Can Diabetes Cause Uterine Cancer? ICMR sheds light

#diabetes #uterinecancer #ICMR
Diabetes is a global health crisis, with millions being diagnosed each year. While complications such as heart disease, kidney disease, and nerve damage are well-known, a lesser-known but equally serious complication is the increased risk of uterine cancer.
The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) has highlighted a crucial link between type 2 diabetes and a rise in uterine cancer cases, emphasizing that managing diabetes involves more than just blood sugar control.
According to ICMR, diabetes mellitus (DM) significantly increases the risk of endometrial cancer (EC). Women with type 2 diabetes are twice as likely to develop EC, with high blood sugar levels potentially contributing to the growth and spread of endometrial cancer cells. The connection between these conditions can be partly attributed to obesity, a common factor in both. Excess weight disrupts healthy hormone production, leading to high insulin levels in diabetes, which may also promote uncontrolled cell growth seen in uterine cancer. Obesity can trigger chronic inflammation, creating an environment conducive to cancer development.
