Body mass index and cancer risk in patients with type 2 diabetes: a dose–response meta-analysis of cohort studies

Abstract Although obesity has been associated with an increased cancer risk in the general population, the association in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) remains controversial. We conducted a dose–response meta-analysis of cohort studies of body mass index (BMI) and the risk of total and site-sp...
