Alterations of glucose metabolism occur frequently in association with pancreatic cancer. Whether diabetes predisposes or is a consequence of pancreatic cancer has not been settled. We have found that induced diabetes prevents development of pancreatic cancer in the hamster model and that genetically diabetic Chinese hamsters resist pancreatic cancer induction, whereas the nondiabetic strain does not. Also, preliminary clinical data indicates that diabetes is associated with pancreatic cancer and that the two conditions develop simultaneously. We have found diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance in 76% of the pancreatic cancer patients at the time of cancer diagnosis. The diabetic condition improved after 75% pancreatectomy. Although the preliminary observations suggest that diabetes accompanies the disorder of pancreatic cancer, additional data are needed before any conclusion can be drawn.
