- Abstract
Colorectal cancer and type 2 diabetes share many risk factors, and hyperinsulinemia appears to be associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer. We used the concentration of plasma C-peptide (an indicator of insulin production) to determine whether insulin and insulin resistance are associated with the risk of developing colorectal cancer.
