Title
Type 2 diabetes prevention diet and the risk of pancreatic cancer in the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian Cancer Screening Trial
Summary
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a serious threat to human health and is a predisposing factor for many chronic diseases including cardiovascular disease and cancer [1]. A dietary diabetes risk reduction score was developed for T2D prevention, which features high intakes of cereal fiber, polyunsaturated fats, nuts, and coffee; and low amounts of carbohydrates, trans fat, sweets, and red and processed meat [2]. Previous study has reported that greater adherence to the T2D prevention diet was associated with a lower risk of developing Hepatocellular carcinoma among US men and women [3]. However, there are no epidemiological studies evaluating the potential association between T2D prevention diet and pancreatic cancer risk.
