NEW YORK (Reuters Health) May 14 –
In diabetics at high-risk for pancreatic cancer, there appears to be a 3-year period following diagnosis that is critical for detecting cancers at an early stage, researchers report. Although diabetics are known to be at risk for pancreatic cancer, criteria have not yet been established for screening these patients.
The current findings suggest that there is a window during which the risk of developing pancreatic cancer may peak.
The study reported in the May 1st issue of Cancer included 86 diabetics who had begun to show signs of pancreatic abnormalities.
The patients were divided into two groups based on whether diabetes was diagnosed within the last 3 years or earlier.
