Diabetes and the risk of breast cancer increased close
A study of the Swedish case-control studies indicate, diabetes and breast cancer risk increased by 40%, the researchers is Professor Hakan Olsson. Even when adjusted for obesity, dyslipidemia, mixed, the two still have relevance, especially in 4 years diagnosed with cancer is more obvious. The authors also found, the use of long-acting insulin analogue insulin glargine ( Lantus, Sailuofei ) in diabetic patients with overall cancer risk with correlation. Oral antidiabetic drug metformin, on the contrary, have lower cancer risk trends, but no statistical difference.
There is a correlation between does not mean that there is a causal relationship
Although the results of the study reveal the diabetes and breast cancer are related, but from the medical point of view, there is a correlation between things does not necessarily mean that a causal relationship exists, that is to say, although diabetes and breast cancer risk, but not a simple understanding of breast cancer because of diabetes leads to, or have diabetes will get breast cancer.
A very vivid metaphor can explain the correlation and causation of difference: a father and son relationship is causal, because of the father, will have a son; and the father and the son 's uncle is a relationship, but not because of the father, so the son's uncle
