Diabetes Drug Could Eliminate Risk of Breast Cancer

Thu, 01 Dec 2011
New research has discovered that medicine used in diabetes treatment could also help eliminate the risk of breast cancer .

Recent research has uncovered that medicine presently used to treat Type 2 diabetes can also prevent multiple natural and man-made chemicals from triggering breast cancer cell growth.

This research offers biological evidence for previous epidemiological surveys regarding the long-term use of metformin and the consequent lowering of diabetes related cancers .

Further research is needed to pinpoint the precise process where metformin works to lower breast cancer cell growth.

This research is a forerunner of its kind as it throws up for consideration the need to specify whether or not the medicine can be used as a preventative drug and for those who do not have any indication of any existing cancers.

Laura Williams, a fitness and diet expert, has recently emphasised the benefits of a Mediterranean diet to keep both cancer and diabetes at bay.
