954633 PMCID: PMC10633813 DOI: 10.3892/br.2023.1679] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2023] [Accepted: 09/26/2023] [Indexed: 11/14/2023] Open
Abstract
The purpose of the current study was to compare the outcomes of patients with gastric cancer (GC) between the type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) group and the non-T2DM group. The PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Library databases were searched from inception to March 8, 2022, to identify propensity score matching (PSM) studies that analyzed the effect of T2DM on the outcomes of patients with GC. Total complications, overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) were compared between the T2DM group and the non-T2DM group. A total of four PSM studies with 834 patients were included in the current study. There were 311 and 523 patients in the T2DM group and the non-T2DM group, respectively. Baseline characteristics of the two groups were adjusted with PSM in all the four studies, however, no significant difference was found in baseline characteristics (P>0.05). DFS was significantly worse in the T2DM group compared with that in the non-T2DM group [hazard ratio (HR), 1.45; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.10-1.90; P=0.007)]. However, after pooling up the data, there was no significant difference between the T2DM group and the non-T2DM group in terms of OS (HR, 1.41; 95% CI, 0.92-2.16; P=0.11), CSS (HR, 1.29; 95% CI, 0.92-1.81; P=0.14) and total complications (odds ratio, 1.01; 95% CI, 0.64-1.60; P=0.95). Patients with GC and T2DM are associated with poor DFS. However, there were no significant differences between the T2DM group and the non-T2DM group in terms of OS, CSS and total complications.

Abstract
This review summarizes the correlation between diabetes mellitus (DM) and gastric cancer (GC) from the perspectives of epidemiology, drug use, and potential mechanisms. The association between DM and GC is inconclusive, and the positive direction of the association reported in most published meta-analyses suggests that DM may be an independent risk factor for GC. Many clinical investigations have shown that people with DM and GC who undergo gastrectomy may have better glycemic control. The potential link between DM and GC may involve the interaction of multiple common risk factors, such as obesity, hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia, H. pylori infection, and the use of metformin. Although in vitro and in vivo data support that H. pylori infection status and metformin can influence GC risk in DM patients, there are conflicting results. Patient survival outcomes are influenced by multiple factors, so further research is needed to identify the patients who may benefit.

Abstract
AIM The 5-factor modified frailty index (MFI-5) is a stratification tool to evaluate a patient's frailty. This study determined whether the MFI-5 is associated with short- and long-term outcomes after curative gastrectomy in patients with gastric cancer. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 447 consecutive patients who underwent curative gastrectomy, and evaluated their overall survival (OS), relapse-free survival (RFS) and cancer-specific survival. RESULTS A total of 75 patients (16.8%) had high MFI-5 scores (MFI-5 ≥3). A high MFI-5 score was significantly associated with advanced age, male sex and severe postoperative complications. Patients with high MFI-5 scores had significantly poorer OS and RFS than those with low MFI-5 scores (5-year OS, 80.3% vs 59.7%, P < 0.01; 5-year RFS, 77.4% vs 54.9%, P < 0.01). Additionally, a high MFI-5 score was an independent predictor for OS (hazard ratio 1.69, 95% CI 1.09-2.61; P = 0.02) and RFS (hazard ratio, 1.80, 95% CI 1.19-2.74; P = 0.01). However, cancer-specific survival was not significantly different between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS The MFI-5 score can be predictive of postoperative morbidity and deaths from other disease after curative gastrectomy after curative gastrectomy for gastric cancer. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2023; 23: 750-756.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dietary effects on gastric and esophageal cancer by sex and smoking has rarely been investigated. METHODS Individuals who had undergone national gastric cancer screening during 2008 and had no any cancer at baseline were enrolled and followed up to 2017. The gastric and esophageal cancer risk was measured using adjusted hazard ratios (aHRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS Among 3.645 million (44.1% men), 45,741 gastric cancers (67.7% men) and 3,550 esophageal cancers (89.5% men) developed during 9 years follow-up. In adjusted analysis, a frequent intake of fruit (≥ 7 servings per week) reduced the gastric cancer risk (aHR=0.91; 95% CI, 0.83-0.99) comparing to nearly no intake in women but slightly increased male gastric cancer risk (aHR=1.06; 95% CI, 1.00-1.13). A frequent intake of dietary fruit reduced the esophageal cancer risk only in men (aHR=0.75; 95% CI, 0.62-0.92). Frequent intake of red meat (3-4/week) slightly increased the gastric cancer risk only in men (aHR=1.04; 95% CI, 1.01-1.09). The favorable effect of fruit on the gastric and esophageal cancer risk was observed only in never smoker. CONCLUSIONS The effect of fruit and red meat intake on the gastric and esophageal cancer risk differed according to sex and smoking status.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The association between long-term omeprazole use and gastric cancer (GC) risk is controversial. The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of GC in elderly community-dwelling omeprazole chronic users with/without aspirin compared to non-users. METHODS The registry of a large health management organization was searched for all community-dwelling members aged ≥65 years from January 2002 to December 2016. Data on demographics, background parameters, and chronic omeprazole and aspirin use (>11 prescriptions/year) were retrieved. Those diagnosed with new-onset GC during the study period (from January 2003) were identified. RESULTS Of 51 405 subjects who met the inclusion criteria, 197 were diagnosed with GC during a mean follow-up period of 8.74 ± 4.16 years. This group accounted for 0.7% of PPI chronic users (72/11 008) and 0.3% (125/40 397) of nonusers (P < 0.001). GC risk was directly associated with omeprazole chronic use [hazard ratio (HR) 2.03, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.51-2.73, P < 0.001] and inversely associated with aspirin chronic use (HR 0.55, 95% CI: 0.40-0.75, P < 0.001). Each year of omeprazole use increased GC risk by 9%, and each year of aspirin use decreased GC risk by 10% among omeprazole chronic users. The lowest rate of GC was found in omeprazole nonusers/ aspirin chronic users, and the highest, in omeprazole chronic users/aspirin nonusers. CONCLUSION Higher GC rate was associated with omeprazole chronic use and inversely associated with aspirin chronic use relative to omeprazole nonuse in community-dwelling elderly.

