Diabetes and pre-diabetes are also connected with a poor diet or obesity
SINGAPORE: The National University of Singapore announced in a press release late last week that a research team has discovered new findings that could explain how a poor diet or uncontrolled diabetes could, over time, increase the risk of cancer.
Patients who inherited a faulty version of the cancer gene BRCA2 from their parents were studied by the research team. This gene causes them to have a high risk of developing breast or ovarian cancers. Individuals who’ve not inherited a faulty version of BRCA2 but may have higher-than-normal levels of methylglyoxal, including pre-diabetes or diabetes patients, may show the same warning signs of a higher risk of developing cancer.
These findings raise awareness of the impact of diet and weight control in the management of cancer risks,” said Dr Li Ren Kong, a Lee Kuan Yew Fellow from N2CR and the study’s first author.
