Abstract:
It has been found that diabetes is closely correlated with the occurrence of colorectal cancer, as an independent risk factor for colorectal cancer. In order to prolong the survival time and to improve the quality of life of colorectal cancer patients with diabetes, many studies have explored the influence of diabetes on the prognosis of patients with colorectal cancer in recent years. Some studies have confirmed diabetes is related to the prognosis of colorectal cancer, while other studies have suggested that diabetes is not correlated with the prognosis of colorectal cancer. Until now, it is still unclear whether the presence of diabetes has impact on the prognosis of colorectal cancer. Therefore, this problem has become one of the hot topics in cancer research field recently. This article reviews the research progress in the relationship between diabetes and the prognosis of patients with colorectal cancer.