Abstract
Conventional drug discovery involves significant steps, time, and expenses; therefore, novel methods for drug discovery remain unmet, particularly for patients with intractable diseases. For this purpose, the drug repurposing method has been recently used to search for new therapeutic agents. Repurposed drugs are mostly previously approved drugs, which were carefully tested for their efficacy for other diseases and had their safety for the human body confirmed following careful pre-clinical trials, clinical trials, and post-marketing surveillance. Therefore, using these approved drugs for other diseases that cannot be treated using conventional therapeutic methods could save time and economic costs for testing their clinical applicability. In this review, we have summarized the methods for identifying repurposable drugs focusing on immunotherapy.

Abstract
Due to the poor metabolic conditions fomenting the emergence of the Warburg effect (WE) phenotype, abnormal glycometabolism has become a unique and fundamental research topic in the field of tumor biology. Moreover, hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinism are associated with poor outcomes in patients with breast cancer. However, there are a few studies on anticancer drugs targeting glycometabolism in breast cancer. We hypothesized that Oxabicycloheptene sulfonate (OBHS), a class of compounds that function as selective estrogen receptor modulators, may hold potential in a therapy for breast cancer glycometabolism. Here, we evaluated concentrations of glucose, glucose transporters, lactate, 40 metabolic intermediates, and glycolytic enzymes using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, Western blotting, and targeted metabolomic analysis in, in vitro and in vivo breast cancer models. OBHS significantly inhibited the expression of glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) via PI3K/Akt signaling pathway to suppress breast cancer progression and proliferation. Following an investigation of the modulatory effect of OBHS on breast cancer cells, we found that OBHS suppressed the glucose phosphorylation and oxidative phosphorylation of glycolytic enzymes, leading to the decreased biological synthesis of ATP. This study was novel in highlighting the role of OBHS in the remodeling of tumor glycometabolism in breast cancer, and this is worth further investigation of breast cancer in clinical trials.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Luminal gastrointestinal (GI) tract cancers, including esophageal, gastric, small bowel, colorectal, and anal cancers, are often diagnosed at late stages. These tumors can cause gradual GI bleeding, which may be unrecognized but detectable by subtle laboratory changes. Our aim was to develop models to predict luminal GI tract cancers using laboratory studies and patient characteristics using logistic regression and random forest machine learning methods. METHODS The study was a single-center, retrospective cohort at an academic medical center, with enrollment between 2004-2013 and with follow-up until 2018, who had at least two complete blood counts (CBCs). The primary outcome was the diagnosis of GI tract cancer. Prediction models were developed using multivariable single timepoint logistic regression, longitudinal logistic regression, and random forest machine learning. RESULTS The cohort included 148,158 individuals, with 1025 GI tract cancers. For 3-year prediction of GI tract cancers, the longitudinal random forest model performed the best, with an area under the receiver operator curve (AuROC) of 0.750 (95% CI 0.729-0.771) and Brier score of 0.116, compared to the longitudinal logistic regression model, with an AuROC of 0.735 (95% CI 0.713-0.757) and Brier score of 0.205. CONCLUSIONS Prediction models incorporating longitudinal features of the CBC outperformed the single timepoint logistic regression models at 3-years, with a trend toward improved accuracy of prediction using a random forest machine learning model compared to a longitudinal logistic regression model.

Abstract
Gastric cancer (GC) is the leading cause of death worldwide and the prognosis remains poor. Proliferation and apoptosis of cancer cells are regulated by microRNAs (miRNAs). We herein intended to explore the interaction of miR-21 and PTEN in GC. miR-21 inhibitor or negative control was
transfected into GC cells MGC-803 followed by analysis of miR-21 and PTEN level by RT-qPCR, PTEN protein level by western blot and cell growth by MTT and Hoechest-33342 staining. Treatment with miR-21 inhibitor reduced miR-21 expression and increased PTEN protein expression. miR-21 was negatively
associated with PTEN level. Moreover, downregulation of miR-21 decreased cell proliferation and promoted apoptosis. In conclusion, miR-21 stimulates the malignant phenotypes of GC cells by negatively regulating PTEN expression, providing novel insight into the pathogenesis of gastric cancer.

Abstract
Objective The purpose of this study is to evaluate the differences in demographic characteristics, comorbidities, and hospital outcomes in gastric cancer inpatients by sex and evaluate the risk factors for in-hospital mortality in gastric cancer inpatients by sex. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study using the nationwide inpatient sample (NIS, 2019). Our sample included 22,415 adult inpatients (age ≥18 years) hospitalized with a primary discharge diagnosis of gastric cancer that was identified by the international classification of diseases, 10th revision (ICD-10) codes of C16.x. Independent univariate binomial logistic regression models were used to evaluate the odds ratio (OR) of predictors associated with all-cause in-hospital mortality in gastric cancer inpatients by sex. Results The total number of patients admitted with gastric cancer was 22,415, out of which 62.7% were males and 37.3% were females, with the mean age at the admission of 65.5 years and 66.4 years, respectively. While studying comorbidities, we found that 41.5% percent of all patients had gastric cancer with metastasis, and there existed a significantly higher prevalence in males (42.2% vs. 40.4% in females). Other important and statistically significant comorbid conditions that were prevalent in these patients include complicated diabetes (12.2%), obesity (12.1%), depression (8%), and alcohol abuse (3.1%). Females between 50-59 years of age were at 2.5 times increased risk of mortality compared to those less than 40 years of age (OR: 2.5; 95% CI: 1.28-4.95). Conclusion Females of the age group 50-59 years are at greater risk of all-cause inpatient mortality due to gastric cancer. Black males are at increased risk of all-cause inpatient mortality compared to White males. Gastric cancer incidence and mortality rates have been down trending with the development of screening and better treatment options, but it still continues to be a major burden on the healthcare system.

