High fasting sugar levels increase risk of gastric cancer in postmenopausal women: Study
High fasting glucose has been indicated in relation to a higher risk of gastric cancer (GC), but the majority of studies have focused on diabetes (fasting glucose {greater than or equal to} 126 mg/dL).
In a new study, the researchers led by Tao Thi Tran investigated whether fasting glucose levels, including prediabetic and diabetic levels, influence gastric cancer (GC), incidence
They found that high fasting glucose levels are associated with the development of gastric cancer (GC) in postmenopausal women.The results of the study provide evidence for future planning and management regarding cancer prevention.
High fasting glucose levels have been linked to an increased risk of gastric cancer GC, however the bulk of investigations have concentrated on diabetes (fasting glucose levels more than or equal to 126 mg/dL).
The researchers wanted to know if fasting glucose levels, including prediabetic and diabetic levels, impact GC incidence. The findings of this study were published in the American Association for Cancer Research on 10th November, 2021.
