Objective Thyroid cancer (TC) prevalence has been rapidly increasing. While the relationship between thyroid hormones and lipids has been widely investigated, studies regarding dyslipidemia in patients with TC have been scarce and controversial. We aimed to investigate dyslipidemia risk after TC diagnosis compared to the general population without TC. Method A population-based prospective study was conducted using data from the Korean National Health Insurance Service-National Sample Cohort Database 2.0 (NHIS-NSC DB 2.0), with health insurance claim data of 1,108,369 subjects between 2002 and 2015. The final study sample comprised 466,735 adult subjects without TC or dyslipidemia diagnoses before the index year, 2009. Bidirectional analyses were performed using prospective and retrospective concepts. In the prospective analysis, Kaplan-Meier estimates were calculated and log-rank tests and univariable and multivariable Cox regression analyses were performed to determine the relationship between TC and dyslipidemia. The retrospective analysis involved 1:5 nested case-control matching based on dyslipidemia status and conditional logistic regression analysis. Results No significant difference in dyslipidemia incidence was observed between TC patients and the control group, in either the prospective matched (log-rank P = 0.483) or non-matched (log-rank P = 0.424) analyses, or the retrospective analysis (P = 0.3724). In the prospective analysis, 193 patients after TC diagnosis showed similar risk of developing dyslipidemia with the 466,542 controls during the median 7 years of follow-up (unadjusted hazard ratio [HR], 1.102; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.878-1.383; adjusted HR, 0.932; 95% CI, 0.707-1.230). Multiple propensity score-adjusted models showed similar results, and 114 patients and 570 matched controls showed an HR of 0.818 (95% CI, 0.598-1.120). In the retrospective comparison of dyslipidemia risk in 170 patients and 277,864 controls, the odds ratio was 0.822 (95% CI, 0.534-1.266). Conclusions Dyslipidemia risk was not significantly different between patients with TC and the general population, in both prospective and retrospective analyses.

Dyslipidemia Risk in Thyroid Cancer Patients: A Nationwide Population-Based Cohort Study

Simple Summary We performed a cohort study based on the Swedish Apolipoprotein-Related Mortality Risk (AMORIS) Cohort, including 561,388 individuals and with a follow-up of >30 years, to assess the associations of nine blood biomarkers of carbohydrate, lipid, and apolipoprotein metabolism with the subsequent risk of thyroid cancer. In brief, we found that increased blood levels of total cholesterol and HDL-C were associated with a lower risk of thyroid cancer and, as a group, patients with thyroid cancer had constantly lower levels of total cholesterol and HDL-C during the decades before diagnosis, compared to controls. We also found that, during the 10 years before diagnosis, patients with thyroid cancer demonstrated declining levels of lipid and apolipoprotein biomarkers, whereas controls demonstrated stable or increasing levels likely because of aging. Abstract Background: Previous studies have examined the link between blood metabolic biomarkers and risk of thyroid cancer, with inconclusive results. We performed a cohort study based on the Swedish Apolipoprotein-Related Mortality Risk (AMORIS) Cohort, including 561,388 individuals undergoing health examinations during 1985–1996 with a follow-up of >30 years. Methods: Newly diagnosed cases of thyroid cancer were identified from the Swedish Cancer Register. We assessed the associations of nine blood biomarkers of carbohydrate, lipid, and apolipoprotein metabolism measured at the time of health examinations with the subsequent risk of thyroid cancer and demonstrated the temporal trend of these biomarkers during the 30 years before diagnosis of thyroid cancer. Results: After multivariable adjustment, there was a lower risk of thyroid cancer, per standard deviation increase in total cholesterol (TC; HR 0.91; 95%CI 0.82–0.99) and HDL-C (HR 0.86; 95%CI 0.75–0.99). During the 20 to 30 years before diagnosis, patients with thyroid cancer, as a group, demonstrated constantly lower levels of TC and HDL-C, compared to controls. Further, patients with thyroid cancer demonstrated declining levels of these biomarkers during the ten years before diagnosis, whereas controls demonstrated stable or increasing levels. Conclusions: Taken together, we found blood levels of TC and HDL-C to be associated with the risk of thyroid cancer and that there was a declining level of metabolic biomarkers during the 10 years before diagnosis of thyroid cancer.

Carbohydrate, Lipid, and Apolipoprotein Biomarkers in Blood and Risk of Thyroid Cancer: Findings from the AMORIS Cohort

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder affecting people worldwide. It is characterized by several key features, including hyperinsulinemia, hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, and dysbiosis. Epidemiologic studies have shown that T2DM is closely associated with the development and progression of cancer. T2DM-related hyperinsulinemia, hyperglycemia, and hyperlipidemia contribute to cancer progression through complex signaling pathways. These factors increase drug resistance, apoptosis resistance, and the migration, invasion, and proliferation of cancer cells. Here, we will focus on the role of hyperinsulinemia, hyperglycemia, and hyperlipidemia associated with T2DM in cancer development. Additionally, we will elucidate the potential molecular mechanisms underlying their effects on cancer progression. We aim to identify potential therapeutic targets for T2DM-related malignancies and explore relevant directions for future investigation. 

Effects of T2DM on cancer progression: pivotal precipitating factors and underlying mechanisms

Having established the significance of cardiovascular side-effects of anti-neoplastic drugs, present day cardio-oncology has forayed into newer territories buoyed by research into the multiple connections that exist between cardiovascular disease and cancer. An emerging concept of reverse cardio-oncology focuses on the heightened risk of cancer in patients with cardiovascular disease. Common mechanistics of cancer and heart failure (HF) like chronic inflammation and clonal haematopoesis as well as common predisposing factors like obesity and diabetes underline the relation between both cardiovascular disease and various cancers.This review discusses the potential magnitude of the problem, the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms and classification of this novel subject.

Background Hyperlipidemia has been hypothesized as a risk factor for thyroid cancer. However, the association between hypercholesterolemia and thyroid cancer is unclear, especially in Chinese population without available published data. We conducted this study to investigate the relationship between hypercholesterolemia and differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) in Chinese population. Methods Three thousand seven hundred forty-eight patients were enrolled in the study, including 2,021 DTC patients and 1,727 benign subjects with benign thyroid nodules. Demographic characteristics, medical history, and clinical hematological examination were collected. Stratified analyses of association between hypercholesterolemia and risk of DTC were done. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to estimate the association between hypercholesterolemia and the risk of thyroid nodules being malignant. This study protocol was approved by the ethics committee of Shandong Provincial Qianfoshan Hospital and assigned in ClinicalTrials.gov protocol registration and results system (NCT03006289, https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03006289). Results The level of serum total cholesterol in patients with DTC is higher than that in benign subjects (P 5.7 mmol/L), the closer the serum total cholesterol level is to normal (3.17-5.7 mmol/L), the less the risk of thyroid nodules being malignant is, and this difference is statistically significant (odds ratio = -0.67, 95% CI (-1.31, -0.03), P = 0.040). However, this difference is not found in the group of patients with lower level of total cholesterol (<3.17 mmol/L, odds ratio = 0.43, 95% CI (-1.22, 2.09), P = 0.068), suggesting that hypocholesterolemia is not a protective factor in the risk of thyroid nodules being malignant. Conclusions Hypercholesterolemia is an associated factor for risk of DTC in Chinese population.