Abstract
Metformin is a first-line antidiabetic drug for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2); its molecular target is AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), which is involved in many metabolic processes. Metformin not only reduces blood glucose levels and improves insulin sensitivity, but also inhibits lipolysis and reduces cardiovascular risk in patients with DM2. In recent years, it has been proven that metformin slows down the aging process, stimulates hair growth, eliminates cognitive impairment, and also has an antitumor effect. Most basic studies have shown that metformin inhibits the growth of tumor cells and promotes cellular apoptosis, while clinical studies show contradictory results. This discrepancy can be explained by the difference in the concentration of metformin between basic and clinical studies. The maximum daily dose of metformin for patients with DM2 is 2500 mg / day, and the dose used in basic research was much higher. Metformin directly activates the AMPK signaling pathway, inhibits the production of reactive oxygen species, induces the activation of mTORC1, inhibits cyclin D1, which leads to a reduction in the risk of the occurrence and development of malignant neoplasms. In addition, metformin indirectly inhibits tumor growth, proliferation, invasion and metastasis by reducing the concentration of glucose in the blood, insulin resistance, as well as by reducing inflammation and affecting the tumor microenvironment. Glycolysis plays an important role in the energy metabolism of tumors, and metformin is able to have an inhibitory effect on it. Currently, studies of the mechanism of antitumor effects of metformin are becoming more extensive and in-depth, but there are still some contradictions.

Abstract
We investigated if female survival advantage trends in cancer are consistent within Jordanian patients with cancer across different age groups and non-sex specific cancer types. We explored the King Hussein Cancer Center registry for primary malignant tumors from 2006 to 2019. The registry (n = 16,454) was stratified into three groups based on age: children (<15 years), adolescents and young adults (AYA) (modified; 15 - 49 years), and older adults (≥50 years). Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to estimate the 5-year all-site cancer-specific survival probabilities, which were compared using the log-rank test by sex and age group. Out of 16,454 eligible records, 2286 (13.9%) were children, 5975 (36.3%) were AYAs, and 8193 (49.8%) were older adults. Males outnumbered females 10,339 (62.8%) to 6115 (37.2%). The 5-year OS rates were 74.0% (71.6%-76.4%) and 72.7% (69.9%-75.5%) for pediatric males and females, respectively, 57.3% (55.6%-59.0%) and 64.5% (62.6%-66.4%) for male and female AYAs, respectively, and 37.5% (36.2%-38.9%) and 44.2% (42.3%-46.2%) for older adult males and females, respectively. Females demonstrated significantly better overall survival in the AYA and older adults' groups. In conclusion, females exhibit a survival advantage in terms of non-sex specific cancers. This advantage peaks at the AYA age stratum and mitigates thereafter. Further studies are warranted to examine the etiological factors behind such discrepancy on a site-by-site basis so that sex-specific interventions can be designed and validated.

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 Prior epidemiologic studies on the association between diabetes and gastric cancer risk provided inconclusive findings, while traditional, aggregate data meta-analyses were characterized by high between-study heterogeneity. OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between type 2 diabetes and gastric cancer using data from the 'Stomach Cancer Pooling (StoP) Project', an international consortium of more than 30 case-control and nested case-control studies, which is large and provides harmonized definition of participants' characteristics across individual studies. The data have the potential to minimize between-study heterogeneity and provide greater statistical power for subgroup analysis. METHODS We included 5592 gastric cancer cases and 12 477 controls from 14 studies from Europe, Asia, North America, and South America in a two-stage individual-participant data meta-analysis. Random-effect models were used to estimate summary odds ratios (ORs) and their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) by pooling study-specific ORs. RESULTS We did not find an overall association between diabetes and gastric cancer (pooled OR = 1.01, 95% CI, 0.94-1.07). However, the risk of cardia gastric cancer was significantly higher among individuals with type 2 diabetes (OR = 1.16, 95% CI, 1.02-1.33). There was no association between diabetes and gastric cancer risk in strata of Helicobacter pylori infection serostatus, age, sex, BMI, smoking status, alcohol consumption, fruit/vegetable intake, gastric cancer histologic type, and source of controls. CONCLUSION This study provides additional evidence that diabetes is unrelated to gastric cancer overall but may be associated with excess cardia gastric cancer risk.

Abstract
Purpose The current study aims to explore the outcomes of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) on gastric cancer patients following gastrectomy through propensity score matching (PSM) analysis. Methods A retrospective study of gastric cancer patients following gastrectomy was conducted in a single clinical center from January 2014 to December 2019. The short-term outcomes, overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were analyzed between T2DM group and Non-T2DM group. Results A total of 703 patients were enrolled in this study. After 1:1 PSM, 84 patients in T2DM group and 84 patients in Non-T2DM were matched for final analysis. No significant difference was found in terms of operation time, intra-operative blood loss, retrieved lymph nodes, postoperative stay, blood transfusion and complications between T2DM group and Non-T2DM group (p > 0.05). The Kaplan-Meier curve implied that T2DM had no impact on OS or DFS. Cox regression was conducted to identify predictive factors for prognosis. Body mass index (BMI) (p = 0.039 < 0.05, HR = 0.725, 95% CI = 0.534–0.983), pre-operative lymphocyte (p = 0.017 < 0.05, HR = 0.678, 95% CI = 0.493–0.932), pathological tumor node metastasis (pTNM) stage (p = 0.000 < 0.05, HR = 2.619, 95% CI = 2.048–3.349) and complications (p = 0.006 < 0.05, HR = 1.528, 95% CI = 1.132–2.061) were predictive factors for OS, and BMI (p = 0.013 < 0.05, HR = 0.524, 95% CI = 0.315–0.872), pTNM stage (p = 0.000 < 0.05, HR = 2.619, 95% CI = 2.048–3.349) and complications (p = 0.008 < 0.05, HR = 1.892, 95% CI = 1.179–3.036) were independent predictive factors for DFS. Conclusion T2DM did not have an impact on gastric cancer patients following gastrectomy in terms of short-term outcomes and prognosis.

