People who develop type 2 diabetes face a raised risk of some of the most lethal cancers, including liver and pancreatic tumours, with the greatest rises in women, research suggests.

- Ian Sample

Analysis of health records from 95,000 people found the risk of pancreatic cancer was nearly twice as high, and the liver cancer risk almost five times as high, in women recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.

The chances of developing these cancers rose in men too, with new-onset type 2 diabetes linked to a 74% increase in pancreatic cancer and a near quadrupling in the risk of liver cancer in the five years afterwards.

A smaller effect was seen for bowel cancer, with the risk 34% higher in women and 27% higher in men with new-onset type 2 diabetes.
