Overview

Diabetes mellitus and pancreatic cancer establish both-side relationship, one disease may have influence a development of the other. Pathogenic mechanisms sharing their relationship are overviewed. Early diagnosis may contribute to better prognosis of the patients with malign tumor. The treatment by antidiabetic drugs offer to diabetic patients different risks of pancreatic cancer but lots of data are still lacking.

Key words:
antidiabetic drugs – diabetes mellitus – early diagnosis – pancreatic carcinoma – pathogenic mechanisms