[PMID: 35256755 PMCID: PMC9276667 DOI: 10.1038/s41416-022-01758-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2021] [Revised: 01/29/2022] [Accepted: 02/10/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Background We aimed to explore if hyperglycaemia and hyperinsulinemia in the diabetes and prediabetes population were associated with increased risk of cancer occurence. Methods Overall, 1700 participants with different glycaemic statuses were screened from the 110,660 residents of Da-Qing, China, in 1985. They were followed up to 30 years to access cancer outcomes. Results Cancer was identified in 15.2% (259/1700) of the participants. The incidence of cancer in the normal glucose tolerance (NGT), impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and diabetes groups was 6.06, 6.77, and 7.18 per 1000 person-years, respectively (P = 0.02). In the Fine-Gray model with all cause death as competing risk, compared with the NGT controls, both IGT and diabetes groups demonstrated significantly higher risk of cancer (for the IGT group, adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) = 1.77, 95% CI 1.38–2.27, P < 0.0001; for the diabetes, aHR = 3.34, 95% CI 2.64–4.22, P < 0.0001). Among the IGT participants, progress to diabetes (aHR = 2.28, 95%CI 1.24–4.20, P = 0.008) and insulin-area under the curve at baseline (for 1 SD increase, aHR = 1.39, P = 0.02) were also associated with the risk of cancer after adjustment of covariables. Conclusions Hyperglycaemia in patients with diabetes, hyperinsulinemia, and progression to diabetes in people with IGT is significantly associated with the long-term increased risk of cancer occurrence.

Abstract
Background This systematic review and meta-analysis examined associations between serum levels of haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and glucose and the risk of gastric cancer. Methods MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane Library were searched for studies examining associations between serum levels of HbA1c or glucose and the risk of gastric cancer. Inclusion of studies, quality assessment, and data extraction were conducted independently by two authors. Pooled hazard ratios (HR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were synthesised using random-effects models. Cochran’s Q test and I2 statistic were used to assess heterogeneity. Results Among 3473 identified studies, 12 were included. Of these, 5 studies examined HbA1c levels and 7 studies examined serum glucose levels. Serum HbA1c levels >6% were associated with an increased risk of gastric cancer (HR 1.36, 95% CI 1.06–1.74). When compared with the lowest glucose categories, the highest glucose categories were associated with a borderline increased risk of gastric cancer (HR 1.11, 95% CI 0.98–1.26). In subgroup analyses, studies that adjusted for Helicobacter pylori infection indicated stronger associations between elevated HbA1c levels and gastric cancer (HR 2.08, 95% CI 1.46–2.98) than those without such adjustment (HR 1.10, 95% CI 0.91–1.32). Conclusions Long-standing poor glycaemic control may increase the risk of gastric cancer. Registration number PROSPERO CRD42020157453.

Abstract
Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) is the integration of multiple
perioperative evidence-based medical practices into a single pathway aimed at
eliminating surgical liabilities and improving treatment accuracy to enhance
patients' postoperative outcomes. The ERAS Society has been developing
guidelines that are widely applicable in the surgical field. ERAS pathways in
selective and noncomplicated cases are extensively practiced. However, the ERAS
literature excludes patients with comorbidities, such as gastric cancer
complicated with diabetes mellitus (DM). Current ERAS guidelines exclude
patients with DM in enhanced recovery programs because of insufficient
evidence-based medicine on the molecular physiology of the patients in response
to surgical insult. Therefore, it is important to implement accelerated
rehabilitation surgery for patients with gastric cancer and DM. This review
discusses the feasibility and necessity of applying ERAS guidelines to patients
with gastric cancer complicated by DM. In addition, we documented the need to
lay a logical foundation for enhanced recovery after surgery in patients with
gastric cancer complicated by DM.

Abstract
Compelling pieces of evidence derived from both clinical and experimental research has demonstrated the crucial contribution of diabetes mellitus (DM) as a risk factor associated with increased cancer incidence and mortality in many human neoplasms, including gastric cancer (GC). DM is considered a systemic inflammatory disease and therefore, this inflammatory status may have profound effects on the tumor microenvironment (TME), particularly by driving many molecular mechanisms to generate a more aggressive TME. DM is an active driver in the modification of the behavior of many cell components of the TME as well as altering the mechanical properties of the extracellular matrix (ECM), leading to an increased ECM stiffening. Additionally, DM can alter many cellular signaling mechanisms and thus favoring tumor growth, invasion, and metastatic potential, as well as key elements in regulating cellular functions and cross-talks, such as the microRNAs network, the production, and cargo of exosomes, the metabolism of cell stroma and resistance to hypoxia. In the present review, we intend to highlight the mechanistic contributions of DM to the remodeling of TME in GC.

