Researchers have discovered that insulin resistance, typically linked with type 2 diabetes, is also present in cancer patients and can accelerate the spread of the disease. In the 1920s, scientists found that the urine of cancer patients had a sweet odor. Initially, this left doctors perplexed, but
A new study reveals that cancer cells respond poorly to insulin, leading to insulin resistance, which can cause cancer cells to multiply faster and affect muscle mass, emphasizing the negative link between cancer and insulin resistance. The research encourages oncologists to vigilantly monitor blood sugar levels in cancer patients and calls for more studies to explore effective treatments and identify at-risk groups.
The sweet-smelling urine suggested that cancer affects the body’s blood sugar level. But how? A new study is ready to answer that question. Where previous studies have examined the connection between cancer and, Lykke Sylow and colleagues’ new study is the first to compile the best research on the topic, and the answer seems to be clear:
Symptoms of type 2 diabetes such as fatigue and increased thirst and urination develop gradually and can therefore be hard to spot. And in cancer patients, insulin resistance can be even harder to identify as they already experience some of these symptoms, e.g. fatigue.The researchers conducted a meta-analysis of 15 studies of insulin sensitivity and cancer. This included 187 patients suffering from different types of cancer, including lung and colon cancer, and 154 control subjects.
