The number of new cases cancer is increasing each year, and rates diabetes mellitus are also dramatically over time. It not an unusual occurrence for individual to have both at the same time, given they individually common, that one condition can increase risk other. In this manuscript, we use national-level (Virtual Diabetes Register) (New Zealand Cancer Registry) data on nearly five million individuals 44 person-years follow-up examine amongst a national prevalent cohort patients with diabetes. We completed analysis separately by 24 most commonly diagnosed cancers in Aotearoa New Zealand, then compared among those without found rate was highest 21 common our study period, excess ranging between 11% (non-Hodgkin's lymphoma) 236% (liver cancer). greatest difference incidence tended be within endocrine or gastrointestinal system, and/or had strong relationship obesity. However, absolute sense, due volume breast, colorectal lung cancers, prevention more modest (16%, 22% 48%, respectively) would lead substantial overall reduction total burden population. Our findings reinforce fact activities activities, must therefore prioritised resourced tandem.
