Background: Hyperinsulinemia might be the mechanism leading to an increased cancer risk in patients with type 2 diabetes. The objective was to evaluate the association between oral insulin secretagogues, insulins, and cancer incidence.Methods: A total of 108,920 patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes were identified from the Taiwan National Health Insurance claims database during the period from 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2000. As of 31 December 2007, patients with incident cancer were included as cases, and up to four age- and sex-matched controls were selected by risk-set sampling. Logistic regression models were applied to estimate the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) between antidiabetic medication and cancer incidence.Results: A total of 8,194 incident cancer cases and 32,776 diabetic controls were included. A significantly increased risk for overall cancer incidence was found for any use of insulin (OR, 1.97; 95% CI, 1.85-2.09) and glinides (OR, 1.16; 95% CI, 1.06-1.28). Significantly increased risks were found for first-and second-generation sulfonylureas (OR, 1.08; 95% CI, 1.01-1.15), but not for third-generation drug, glimepiride (OR, 1.00; 95% CI, 0.93-1.08). Use of insulin and glinides was associated with higher risks for liver, colorectal, lung, stomach, and pancreas cancer, whereas sulfonylurea was mainly associated with an increased risk of liver cancer.Conclusions: The results showed that sulfonylureas and glinides increased the risk for overall cancer, but to a lesser extent than insulin. Therapies that are associated with cancer risks certainly require further investigation. (J Clin Endocrinol Metab 97: E1170-E1175, 2012)
