ANTIDIABETIC TREATMENT AND CANCER PREVALENCE IN DIABETIC PATIENTS
Abstract
Background: There can be a possible relationship between diabetes mellitus and cancer development, according to the literature. The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between diabetes and prevalence of cancer.
Method: This study consisted of 306 patients with diabetes who referred to Haseki Training and Research Hospital Diabetes outpatient clinic between 2000–2002. Patients were followed up until October 2011 and medical records were evaluated. The prevalence of cancer was investigated retrospectively in these patients. Findings were evaluated statistically.
Results: The prevalence of was cancer was established to be 3.3% in the present study. The relation between the ages and HDL-cholesterol values of patients and cancer prevalence was found to be statistically significant, respectively p 0.024 and 0.037.
Conclusion: Cancer prevalence was found to be higher than that in the normal population. However, the number of cases was low, which may be the reason why results in other studies are not similar. There is agreement that cancer prevalence increases in diabetic patients.
