Diabetes Cancer
Diabetes • Behavioral factors • Diet • Physical activity • Adiposity Cancer
Diabetes • Metabolic factors • Insulin • IGF • Cytokines, hormones • Behavioral factors • Diet • Physical activity • Adiposity Cancer
Putative mechanisms for cancer- diabetes association (prostate excluded) • Both reflects common exposure (diet high in fats and energy, low in fibers; low level of physical exercise) • Reduced insulin sensitivity with compensatory hyperinsulinemia and elevated levels of IGF-1 stimulation of cell proliferation • Insulin activates IGF-1 receptor, known to have growth-promoting effects • Excess insulin down-regulates the level of IGF-BP1 increase in the IGF-1 availability to the IGF-1 receptor
Putative role of diabetes treatment in the development of cancer – Saskatchewan Health database(1) • Population-based cohort study ~ 1,000,000 subjects • Compared cancer-related mortality according to new treatment by OAD or insulin in type 2 diabetic patients • Cancer mortality over 5.4±1.9 yrs of follow-up : • 4.9% in sulfonylurea monotherapy users • 3.5% in metformin users (3.3% in monotherapy) • 5.8% in insulin users (vs 3.6% without insulin) • HR for cancer death in SU vs metformine = 1.3 (1.1-1.6) and insulin vs no insulin = 1.9 (1.5-2.4) Bowker SL et al. Diabetes Care 2006; 29: 254-8
Putative role of diabetes treatment in the development of cancer (2) • Limitations of the Saskatchewan study1 : • observational data and clinicians’ prescibing could be affected by cancer • no information on glycaemic control, BMI, smoking status… • no information on cancer incidence • DARTS pilot observational study2 : • case-control study using a population-based databases on 314,127 subjects including 11,876 T2D patients 923 K • adjusted* for any exposure to metformine = 0.77 (0.64-0.92) • dose-response relationship HR for this effect • reduction of cancer risk with metformine via AMPK/LKB1 ? • limitations : observational; influence of K on clinicians’prescribing ? 1Bowker SL et al. Diabetes Care 2006; 29: 254-8 2Evans JMM et al. BMJ 2005; 330: 1304-5 *adjusted for BMI,BP, smoking
Putative mechanisms for prostate cancer- diabetes association • Reduced insulin response in diabetic patients ? • Commun factor increasing the risk of diabetes and decreasing the risk of prostate cancer : obesity inducing a decrease in androgens level ? • rather good evidence from animal models • low testosterone level in diabetic and obese patients
T2 diabetes and pancreatic cancer • Meta-analysis of 36 (17 case-control and 19 prospective) studies by Huxley • = 1.82 (1.66-1.99) • Influence of diabetes duration on : 2.1 (1.9-2.3) if < 5 yrs vs 1.5 (1.3-1.8) if ≥ 5 yrs* • Reverse causality in part : diabetes can be an early manifestation of pancreatic cancer • No evidence to screen for pancreas K in Diab. * p = 0.005 Huxley R et al. Br J Cancer 2005; 92: 2076-83
Diabetes after cancer • Decreased physical activity • Increased sarcopenic adiposity • Higher diabetes risk once cancer occurs
Cancer after diabetes • Higher morbidity with Rx • Higher mortality • Higher recurrence (breast) • Worsening of diabetes control as an alert signal for cancer
Impact of PG level on cancer risk • Swedish study1: - absolute risk of any cancer over 20 yrs in a woman in the bottom vs top quartile of FPG : 7% and 9% respectively (7% and 11% after correction for random FPG variation) - fraction of all cancers attributable to a high level of PG : 5% (95% CI = 2-8%) for FPG and 4% (1-8%) for 2h-PG [10% (7-15%) and 9% (6-15%) after correction] • Korean study2 : 802/20,566 cancer deaths in men and 46/5907 in women estimated to be attributable to “high” FPG level (≥ 90 mg/dl) 1-Stattin P et al. Diabetes Care 2007; 30 : 561-7 2-Jee SH et al. JAMA 2005; 293: 194-202
Conclusions • Moderate increase (~ +25%) of cancer risk in diabetic patients, mainly digestive cancers • To reduce cardiovascular complications remains the priority in diabetic patients • Obesity is a common risk factor for diabetes and cardiovascular disease but also, directly, for cancer • To prevent obesity is the major Public Health concern at the present time

Obesity and cancer • Major risk factor - both men and women • Post menopausal breast • Endometrial • Colorectal • Esophageal • Liver • Renal • Prostate (advanced disease at higher obesity levels) Associations with diabetes independent of obesity
Physical activity and DM • Protective for both men and women • Overlaps with obesity • Improves insulin sensitivity
Physical activity and cancer • Protective for both men and women • Overlaps with obesity • Apparent independent benefits for breast and colon cancer
Liver cancer and diabetes • Shared obesity factor • Fatty liver • Cytokines • Cholestasis
Cancer recommendations DM recommendations CHD recommendations
Policy opportunities for reversing the obesity epidemic • Convergence of evidence for cancer, heart disease, diabetes - Though the fear of single diseases may be more motivating than fear of collective diseases • Collaboration across disease- specific governmental and NGO groups • ACS, AHA, ADA partnership
