The interdisciplinary work revealing varied roles in biological processes of chronic diseases
has led to a new field of research concerning common molecular and clinical features of chronic
diseases. Epidemiological literature suggests an association between the history of metabolic
syndrome/diabetes mellitus type 2 and the risk of developing a variety of cancers. This book,
at the forefront of experimental and clinical research, is the first to highlight the common
molecular links between these two diseases. These tight links indicate a complex interdependency
between both diseases on a cellular and hormonal basis, which is influenced by a variety of
aspects (e.g. nutritional, social and neuro-immunological factors).Special attention has been
given to the fundamental role of the switch from oxidative phosphorylation to glycolysis of
cancer cells - the Warburg effect. Offering insights into the interdisciplinary approaches of
tomorrow, this publication will encourage endocrinologists, oncologists, diabetologists, general
practitioners, diabetic nurses and students of life sciences working separately on various
aspects of diabetes and cancer to come together and combine therapies and strategies.
