“…The most clear-cut finding of this study is a very strong association of pancreatic cancer with a history of diabetes mellitus. The development of diabetes de n o w about the same time as the appearance of symptoms of pancreatic cancer is well recognised (Hargrove et al, 1960). We found 12 (43%) of diabetic cancer cases had their diabetes diagnosed less than 1 year prior to the cancer diagnosis.…”

A case-control study comprising 216 cases of pancreatic cancer and 279 controls was conducted to investigate the relationship of pancreatic cancer with certain chronic medical conditions and with the consumption of tea, coffee and alcoholic beverages. Significant positive associations with pre-existing diabetes mellitus and gall-bladder disease were observed and there was weak evidence of association with liver disease. The relative risks for diabetes mellitus and gallstones diagnosed at least one year previously were 4.1 (p = 0.005) and 2.8 (p = 0.01) respectively. Cases drank significantly more beer than controls (p = 0.005) and there was evidence of a positive trend in risk with total alcohol consumption. Smoking was a clear risk factor, but cases and controls were very similar with respect to tea and coffee drinking habits.

“…The risk for those diagnosed as having diabetes mellitus within the last 5 years of cancer is elevated almost 6-fold. The development of diabetes as a symptom of pancreas cancer has been recognized in previous studies (Hargrove et al, 1960;Kessler, 1970;Wynder et al, 1973;Whittemore et al, 1983;Hiatt et al, 1988;Cuzick and Babiker, 1989), though no such association has been found in some case-control studies (Lin and Kessler, 1981;Gold et al, 1985;Mack et al, 1986). Past history of allergies from hay fever, eczema, and asthma appear to convey protection in this study.…”

Results are reported from a population-based study of 249 cases of pancreas cancer and 505 controls carried out in Toronto, Canada, between 1983 and 1986. Lifetime consumption of coffee and alcohol and medical histories were assessed by personal interviews. No evidence of any association was found with different types of coffee or alcohol after adjusting for smoking, calories and fibre intake. There was a significant increased risk associated with a history of diabetes mellitus within 5 years of cancer development. A protective effect of a history of some allergic conditions, hay fever, eczema and asthma, was observed, although the relative risks were not significant (p value greater than 0.10).
