The role of metabolic syndrome variant in the malignant tumors progression

Natalia V Yunusova et al. Diabetes Metab Syndr. 2018 Sep.

Abstract

Metabolic syndrome (MS) is one of the leading risk factors for the development of some common cancers (endometrial cancer, postmenopausal breast cancer, colorectal cancer). Currently, a drug-induced metabolic syndrome related with androgen deprivation therapy in patients with prostate cancer represents a serious medical problem. Not only MS, or its individual components, but MS variants with different levels of leptin, adiponectin, visfatin, resistin are associated with tumor invasion, metastasis and survival rates in patients with MS-associated malignancies.

Keywords: Cancer; Drug-induced metabolic syndrome; Metabolic syndrome.
