Diabetic patients have the chance of infecting deadly cancer very early. The research conducted in pancreatic cancer patients reveals that most of the cancer victims are undergoing treatment for Type 2 diabetes.It also pointed out that it is really hard to recognize this type of illness with its late or rare symptoms.

People realize the disease only after the condition became incurable and worst. In the case of diabetic patients, the condition of the illness became deteriorated by spreading it to other parts of the body. Diagnosing cancer in the early stages helps to cure the disease also can lead a normal life.

A team of researchers examined a million patients with Type 2 diabetes in Belgium and Italy. They say that the same people have diagnosed earlier with pancreatic cancer. Around 50 percent stated that they have been diagnosing cancer since one year and it may continue until the end of their lives.

The researchers also revealed that these people reached four times under the risk of treating cancer during the first quarter of their diabetes treatment. The research also points out that insulin injection increases the risk of pancreatic cancer seven-fold.

They can realize the stage of risk by checking the medical history of the patient and type of medicines they are using, researchers from the International Prevention Research Institute says. "Because pancreatic cancer finally becomes symptomatic and is thus diagnosed, it looks like it is the intake of incretin drugs that could be the trigger of pancreatic cancer," lead author, Professor Philippe Autier says, Daily Mail reports.

Pancreatic cancer refers the extraordinary increment of cells in the pancreas. It is a large gland supporting digestive system in the body. Most of them diagnosed with the disease are above 75 years and there is less chance to infect the illness to the people under 40 years.
