Insulin endocrine data

Researchers from the center reported data from a 13-year registry linkage analysis of the total Danish population, currently 5.5 million people, investigating the known association between diabetes, insulin use and cancer.

The researchers did say that linkage studies cannot separate the effect of shared risk factors and the biological effect of insulin, and therefore cannot prove or disprove a causal link between insulin and cancer. ...
