Tokyo Researchers Link Insulin Resistance To Cancer

University of Tokyo researchers published in Nature Communications on February 15 that insulin resistance is a risk factor for 12 cancer types, based on AI-IR applied to about 500,000 UK Biobank participants. AI-IR, trained on nine routine clinical parameters and validated in US and Taiwan cohorts, outperformed BMI and metabolic syndrome markers. The tool enables feasible population-level screening using standard health checkup data.
