Diabetes is strongly tied with increased kidney cancer risk among non-obese postmenopausal women, suggests a study published in the MATURITAS.
"The number of kidney cancer cases has been increasing for several decades, so we think it is important to identify risk factors of kidney cancer to aid in early detection" stated that lead study author Shuo Wang.
In the last few decades, various studies have demonstrated a significant linkage between diabetes and kidney cancer. However, it is still not very clearly if diabetes is a risk factor for kidney cancer independent of other risk factors, like obesity and hypertension.
