A review of the last decade: pancreatic cancer and type 2 diabetes.

Pancreatic cancer (PC) is a prevalent gastrointestinal tumour known for its high degree of malignancy, resulting in a mere 10% five-year survival rate for most patients. Over the past decade, a growing body of research has shed light on the intricate bidirectional association between PC and Type 2 diabetes (T2DM). The collection of PC- and T2DM-related articles is derived from two comprehensive databases, namely WOS (Web of Science Core Collection) and CNKI (China National Knowledge Infrastructure). This article discusses the last 10 years of research trends in PC and T2DM and explores their potential regulatory relationship as well as related medications.
