Abstract

Our findings provide population-level evidence that advances our understanding of the possible complex metabolic links between diabetes and tumor development. Further exploration of SNOMED-based tumor classifications in future studies may provide valuable knowledge on pathological differences and refine future tumor and cancer surveillance strategies in individuals with diabetes.
