    Type 1 diabetes can cause numerous cancers

    Type 1 diabetes can cause numerous cancers
    Washington D.C.: If you are Type 1 diabetes patient, then you must not neglect your health and should regularly visit a doctor, as new study has revealed that the type 1 diabetes is associated with an increased risk of various cancers.

    The European Association for the Study of Diabetes researchers have found that that type 1 diabetes is associated with an increased risk of various cancer types including cancers of the stomach, liver, pancreas, endometrium, ovary and kidney, but a reduced risk of other cancer types, including prostate and breast cancer.

    The study found that the overall cancer risk among men with type 1 diabetes was largely due to a 44percent decreased incidence of prostate cancer, the most common non-skin cancer among men.

    When the authors excluded data for sex-specific cancer types ( prostate, testis, breast, cervix, endometrium and ovary), excess cancer risk appeared in both men and women with type 1 diabetes (15 percent for men and 17 percent for women).

    For specific cancer sites among people with type 1 diabetes, the study revealed increased risks of cancers of the stomach (23 percent for men, 78 percent for women); liver (two-fold among men, 55 percent for women); pancreas (53 percent for men, 25 percent for women), endometrium (42 percent ) and kidney (30 percent for men, 47 percent for women).

    Conversely, women with type 1 diabetes were 10 percent less likely to have a diagnosis of breast cancer, although the reasons for this are unclear.

    The study also reported that cancer incidence was highest shortly after diagnosis of diabetes. Cancer incidence was substantially higher among both men (2.3 times increased risk) and women (2.3 times) with type 1 diabetes during the first year of follow-up compared with longer follow-up.

    The authors suggest that their findings of an increased cancer risk among persons with diabetes may be due to a common mechanism such as elevated blood sugar levels occurring among both type 1 and type 2 diabetes patients.

    They opined that the findings do not support changes in policy for cancer screening for persons with type 1 diabetes.

    Researchers recommended the lifestyle approaches to reduce cancer risk such as avoiding smoking, weight management and physical activity apply to persons with type 1 diabetes as for the general population.

    The study is published in the journal of Diabetologia.
