Anna, you are right on the money!!! I am reading this article while sitting next to my Dad's hospital bed. He has been on Metformin for almost 6 years. Two weeks ago he was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer that has metastasized to the liver. These tumors and cancerous lymph nodes are pressing against his bile duct and tomorrow he will have stents put in to open the bile ducts. If Dad is like the average pancreatic cancer patient, he has about 6 months left to live. So for all of you out there...take control of your health, eat healthy and exercise. Don't take the easy way out and just take the medication. Your life is worth fighting for so get off your duffs and exercise.

If these studies continue to show positive benefit, it will be necessary to specifically focus on training endocrinologists who are trained to deal with cancers. Every cancer patient's care should be thoroughly evaluated on a regular basis and treated by an endocrinologist, and there should be an endocrinologist sitting on each patient's tumor board.
