What kind of cancers are increased in peoples with diabetes?

No clear connection: Numerous reports have suggested that patients with diabetes have a higher risk of dying from cancer- probably because of the multiple organ problems associated with diabetes.

Epidemiologic studies show an increased risk for cancers of the liver, pancreas, endometrium, colon, rectal, breast, bladder and non-hodgkins lymphoma.

Pancreatic.: There may be other cancers diabetics are at increased risk for, but the important one is pancreatic cancer. Long standing diabetes increases the risk. So does smoking.

Many: Hyperinsuinemia seen in type 2 diabetes is suspected to cause increased incidence of the following cancers: pancreatic cancer, colorectal, prostate, endometrial, liver, breast, renal cell cancers, and non-hodgkin’s lymphoma.
