March 3, 2026Cancer Medicine0 citationsOpen Access
Prostate cancer risk is linked to smoking, while diabetes shows no significant association with either cancer type.
Among the analyzed population, smoking may increase the risk of developing prostate cancer substantially.
This observational analysis utilizes data from a population-based retrospective cohort study over a defined period.
Implications highlight the need for further investigation into smoking as a modifiable cancer risk factor.
Abstract
Findings indicate no significant association between diabetes and incidence of breast or prostate cancer, but suggest smoking as a potential risk factor for prostate cancer.