Abstract
In recent years, the incidence of various types of tumors has gradually increased, and it has also been found that there is a certain correlation between abnormal glucose and lipid metabolism and tumors. Glycolipid metabolism can promote tumor progression through multiple pathways, and the expression of related genes also directly or indirectly affects tumor metabolism, metastasis, invasion, and apoptosis. There has been much research on targeted drug delivery systems designed for abnormal glucose and lipid metabolism due to their accuracy and efficiency when used for tumor therapy. In addition, gene mutations have become an important factor in tumorigenesis. For this reason, gene therapy consisting of drugs designed for certain specifically expressed genes have been transfected into target cells to express or silence the corresponding proteins. Targeted gene drug vectors that achieve their corresponding therapeutic purposes are also rapidly developing. The genes related to glucose and lipid metabolism are considered as the target, and a corresponding gene drug carrier is constructed to influence and interfere with the expression of related genes, so as to block the tumorigenesis process and inhibit tumor growth. Designing drugs that target genes related to glucose and lipid metabolism within tumors is considered to be a promising strategy for the treatment of tumor diseases. This article summarizes the chemical drugs/gene drug delivery systems and the corresponding methods used in recent years for the treatment of abnormal glucose and lipid metabolism of tumors, and provides a theoretical basis for the development of glucolipid metabolism related therapeutic methods.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus and malignant tumors are among the most common and complex diseases. Epidemiological studies have shown a strong relationship between these pathologies. The causality of this relationship has not yet been unambiguously established, but a number of probable biological mechanisms have been proposed to explain it through the effects of hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia on the process of oncogenesis. An important role in this is played by the axis of insulin-like growth factors, their receptors and binding proteins (IGF / IGFR / IGFBP). The review provides data on the structural elements of the insulin / IGF / IGFR / IGFBP signaling axis and their internal relationships in diabetes mellitus and in the development of malignant tumors. Significant changes in the axis that occur during the formation of the diabetic environment prepare the background, which, under certain conditions, can lead to the stimulation or inhibition of tumor development. The considered signaling system, playing a significant role in the physiology of normal cells, often functions as a decisive factor in the survival of tumor cells, providing fine context-dependent regulation of many cellular processes associated with oncogenesis. However, despite many years of in-depth studies of the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus and malignant tumors, the molecular mechanisms of the relationship between these pathologies are still largely unclear, and the internal heterogeneity of pathologies complicates research and interpretation of the results, leaving many questions.

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
Although Helicobacterpylori infection is the most important causative factor for gastric cancer (GC), H. pylori eradication alone does not completely eliminate the GC risk. In addition to H. pylori eradication, other risk factors for GC should be identified and targeted. Diabetes mellitus (DM) confers a 20% increased risk of GC, which could be mediated via several biological mechanisms including the stimulation of cell proliferation via hyperinsulinemia and increased insulin-growth factor production, the promotion of angiogenesis, and DNA damage. With a current global prevalence of 9.3% and a predicted rise to 10.2% by 2030, DM could contribute substantially to the burden of GC cases worldwide. Emerging evidence showed that metformin possesses chemopreventive effects via both direct (e.g., adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase activation and subsequent inhibition of the mammalian target of rapamycin pathway) and indirect (e.g., modulation of the interaction between tumor cells and their microenvironment and gut microbiota) pathways. A recent meta-analysis of observational studies showed that metformin use was associated with 24% lower GC risk. However, many available observational studies related to metformin effects suffered from biases including the failure to adjust for the H. pylori infection status and serial glycemic control and time-related biases. Future prospective studies addressing these pitfalls are needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has been associated with an increased risk of developing several common cancers, but it is unclear whether this association is causal. We aimed to summarize the evidence on T2DM and cancer and evaluate the validity of associations from both observational and Mendelian randomization (MR) studies. METHODS We performed an umbrella review of the evidence across meta-analyses of observational studies that examined associations of T2DM with risk of developing or dying from site-specific cancers, and MR studies that explored the potential causal association of T2DM and associated biomarkers with cancer risk. RESULTS We identified eligible observational meta-analyses that assessed associations between T2DM and cancer incidence for 18 cancer sites, cancer mortality for seven sites, and cancer incidence or mortality for four sites. Positive associations between T2DM and six cancers reached strong or highly suggestive evidence. We found eight MR studies assessing the association of genetically predicted T2DM and seven and eight studies assessing the association of genetically predicted fasting insulin or fasting glucose concentrations, respectively, upon site-specific cancers. Positive associations were found between genetically predicted T2DM and fasting insulin and risk of six cancers. There was no association between genetically predicted fasting plasma glucose and cancer except for squamous cell lung carcinoma. CONCLUSIONS We found robust observational evidence for the association between T2DM and colorectal, hepatocellular, gallbladder, breast, endometrial, and pancreatic cancers. IMPACT Potential causal associations were identified for genetically predicted T2DM and fasting insulin concentrations and risk of endometrial, pancreas, kidney, breast, lung, and cervical cancers.

Abstract
Obesity is a major risk factor for a large number of secondary diseases, including cancer. Specific insights into the role of gender differences and secondary comorbidities, such as type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cancer risk, are yet to be fully identified. The aim of this study is thus to find a correlation between the transcriptional deregulation present in the subcutaneous adipose tissue of obese patients and the oncogenic signature present in multiple cancers, in the presence of T2D, and considering gender differences. The subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) of five healthy, normal-weight women, five obese women, five obese women with T2D and five obese men were subjected to RNA-sequencing, leading to the identification of deregulated coding and non-coding RNAs, classified for their oncogenic score. A panel of DE RNAs was validated via Real-Time PCR and oncogene expression levels correlated the oncogenes with anthropometrical parameters, highlighting significant trends. For each analyzed condition, we identified the deregulated pathways associated with cancer, the prediction of possible prognosis for different cancer types and the lncRNAs involved in oncogenic networks and tissues. Our results provided a comprehensive characterization of oncogenesis correlation in SAT, providing specific insights into the possible molecular targets implicated in this process. Indeed, the identification of deregulated oncogenes also in SAT highlights hypothetical targets implicated in the increased oncogenic risk in highly obese subjects. These results could shed light on new molecular targets to be specifically modulated in obesity and highlight which cancers should receive the most attention in terms of better prevention in obesity-affected patients.

