The thesis by Donata Linkevičiūtė-Ulinskienė “Diabetes and Cancer in Lithuania: Epidemiology, Interaction and Importance for Disease Control“, Academic supervisor Assoc. Prof. Dr. Giedrė Smailytė, is based on eight published research articles. Its overall aim was to examine the correlations between T2DM and cancer, as well as mortality in patients with T2DM in Lithuania. Paper I analyzes the risk of all-site and site-specific cancer in the T2DM patient population. Papers II-IV investigate the association between diabetes treatment and risk for some of the most common and deadly cancers: prostate, colorectal and gastric cancer. Paper V analyzes mortality risk in patients with T2DM and factors that affect patient mortality. Papers VI-VIII investigate prostate, colorectal and gastric cancer survival in patients with preexisting T2DM and survival associations with diabetes treatment. |
