Developing cancer was associated with increased risk for later diabetes in a nationally representative sample of the Korean general population. Diabetes is a risk factor for several types of cancer and some previous research suggests cancer increases the risk of developing new diabetes.
Cancer was associated with an increased risk of diabetes, even after taking into account precancer risk factors, and that increased risk was highest in the first two years after cancer diagnosis.
Patients with cancer can develop other clinical problems like diabetes, with higher frequency than those without cancer, routine diabetes screening may help the patients.
