Cancer Outcomes in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes and Modifiable Differences in Vulnerable Populations

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce a forthcoming Special Issue titled “Cancer Outcomes in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes and Modifiable Differences in Vulnerable Populations.” This issue aims to explore the complex interplay between Type 2 diabetes and cancer, focusing on disparities in outcomes among vulnerable groups and identifying modifiable factors that can improve prognosis and care.

We invite original research articles or meta-analyses addressing the following:

• Epidemiological links between Type 2 diabetes and cancer incidence or survival and novel methods for analysis of such data;
• Biological mechanisms underlying these associations;
• Health disparities and social determinants influencing cancer outcomes;
• Interventions targeting modifiable risk factors in high-risk populations.

Submissions should provide evidence-based insights that advance clinical practice and health equity. Accepted manuscripts will contribute to shaping strategies for better cancer care in diabetic populations worldwide.

Deadline for submission: 20 May 2026.

Guest Editor
