“…Numerous articles-have been published on how oral cancer, smoking, DM, and alcohol intake influence each other (13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19). Our research team was among the first to identify a strong correlation between DM and malignant oral cancers (20)(21)(22)(23) and MRONJ (24) both in Hungary and Austria (25) This issue is also addressed in the current study. This study explored the association between DM, smoking, alcohol intake, and malignant oral lesions in terms of sex and age.…”

Awareness and practice of oral complications due to diabetes mellitus among diabetes patients at Chengalpattu district, India: A cross-sectional study

“…Hyperglycemia-induced oxidative Awareness about oral complications among diabetes patients stress and DNA damage, insulin receptor activation, and insulin-like growth factor receptor activation via hyperinsulinemia, which results in accelerated cell cycle progression or chronic inflammation, are potential explanations for the correlation between DM and cancer. 16 Therefore, individuals with diabetes who are directed to dental care specialists for evaluation and monitoring should have oral screening done. Education and duration since diagnosis of diabetes was observed in our study to strongly predict awareness of all oral complications of diabetes.…”

Editorial: The relationship between diabetes and cancers and its underlying mechanisms, volume II

“…Current evidence has been evaluated by a systematic review and metaanalysis which indicated that patients with DM have a higher risk in developing oral cancer and oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMD), and patients with oral cancer suffering from DM have a higher mortality (7). Retrospective research also confirmed an association between glucose metabolism disorder (GMD) and oral cancer, by screening 573 patients who had undergone maxillofacial surgery under general anesthesia (8).…”

“…The morbidity of diabetes and various cancers has been increasing around the globe, suggesting that there may be a potential relationship between DM and cancer morbidity or mortality ( 3 , 4 ). Moreover, the association of DM with oral conditions has been studied for years ( 5 , 6 ), and recent studies have demonstrated the possible linkage between DM and oral cancer ( 7 , 8 ). Current evidence has been evaluated by a systematic review and meta-analysis which indicated that patients with DM have a higher risk in developing oral cancer and oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMD), and patients with oral cancer suffering from DM have a higher mortality ( 7 ).…”
