Hello, I’m sorry I’m not aware of direct links between colon cancer and diabetes, however I understand diabetes and the use of drugs like metformin can make cancer imaging more difficult (CT, PET etc.) due to the contrast and methods used. However there are generally workarounds available for this.
Obviously it’s also important that the diabetes remains well-managed to ensure the patient is fit for other treatments (surgeries, etc.) without a higher risk of complications.
Good luck, Rob
