Summary: Observational study of nondiabetic French men. Peripheral hyperinsulinemia, indicative of very high portal insulin concentrations, predicted fatal liver cancer in these nondiabetic men, but was inversely associated with fatal lip, oral cavity, and pharynx cancer; stomach cancer; and larynx cancer
Key Takeaways
A study of 6237 nondiabetic patients showed that elevated levels of insulin was associated with fatal liver cancer, but these patients also had less incidence of lip, mouth, throat, and stomach cancer.
