Background: Cancer has become the leading cause of death among individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) in high-income countries. T2D is suggested to directly influence cancer progression. However, the association between T2D and melanoma stage at diagnosis remains uncertain, as well as any potential sex disparities.

Methods: A population-based survey in 2020 targeted individuals with type 2 diabetes (aged 18-75 years) in the Central Denmark Region.
Background: Cancer has become the leading diabetes-related cause of death in high-income countries, and more knowledge is needed to clarify the impact of diabetes on site-specific cancers. The purpose of this study is to assess the association between diabetes and malignant melanoma by conducting a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis.
Methods: Using predefined eligibility criteria, PubMed, The Cochrane Library and Web of Science were systematically searched up to February 22, 2023.
Background: Comorbidity with type 2 diabetes (T2D) results in worsening of cancer-specific and overall prognosis in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. The treatment of CRC per se may be diabetogenic. We assessed the impact of different types of surgical cancer resections and oncological treatment on risk of T2D development in CRC patients.

- Premature death in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) is increasingly linked to cancer, prompting a study to investigate excess mortality in these cases.
- The study involved a large cohort of 690,539 individuals with T2D in Sweden, analyzing various risk factors and their impact on mortality during nearly 4.8 million person-years of follow-up.
- Findings revealed that individuals with T2D and cancer face a significantly higher mortality rate, with smoking and low physical activity identified as the most impactful modifiable risk factors for survival.
