Targeting of PP2Cδ By a Small Molecule C23 Inhibits High Glucose-Induced Breast Cancer Progression In Vivo

“…STZ-induced hyperglycemia dramatically stimulated tumor growth in vivo . This observation is consistent with several lines of evidence showing a robust correlation between blood glucose levels and tumor growth in vivo (11, 18, 22, 49). C23 therapy significantly decreased tumor burden, as shown by end-point tumor volumes (Fig.…”

Diabetes and urothelial cancer risk: The Multiethnic Cohort Study

“…Other studies that examined the association with bladder cancer mortality, however, found it to be either slightly stronger in men than women [4], or similar in men and women [14]. We did not find evidence for an association within Japanese Americans, in contrast to other studies among Asian populations, including Korean men [5] and Taiwanese men and women [14]. Ours is the first study to suggest that the association may also be apparent among African Americans.…”

Impact of diabetes mellitus on oncological outcomes after radical hysterectomy for early stage cervical cancer

“…Furthermore, we found that early stage cervical cancer patients with type 2 DM had a decreased OS after controlling for comorbid conditions such as obesity and other clinicopathological factors. These results concur with an earlier study [ 15 19 ]. Similarly, Shah et al [ 8 ] evaluated the impact of DM on progression-free survival (PFS) and OS in 367 women with epithelial ovarian cancer.…”
