About the Case Presentation
Diabetes can significantly influence the risk and progression of cervical cancer due to its impact on the immune system and healing processes. High blood sugar levels in diabetic patients can impair immune function, making it harder for the body to fight off persistent HPV infections, a major cause of cervical cancer. Additionally, diabetes-related complications such as chronic inflammation and delayed wound healing can exacerbate cancer progression. Women with diabetes may also face challenges in early detection and treatment due to overlapping health concerns. Addressing diabetes through proper management can play a crucial role in reducing the risk and improving outcomes for cervical cancer.
