Drugs employed as diabetes therapy, particularly metformin, have been found to have beneficial effects in cancer as well. Metformin reduces the risk of developing cancer although the effects on mortality are not clear cut.

We cited an important study by Tannenbaum. He found, in 1945 (!) that a carcinogen-induced sarcoma in mice was repressed by reduction in total calories but if reduced by specifically lowering the carbohydrate intake, there was an enhanced response.

It is now appreciated that the Warburg effect, the apparent reliance of tumors on glucose for fuel, is a key observation that has been insufficiently explored. The effect provides motivation and clues for exploring the metabolic approach to cancer. Warburg thought that all cancers showed this phenotype which is not true but a large number do; of significance is that one that does not, prostate cancer, is the outlier in the figure above on relation to diabetes.
