Studies have shown that diabetes can increase the risk of multiple cancers

has long been speculated that there is a link between diabetes and cancer, but previous reports have often found inconsistent results. Type 2 diabetes can increase the risk of a variety of cancers, including 11 cancers involving men and 13 cancers involving women, according to a new study in China.
shanghai Jiaojiao University School of Medicine and other institutions used information from the Shanghai database to conduct the "largest" study to date on the link between type 2 diabetes and cancer risk. The researchers first identified more than 410,000 adults with type 2 diabetes with no history of cancer between July 2013 and December 2016, and then followed up with 8,485 newly diagnosed cancer cases by December 2017.
diabetes is a chronic disease, of which type 2 diabetes is the most common. The study showed that men and women with type 2 diabetes had a 34 percent and 62 percent higher risk of cancer than men and women in the normal population. Among men, the highest risk is prostate cancer, with type 2 diabetes leading to an 86 percent higher risk of prostate cancer. Among women, the highest risk is nasopharyngeal cancer, and type 2 diabetes causes a more than twice the risk of nasopharyngeal cancer.
, type 2 diabetes can also lead to an increased risk of leukemia, thyroid cancer, lymphoma, liver cancer, pancreatic cancer, stomach cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer and other diseases.
