High blood glucose increases stomach cancer risk
Fumie Ikeda, Yasufumi Doi, Koji Yonemoto, et al. Hyperglycemia Increases Risk of Gastric Cancer Posed by Helicobacter pylori Infection: A Population-Based Cohort Study. Gastroenterol 2009; 136: 1234-1241.
ABSTRACT
Background & Aims
Although diabetes mellitus and hyperglycemia are considered to be possible risk factors for various types of malignancy, the epidemiologic evidence concerning gastric cancer is scarce. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels on gastric cancer occurrence and their interaction with Helicobacter pylori infection.
... Conclusions
Our findings suggest that casual hyperglycemia is a risk factor for gastric cancer and is a possible cofactor increasing the risk posed by Helicobacter pylori infection.
