Type 1 diabetes mellitus and risk of cancer: a meta-analysis of observational studies

ConclusionThis meta-analysis suggests that type 1 diabetes is associated with the increased risk of several types of cancer and the decreased risk of breast cancer. However, the plausible mechanisms for the decreased risk of breast cancer remain unclear. Further prospective studies with proper adjustment for possible confounding factors are warranted.
