Type-2 diabetes mellitus-associated cancer risk : In pursuit of understanding the possible link

Copyright © 2022 Diabetes India. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved..

BACKGROUND AND AIM: The insulin resistance-mediated abnormal gluconeogenesis when exceeds a given threshold culminates in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This induces severe cellular oxidative stress that may eventually facilitate typical neoplastic transformations. This narrative review aims to portray some of the plausible key mechanistic links bridging T2DM and specific cancers.

METHODS: A thorough literature search was conducted in the PubMedCentral database to retrieve information from various reputed biomedical reports/articles published from the year 2000. The information regarding the key biochemical signaling pathways mediating the carcinogenic transformation, especially in T2DM patients, was extensively excavated to systematically compile and present a narrative review.

RESULTS: T2DM-associated insulin resistance is known to negatively influence certain crucial genetic and metabolic components (such as insulin/IGFs, PI-3K/Akt, AMPK, and AGEs/RAGE) that may eventually lead to neoplastic transformation. In particular, the risk of developing cancers like pancreatic, colorectal, breast, liver, endometrial, and bladder seems to be more significant in T2DM patients.

CONCLUSION: Despite the fact that several studies have suggested a possible correlation between T2DM and cancer mortality, a more detailed research at both pre-clinical and clinical levels is still required so as to fully understand the intricate relationship and make a precise conclusion.
