Abstract:
Objective To investigate the correlation of blood glucose,blood pressure and body weight with pancreatic cancer.Methods From January 2011 to December 2013,110 patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in our hospital were selected as the observation group and 110 agematched cases without cancer during the same period were selected as the control group.The percentages of patients with diabetes,hypertension and elevated body mass index (BMI) were analyzed in both groups.Results The number of patients with diabetes was higher in the observation group than in the control group (32 cases or 29.1% vs.16 cases or 14.6%,P<0.05).The proportions of pancreatic cancer patients with diabetes duration ≤ 2 years,2~5 years and 5~10 years were higher in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05).The proportion of subjects with increased BMI was higher in the observation group than in the control group (24.6% or 27cases vs.10.9% or 12 cases,P<0.05).The proportions of patients with diabetes combined with increased BMI and of patients with hypertension and increased BMI were higher in the observation group than in the control group (17.3% or 19 cases vs.2.7% or 3 cases,10.9% or 12 cases vs.2.7% or 3 cases,respectively,P< 0.05 for both).Conclusions Diabetes,hypertension,and elevated BMI can be considered as risk factors for pancreatic cancer,and it is possible that these factors are involved in the development of pancreatic cancer.
