Diabetes Mellitus and Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma—Prevalence, Clinicopathological Variables, and Clinical Outcomes

Abstract: Background: pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the seventh leading cause of cancer-related deaths with increasing incidence and link to the onset of diabetes mellitus (DM). The aim of this study is to describe the prevalence of DM among patients with the diagnosis of PDAC, analyse the association between the occurrence of DM and clinicopathological factors, and detect variables influencing overall survival. Methods: a retrospective analysis of medical records was performed. The patients were divided in… Show more

“…Compared to long-standing DM, it is linked to lower overall survival rates [ 44 ], but blood glucose levels were significantly improved after pancreatectomy [ 45 , 46 , 47 ]. Moreover, new-onset DM acts protectively against chemotherapy, as these patients are more resistant to neutropenia [ 48 ]. To manage cancer-related DM, metformin was considered the treatment of choice, as it was found to suppress tumor development [ 49 , 50 ].…”

“…There is growing evidence that diabetes is a high risk factor for PC incidence, 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 and patients with diabetes have a 1.5‐ to 2‐fold increased risk of developing PC. 7 Nevertheless, the impact of diabetes on the prognosis of PC remains uncertain.…”

“…This type of diabetes carries a heightened risk for PC, particularly compared to LSDM. Hence, NODM is considered an early marker of PC (Anna et al, 2022;Satish et al, 2015;Shreya et al, 2022). LSDM typically affects adults over 40 and is often linked to insufficient insulin production.…”