Risk of gastrointestinal cancer in patients with an elevated level of gamma-glutamyltransferase: A nationwide population-based study. PLoS One 2021; 16:e0245052. [PMID: 33544706 PMCID: PMC7864398 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0245052] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2020] [Accepted: 12/21/2020] [Indexed: 01/09/2023] Open
Abstract
Emerging evidence that an elevated serum gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) level is associated with an increased risk of gastrointestinal cancer, but still controversial. The aim of this study to assess the relationship between GGT level and risk of gastrointestinal cancer, and the contribution of the interaction of hyperglycemia with elevated GGT level to the incidence of gastrointestinal cancer by the stratified analysis. A total of 8,120,665 Koreans who received medical checkups in 2009 were included. Subjects were classified according to the quartile of GGT level for women and men. The incidence rates of gastrointestinal cancer for each group were analyzed using Cox proportional hazards models. During follow-up, 129,853 cases of gastrointestinal cancer newly occurred (esophagus, 3,792; stomach, 57,932; and colorectal, 68,789 cases). The highest GGT quartile group showed an increased risk of gastrointestinal cancer (esophagus, hazard ratio = 2.408 [95% confidence interval, 2.184–2.654]; stomach, 1.121 [1.093–1.149]; and colorectal, 1.185 [1.158–1.211]). The risk increased significantly with the rise in GGT quartile level, regardless of the site of cancer. The stratified analysis according to glycemic status showed that the effect of elevated GGT was predominant in the risk of esophageal cancer. The effect of elevated GGT further increased the risk of stomach and colorectal cancers in diabetic patients. An elevated level of GGT was associated with an increased risk of gastrointestinal cancer, regardless of the site of cancer. The effect of the increase in GGT level on the risk of gastrointestinal cancer depended on the type of cancer and glycemic status.

Abstract
Malignant tumors are a major cause of death, and their incidence is increasing worldwide. Although the survival rate for some cancers has improved, treatments for other malignant tumors are limited, and their mortality rate continues to increase. People with type 2 diabetes have a higher risk of malignant tumors and a higher mortality rate than those without diabetes. Metformin is a commonly used hypoglycemic drug. In recent years, a growing number of studies have indicated that metformin has antitumor effects and increases the sensitivity of malignant tumors to chemotherapy. However, the effect of metformin on different tumors is currently controversial, and the mechanism of metformin's antitumor action is not fully understood. Insights into the effect of metformin on malignant tumors and the possible mechanism may contribute to the development of antitumor drugs.

Abstract
Background Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the malignant tumors with high incidence in China. At present, the relationship between type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and the therapeutic effect of various malignant tumors has attracted more and more attention. This study aimed to investigate whether T2DM is a prognostic factor for patients with GC. Methods Patients who had GC and who were admitted to our hospital from November 2008 to December 2015 were included in the study. Among these patients, 84 patients GC complicated with T2DM (GC + T2DM) were enrolled in the observation group, and 215 patients with normal blood glucose were enrolled in the control group. Patients' general information was collected by referring to their electronic and paper medical records, and their living status was followed up by conducting a telephone survey, referring to their hospitalization record, and performing an outpatient review. A propensity score matching method was used to select a 1:1 matched control for each patient with GC and diabetes. An overall survival curve was established using the Kaplan-Meier method. The survival rate was compared via a log-rank test. A Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to the analyse single and multiple factors affecting patient outcomes. Results Before matching was conducted, the differences in gender, stage, treatment, and comorbidity were found to be statistically significant (P>0.05). After matching was completed, the clinical data and pathological differences between the two groups were not statistically significant (P<0.05). A histogram matching the pre- and post-propensity scores showed that the matching was successful. The results of the Cox regression model revealed that grouping, pathological type, and treatment were the independent risk factors of the survival of patients with GC. Survival analysis found that the 3-year, 5-year, and overall survival rates of the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusions T2DM plays an important role in the development of GC, and is a prognostic factor among patients with GC.

Abstract
Purpose The long-term prognostic impact of the hemoglobin A1c levels has not yet been evaluated in patients with gastric cancer. The present study investigated the clinical significance of the hemoglobin A1c levels in patients with gastric cancer. Methods We enrolled 294 patients with stage II, III, or IV gastric cancer who underwent gastrectomy. The patients were divided into high preoperative hemoglobin A1c (> 6.0%) and low preoperative hemoglobin A1c (≤ 6.0%) groups. Results In patients with stage III gastric cancer with severe postoperative complications, the high preoperative hemoglobin A1c group had a significantly worse prognosis than the low preoperative hemoglobin A1c group (p = 0.0409). In patients without severe postoperative complications, the high preoperative hemoglobin A1c group had a significantly favorable prognosis compared with the low preoperative hemoglobin A1c group (p = 0.0348). Conclusion The prognosis of patients with stage III gastric cancer having high preoperative hemoglobin A1c levels greatly depended on the presence or absence of postoperative complications. To avoid postoperative complications, optimal perioperative management and personalized treatments are critical, particularly for these patients.

Association of Genetic Polymorphisms in TNFRSF11 with the Progression of Genetic Susceptibility to Gastric Cancer. JOURNAL OF ONCOLOGY 2020; 2020:4103264. [PMID: 32655638 PMCID: PMC7327555 DOI: 10.1155/2020/4103264] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/29/2020] [Revised: 05/10/2020] [Accepted: 06/01/2020] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
Objective To investigate the relationship between polymorphism of TNFRSF11 gene rs9533156 and rs2277438 and susceptibility to gastric cancer. Methods A case-control study was conducted to select 577 cases of primary gastric cancer and 678 cases of normal control. We extracted whole blood genomic DNA and amplified the target gene fragment by PCR. The genotyping and allele were tested through the snapshot method. Results In this case-control study, we observed that there was a difference in the genotype distribution of TNFRSF11 gene rs9533156 between the case group and the control group. The frequency distribution of TC heterozygous mutation in the case group was higher than that in the control group. The smoking rate in the case group (34.49%) was higher than that in the control group (27.29%), and the difference in frequency distribution between the two groups was statistically significant (P=0.006). Our findings suggest that TNFRSF11 rs9533156 is associated with susceptibility to GC, which is more evident among elderly patients (>62 years), nonsmokers, and patients who do not consume alcohol. The analysis of the relationship between the TNFSF11 gene rs9533156 site variant and clinical factors of gastric cancer showed that, compared with the tumor size <2 cm group, patients with tumor size ≥2 cm and whom carrying rs9533156 site mutations had a higher frequency distribution, and the difference was statistically significant (P=0.022). Compared with the nonhyperglycemic group, the frequency distribution of patients with rs9533156 site mutations in the diabetes group was higher, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.001). Conclusion This study shows that there is a correlation between smoking and the occurrence of gastric cancer. Based on our research, the functional SNP TNFRSF11 TC genotype may be an indicator of individual susceptibility to GC. The mutation at rs9533156 may be related to the size of gastric cancer. The mutation rate of rs9533156 of TNFSF11 gene is higher in diabetic gastric cancer patients.

