15. Diabetes and cancer prognosis
Is there an association?
Poorer prognosis suggested in diabetics with breast, prostate and colon cancer.
Association is unclear: Direct (hyperglycemia, insulin) vs. indirect (obesity, comorbidities)
No data on: duration of diabetes, degree of glycemic control, and diabetes therapy
Strong association between obesity and DMII
Obese patients tend to do worse: Colon cancer, pancreatic cancer, breast cancer
In 2003, an article in the NEJM estimated that obesity could account for:
14% of all deaths from cancer in men
20% of all deaths from cancer in women

Endogenous and exogenous insulin
2. Hyperglycemia
3. Chronic Inflammation
Association = Cause
23. Biologic links between diabetes and cancer: Hyperinsulinemia
Increased tumor vascularity

Increase in estrogen/testosterone
24. Untreated hyperglycemia may facilitate tumor growth (data sparse & conflicting):
TPN and end stage cancer
FDG-PET for cancer staging
Tumor targeting: combining anti-cancer treatments to glucose moieties

26. Metformin
Most commonly used drug for DMII
Mechanism: decreases hepatic gluconeogenesis, and circulating insulin
Associated with improved prognosis in breast and pancreatic cancer:
Proposed mechanisms metformin-mediated cancer protection:
1. Radiation and chemo sensitizer (pancreas and breast cancer)
2. mTOR pathway inhibition
3. Activation of the AMP kinase pathway in tumors
4. Decrease circulating insulin and glucose
Do diabetes treatments influence cancer risk or prognosis?

30. Diabetes and pre-clinical pancreatic cancer
Long standing diabetes increases risk of pancreas cancer by 2-4 fold.
New onset diabetes in adults is associated with 1-2% risk of PDAC within 3 yrs
Pancreas Cancer – Depressing facts
Only 15% of patients with PDAC have resectable disease
Only 15- 20% of patients with resectable disease are alive at 5yrs
5 yr overall survival of PDAC is 6%
US incidence of PDAC is increasing by 1.5%/yr (2020 = 2nd leading cause of cancer death)
How can we detect PDAC at earlier stages?
Biomarkers to identify patients with new onset DM and preclinical PDAC
31. Aim:
Metabolite biomarkers to identify which patients with new onset DM are at risk for PDAC
Methods:
PDAC pts (n=36) with DM (within 3 yrs) vs. matched pts (n=22) without PDAC and DM
Results:
15 serum metabolites found to discriminate between both groups:
elaidic acid, uric acid, 2,3-propanediol, arachidonic acid, docosahexanoic acid,
5-oxo-EET, lysine, LysoPC(18:2), 9(10)-EpOME, LysoPC(16:0), sphingosine-1-phosphate
Conclusions:
Elevation of 15 serum metabolites may identify pts with new onset DM and PDAC
Larger validation studies needed
How do you identify the most appropriate control group?
Discriminant, identifiable plasma metabolites in pancreatic cancer–associated diabetes
J Clin Oncol 32, 2014 (suppl 3; abstr 180)
32. Conclusions
-DMII associated with increased incidence and worse outcomes in some cancers:
(liver, pancreas, breast, colorectal, endometrial bladder)
- Association b/w DM and cancers may in part be due to shared risk factors
- Mechanisms linking DM and cancer: hyperinsulinemia, hyperglycemia, inflammation
- Metformin may have direct and indirect anti-tumor effects
- Biomarkers linking new onset diabetes and early pancreas cancer are needed
33. What you can do
• Are you at high risk for developing diabetes?
• For diabetics: Hgb A1c : less than 6 is the goal
• Control: diet, exercise, alcohol, obesity, smoking
• Health maintenance:
– Annual physical exam (pre-diabetes screening)
– Screening colonoscopy (age 50).
– Screening mammograms (age 40).
– Annual CT scan for lung cancer screening in high risk
patients (30 pack-yr smoking history).
– Annual Pap smear (age 21 -65)
Now we will turn our attention to the number of new cancers projected for the US this year. It is estimated that more than 1.6 million new cases of cancer will be diagnosed in 2014. The most common cancers are estimated to be prostate in men and breast in women; lung and colorectal cancers are the second and third most common cancers in both men and in women.
Lung cancer is by far the leading cause of cancer death among men (28%), followed by prostate (10%) and colon & rectum (8%) cancers. Among women, lung (26%), breast (15%), and colon & rectum (9%) cancers are the leading causes of cancer death.
The next four slides look at the lifetime probability of developing cancer and relative survival rates of cancer.
Presently, the risk of an American man developing cancer over his lifetime is a little less than one in two.
The risk of an American woman developing cancer over her lifetime is a little more than one in three.
In the SEER 9 areas (covering approximately 10% of the US population), survival rates for all cancers presented on this slide have improved significantly since the 1970s, due largely to earlier detection and/or advances in treatment. Survival rates have markedly increased for cancers of the prostate, breast, colon, and rectum, and for leukemia. Progress has been slower for cancers of the pancreas and lung and bronchus.
Ins R – A isoform most commonly expressed by cancers. Ins receptors homodimerize and herterodimerize with IGF-Rs
Direct effect of insulin on cell signalling
Indirect effect: High serum insulin in type 2 diabetics inhibits liver production of IGFBP 1 and 2 > increase in circulating IGF
Several human tumors express IGFRs, and cancer cell lines proliferate in response to exogenous IGF
Insulin inhibits hepatic production of IGFBPs 1 and 2 > increase in circulating IGFs > mitogenic signaling and cancer growth and progression.
Indirect effect of high insulin: decreased hepatic production of sex hormone binding globulin > increased levels of estrogen/testosterone > higher risk of post menopausal breast, endometrial cancer.
1 in 3 americans or 83 million people are pre-diabetic.
Pre-diabetes screening Qs: family hx of diabetes, overweight, gestational diabetes, child birth >9lbs, age >65, exercise <3x/wk
Exercise must be at least 3x/week
