Abstract
Critically analyzed statistical data demonstrate that the incidence of cancer is significantly greater among diabetics than among non-diabetics. This conclusion is substantiated by a comparison between the discrepancy in incidence of other diseases and cancer as compared with diabetes. The data do not suggest any explanation for the positive association between diabetes and cancer.Keywords
