Abstract

Diabetes and cancer are two complicated and common diseases that have received a lot of attention in the fields of medical and public health. The goal of this in-depth review article is to offer a full analysis of the complex connection between cancer and diabetes. The review starts out by exploring the epidemiological data connecting these two illnesses, underlining the elevated risk of cancer among those with diabetes. The various underlying mechanisms are then explored, including hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, persistent inflammation, and common risk factors including obesity. This article additionally explores how managing diabetes affects cancer outcomes and vice versa. It highlights the value of interdisciplinary care approaches and clarifies the difficulties faced by those who deal with both disorders. The review also emphasizes recent advances in the field, such as the use of antidiabetic drugs in the treatment and prevention of cancer, as well as the possibility of precision medicine to personalize care for those who have both cancer and diabetes. This comprehensive review highlights the complex interactions between cancer and diabetes and stresses the necessity for a multidisciplinary approach to care, early detection, and management techniques that address both disorders simultaneously. For those who are impacted by these difficult co-morbidities, the changing landscape of research in this area offers promise for improved outcomes and a higher quality of life.
