Women with GDM (N = 49 684) were matched on age and year of giving birth, in a ratio of 1:2, to pregnant women without diabetes (N = 99 365). Results: Over a median 8-year follow-up, there were a total of 2927 (1.5%) cancers. After adjustment for covariates, we found no significant difference in overall risk of cancer between women with GDM and matched control subjects; however, GDM was associated with a significantly greater risk of thyroid cancer (adjusted hazard ratio 1.24, 95% CI 1.05, 1.46) and a significantly lower risk of premenopausal breast cancer (hazard ratio 0.86, 95% CI 0.75, 0.98) compared with matched control subjects. Conclusions: This large population-based study did not find a greater risk of cancers among women with GDM during the first decade postpartum; however, GDM was associated with a higher risk of thyroid cancer and a lower risk of premenopausal breast cancer. Further studies are needed to confirm these findings.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:35:44 AEDT ]]>
