The inflammatory condition associated with overweight/obesity represents a triggering factor in the pathogenesis of the metabolic syndrome and primarily contributes to the related pathological outcomes. Stimuli including overnutrition, physical inactivity, and ageing might lead to oversecretion of proinflammatory cytokine, ultimately resulting in insulin resistance, diabetes, and its cardiovascular complications. Furthermore, inflammation has also been associated with several types of cancers by influencing growth, apoptosis, and proliferation of cancer and stromal cells. Previous studies propose that the metabolic syndrome may play an imperative role in the initiation, progression, and poor prognosis of some tumors. Currently, the causal association between the metabolic syndrome and cancer is more commonly recognized; nevertheless, the precise mechanisms mediating this relationship remain poorly understood. It has become evident that the inflammatory condition associated with metabolic syndrome contributes to the development and progression of cancer. Ascertaining the link between the metabolic syndrome and cancer, the role of inflammation in these diseases and identification of new therapeutic targets are of great significance. This special issue contributes original research papers and review articles that motivate the continuous efforts to comprehend the mechanisms, production, and management related to cancers associated with the metabolic syndrome.In this special issue, the link between the metabolic syndrome and cancer was extensively discussed. Both cancer and diabetes are associated with abnormal lactate metabolism, and high lactate level is the crucial biological feature of these diseases. On the other hand, high lactate results in a higher insulin-resistant status and a more malignant phenotype of cancer cells, favoring diabetes and cancer development. Considering an interactive relationship between diabetes and cancers, the role of high lactate production in diabetes and cancer interaction should not be neglected. Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying metabolic remodeling of diabetes-and cancer-related signaling would provide novel preventive and therapeutic approaches for diabetes and cancer treatment. In addition, S. Harlid et al. interrogated the association between the metabolic syndrome and colorectal cancer risk in human subjects. Out of 178 inflammatory and cancer biomarkers, 12 proteins were associated with the metabolic syndrome and/or its components. FGF21, one of the 12 proteins, was also associated with an increased risk for colorectal cancer, exemplifying the intimate relationship between the metabolic syndrome and cancer.
