[Pathological tolerance to glucose and breast neoplasia].
Thirty non diabetic women with breast cancer and five with benign breast disease have been evaluated by oral glucose tolerance test. 40% showed a diabetic-like curve. The positive women had a metastatic disease. The positive correlation between a pathologic glucose tolerance and the metastatic disease are stressed. The conclusion is drawn that the research of a latent glycidic alteration as monitor of breast cancer evolution is useful.
