Objective To summarize the research progress of correlation between pancreatic cancer and diabetes mellitus.Methods Recent studies on the association between pancreatic cancer and diabetes mellitus were extensively reviewed, and relevant research results on the association between pancreatic cancer and diabetes mellitus were reviewed.Results Pancreatic cancer had a particular association with diabetes. Patients with pancreatic cancer may develop new diabetes or worsen existing diabetes mellitus. About 50% of patients with pancreatic cancer had diabetes mellitus before diagnosis, suggesting a “dual causal relationship” between pancreatic cancer and diabetes mellitus. Long-term type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) was one of the high risk factors for the occurrence and development of pancreatic cancer. T2DM may also increase the risk of pancreatic cancer due to hyperinsulinemia, adipokine, and other factors. Pancreatic cancer was one of the cause of diabetes mellitus at the same time, but its mechanism was not yet known, also needed to get a lot of information to understand the impact of long-term diabetes mellitus on the development of pancreatic cancer, as well as the reason of pancreatic cancer related to diabetes mellitus mechanism.Conclusion The clear relationship between pancreatic cancer and diabetes mellitus has not been proved, and further research is needed to clarify the relationship between them.
