The book focuses on the underlying mechanisms contributing to the association between diabetes and cancer. The chapters explain the involvement of insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia in promoting the development and progression of cancer cells. The book also explores the common pathways of inflammation and oxidative stress, shedding light on their significance in the context of diabetes and cancer. The book imparts knowledge of several underlying mechanisms involving different forms of cancer linked to diabetes, including breast cancer, colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, liver cancer, and bladder cancer. The book includes the relationship between diabetes and cancer, which is crucial for various stakeholders, including patients, caregivers, healthcare providers, researchers, and policymakers. It provides a comprehensive overview of the connection between diabetes and cancer, the underlying mechanisms, and strategies for reducing the risk of both diseases. The book includes practical information on lifestyle changes, diabetes prevention programs, cancer screening, and medical interventions, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in improving their health. This book is targeted at physicians, oncologists, endocrinologists, researchers in the fields of oncology and diabetes, and students pursuing relevant medical or scientific disciplines.
