Excerpt

To the Editor: Hemkens et al. [1] studied the risk of malignant neoplasms and mortality in patients treated with human insulin or with one of three insulin analogues. In vitro experiments [2] demonstrated a potential association of insulin analogues with an increased risk of malignancies. Epidemiological corroboration of the in vitro findings would have major implications for diabetic patients worldwide. …