Abstract
Multimorbidity has great impact on health care. We constructed multimorbidity networks in the general population, extracted subnets focused on common chronic conditions and analysed type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) comorbidity network. We used electronic records from 3,135,948 adult people in Catalonia, Spain (539,909 with T2DM), with at least 2 coexistent chronic conditions within the study period (2006-2017). We constructed networks from odds-ratio estimates adjusted by age and sex and considered connections with OR > 1.2 and p-value < 1e-5. Directed networks and trajectories were derived from temporal associations. Interactive networks are freely available in a website with the option to customize characteristics and subnets. The more connected conditions in T2DM undirected network were: complicated hypertension and atherosclerosis/peripheral vascular disease (degree: 32), cholecystitis/cholelithiasis, retinopathy and peripheral neuritis/neuropathy (degree: 31). T2DM has moderate number of connections and centrality but is associated with conditions with high scores in the multimorbidity network (neuropathy, anaemia and digestive diseases), and severe conditions with poor prognosis. The strongest associations from T2DM directed networks were to retinopathy (OR: 23.8), glomerulonephritis/nephrosis (OR: 3.4), peripheral neuritis/neuropathy (OR: 2.7) and pancreas cancer (OR: 2.4). Temporal associations showed the relevance of retinopathy in the progression to complicated hypertension, cerebrovascular disease, ischemic heart disease and organ failure.

Abstract
We assessed gastric cancer risk in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. Gastric cancer patients with diabetes between 2001–2012 were identified. Four groups were analysed: combination therapy with metformin users; insulin and other medication users; metformin and insulin users; and sulfonylurea users. Standardised incidence ratios (SIRs) for gastric cancers as a ratio of the observed number of cancer cases in people with diabetes to the expected number of cancer cases in the underlying general population were calculated. A total of 99,992 patients with diabetes were analysed and 337 gastric cancer cases in patients with diabetes were observed when compared to the expected number of 400.54 gastric cancer cases, according to the cancer rates of the general population (SIR 0.84, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.76–0.94). Lower risk of gastric cancer was found both in male and female patients with diabetes, however, risk among females was insignificantly lower. Higher gastric cancer risk was found in the group of diabetic patients treated with sulfonylureas (SIR 1.31, 95% CI: 1.04–1.65) and significantly lower risk than expected from the general population was found in the group of metformin users (SIR 0.75, 95% CI: 0.66–0.86). Type 2 diabetes mellitus was not associated with increased risk of gastric cancer. Metformin might decrease the risk of gastric cancer in patients with diabetes, while sulfonylureas may increase gastric cancer risk.

Abstract
Background: Insulin resistance, the primary mechanism of metabolic syndrome, promotes gastric carcinogenesis. Metabolic syndrome is associated with sarcopenia. We aimed to investigate the association between sarcopenia and gastric carcinogenesis, including precancerous conditions such as atrophic gastritis (AG), intestinal metaplasia (IM), and dysplasia. Methods: The study included adult patients who underwent gastroduodenoscopy at a checkup center. AG and IM were evaluated using endoscopy. Based on muscle mass, sarcopenia was defined as a skeletal muscle index <1 standard deviation below the sex-specific mean for healthy adults aged 20–39 years (cutoff point: 29.3% for males and 26.7% for females). Obesity was defined as a body mass index (BMI) ≥25 kg/m2 according to the Asia-Pacific criteria. Sarcopenic obesity was defined as a combination of sarcopenia and obesity. The association between gastric carcinogenesis and sarcopenia was evaluated. Results: Among 8,356 enrolled participants, 0.14 and 42.5% were diagnosed with gastric cancer and precancerous conditions, respectively. Approximately 41.7% of gastric cancer patients and 16.9% of patients with precancerous conditions were diagnosed with sarcopenia. Both sarcopenic obesity (odds ratio [OR] = 4.139, P = 0.016) and diabetes mellitus (DM) (OR = 5.152, P = 0.005) were significantly associated with gastric cancer. Sarcopenia, DM, hypertension, dyslipidemia, Helicobacter pylori infection, smoking, and alcohol consumption were significantly associated with precancerous conditions. Conclusions: Sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity were associated with gastric carcinogenesis and may be novel risk factors for gastric carcinogenesis.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a common worldwide endocrine disorder characterized by hyperglycemia resulting from defects in insulin secretion and insulin action or both. A number of clinical studies have investigated diabetes and its causal relation with neoplasm. Several epidemiological studies have found that diabetic patients have an increased risk of different types of cancers, for example liver, pancreas, gastric (stomach), colorectum, kidney, and breast, and it is predicted that hyperglycemic state observed in diabetic milieu enhances the cancer risk in prediabetic and diabetic individuals. To explore the strength of evidence and biases in the claimed associations between type 2 DM (T2DM) and risk of developing cancer, an umbrella review of the evidence across published meta-analyses or systematic reviews is performed. The concurrence of T2DM with the growing burden of cancer globally has generated interest in defining the epidemiological and biological relationships between these medical conditions. Through this review, it was found that diabetes could be related to cancer. Yet, the results from most of the studies are obscure and conflicting and need a robust research so that the link between diabetes and cancer could be firmly and impeccably documented.

