Association between Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase Levels and Pancreatobiliary Cancer Risk in Patients with Diabetes: Evidence from the National Health Insurance Cooperation Health Checkup 2009 to 2012
Elevated serum GGT levels were independently associated with an increased risk of pancreatobiliary cancer, regardless of the duration of DM or the use of oral hypoglycemic agents and insulin. While these findings suggest the potential utility of serum GGT as a biomarker for identifying individuals at higher risk of pancreatobiliary cancer within the diabetic population, further research is needed to validate its clinical applicability.
