In Southern India, the Prevalence of Diabetes Mellitus and Cervical Malignancy among Girls and Women

Abstract

Introduction: In women all around the world, cervical carcinoma is the second most prevalent type of cancer that they will face.

. It is estimated that there are around 365.71 million women in India who are over the age of 15 and are having an elevated risk of acquiring cervical cancer. Herpes, oral contraceptives, and immunodeficiency diseases are all examples of risk factors. Other risk factors include smoking. It has been demonstrated in the scientific literature that There is a correlation between having type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and an increased likelihood of developing various cancers, including endometrial, pancreatic, and hepatic tumours. This study was carried out with the purpose of discovering whether or not there is a relationship between the phenomenon being investigateddiabetes mellitus and cervical cancer in females.

The Components and Procedures: Individuals who have been diagnosed with cervical cancer, regardless of whether or not they had diabetes, were separated into two distinct groups according to those patients' menopausal state. The version 11.5 of SPSS was applied for the purpose of data analysis. Calculations were made for the chi-square test as well as odds ratios. When it comes to P-values, the threshold for statistical significance was established at 0.05 degrees.

Results:According to the findings, there were 29% of patients diagnosed with cervical cancer who were between the ages of sixty and seventy, and the majority of these individuals (40%) were married and had many childrenDespite the fact that the Although the association between body mass index and the likelihood of developing cervical cancer in diabetic individuals was not found to be statistically significant in either the pre-menopausal or post-menopausal groups, type 2 diabetes in cervical carcinoma is a good indication of the likely outcome of the disease.This is the case even if the relationship was not significant.

Conclusions: The risk of developing cervical cancer is higher for women who have diabetes and have achieved menopause; hence, it is imperative that these women be obliged to undergo routine screening. To be able to generalize the findings, it will be essential to carry out more study conducted over a longer period of time.