Abstract
Identifying prognostic factors by affordable tools is crucial for guiding gastric cancer (GC) treatments especially at earlier stages for timing interventions. The autonomic function that is clinically assessed by heart rate variability (HRV) is involved in tumorigenesis. This pilot study was aimed to examine whether nonlinear indices of HRV can be biomarkers of GC severity. Sixty-one newly-diagnosed GC patients were enrolled. Presurgical serum fibrinogen (FIB), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA199) were examined. Resting electrocardiogram (ECG) of 5-min was collected prior to surgical treatments to enable the HRV analysis. Twelve nonlinear HRV indices covering the irregularity, complexity, asymmetry, and temporal correlation of heartbeat fluctuations were obtained. Increased short-range temporal correlations, decreased asymmetry, and increased irregularity of heartbeat fluctuations were associated with higher FIB level. Increased irregularity and decreased complexity were also associated with higher CEA level. These associations were independent of age, sex, BMI, alcohol consumption, history of diabetes, left ventricular ejection fraction, and anemia. The results support the hypothesis that perturbations in nonlinear dynamical patterns of HRV predict increased GC severity. Replication in larger samples as well as the examination of longitudinal associations of HRV nonlinear features with cancer prognosis/survival are warranted.

Diabetes Care 2019; 42:1769-1775. [PMID: 31296646 DOI: 10.2337/dc19-0437] [Citation(s) in RCA: 31] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2019] [Accepted: 06/21/2019] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Whether diabetes mellitus (DM) increases risk of gastric cancer (GC) remains controversial because of inadequate adjustments for important risk factors, including Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection status, concomitant medication use, and cancer site. We investigated whether type 2 DM increased risk of GC in patients after they received treatment for HP infection. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This was a territory-wide cohort study of patients aged ≥45 years who had received clarithromycin-based triple therapy for HP infection between 2003 and 2012 in Hong Kong. Data were retrieved from a public electronic health database. Observation started from receipt of therapy for HP infection to GC diagnosis, death, or the end of the study (December 2015). Exclusion criteria included type 1 DM, GC diagnosed within the 1st year of HP therapy, prior GC or gastrectomy, and retreatment for HP infection. The adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) of GC with type 2 DM was calculated by using a Cox model that adjusted for 20 covariates (age, sex, comorbidities, and medications) through propensity score regression. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 7.1 years (interquartile range 4.8-9.3 years), 153 of 46,460 patients (0.33%) developed GC at a median age of 72.4 years. Type 2 DM was associated with an increased risk of GC (aHR 1.73 [95% CI 1.08-2.79]). Stratified analysis showed an increase in risk for cardia cancer only (aHR 3.40 [95% CI 1.45-7.97]) and in those with suboptimal DM control (time-weighted mean HbA1c ≥6.0% [42 mmol/mol]; aHR 1.68 [95% CI 1.07-2.63]). CONCLUSIONS Type 2 DM is associated with an increased risk of GC among patients in whom HP was eradicated, in particular gastric cardia cancer and in those with suboptimal DM control.

Abstract
AIM To examine effects of diabetes mellitus (DM) on survival in gastric or esophageal (GE) cancer and the cancers' effects on glycemic control. MATERIALS & METHODS Patients with GE cancer with and without DM were matched 1 to 1 (2006-2016). Characteristics were compared and survival assessed with Kaplan-Meier method and Cox regression. Mixed models compared hemoglobin A1c and glucose over time. RESULTS Among DM cases, mean hemoglobin A1c was 6.8% in the year after cancer diagnosis. Three-year overall survival was 46% with DM versus 52% without DM (hazard ratio [95% CI]: 1.95 [1.14-3.34]; p = 0.02). CONCLUSION GE cancer and its treatment did not affect glycemic control. Risks of death and progression were greater for patients with DM than patients without DM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies investigating the association between metabolic syndrome (MetS) and incidence of gastric cancer (GC) showed inconsistent results. The aim of the study was to evaluate the influence of MetS on GC risk in a meta-analysis. METHODS Cohort studies that evaluating the association between MetS and GC were identified via systematic search of PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Scopus databases. Pooled analyses were performed via a random-effect model or a fixed effect model according to the heterogeneity among the studies. Predefined subgroup analyses were performed to evaluate whether gender or ethnic group of the patients affected the results. RESULTS Overall, eight cohort studies with 8,745,671 participants were included, and 37,245 GC cases occurred during follow-up. Results showed that MetS defined by the revised National Cholesterol Education Program's Adults Treatment Panel III criteria was not associated with a significantly affected GC risk (adjusted risk ratio [RR]: 1.03, p = 0.59; I2 = 79%). Subgroup analyses showed that MetS was not associated with a significantly affected risk of GC in male or female patients, and in Asians or Caucasians. Moreover, meta-analysis of four datasets showed that MetS defined by the International Diabetes Federation criteria was also not associated with a significant affected risk of GC (adjusted RR: 0.80, p = 0.05; I2 = 0%). CONCLUSIONS These results indicated that current evidence from epidemiological studies does not support that patients with MetS are at higher risk for the development of GC.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the changes in blood glucose of elderly patients with gastric cancer combined with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) after radical operation. Forty-six patients in DM group and 30 patients in non-DM group underwent radical surgery between January, 2007 and January, 2017 in The First Hospital of Lanzhou University, and the clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. Statistical analysis was conducted to explore the effect of radical operation on blood glucose control of the two groups of patients. In 46 patients with gastric cancer combined with T2DM, 24 patients received postoperative insulin intervention, and the remaining 22 patients did not receive insulin intervention. This latter set of patients comprised the non-insulin treatment group. Blood glucose control conditions, inflammatory markers, tumor markers and their effects on the prognosis were compared between the two groups. Level of postoperative blood glucose of the DM group was significantly higher than that of the non-DM group (P<0.05), while the level of blood glucose in the insulin treatment group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). Levels of related tumor markers and inflammatory factors of insulin treatment group were significantly higher than those of the control group (P<0.05). The 5-year survival rate of insulin treatment group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). Our results showed that the level of blood glucose was significantly increased in elderly patients with gastric cancer combined with T2DM after radical operation, and levels of blood glucose, tumor markers and inflammatory factors in elderly gastric cancer patients with T2DM without insulin were significantly increased after radical operation, and long-term prognosis is poor.
