Abstract

The present letter to the editor is related to the study titled “Diabetic gastroenteropathy: An underdiagnosed complication”. Diabetic gastroenteropathy contributes to a decline in quality of life. In addition, gastroenteropathy is generally observed in patients with concurrent gastric cancer and diabetes mellitus before surgery, and the occurrence of the symptoms might be due not only to cancer but also to the complications of diabetes mellitus.

Keywords: Gastric cancer; Gastroenteropathy; Diabetes mellitus; Letter to the Editor; Commentary

Core Tip: This letter to the editor serves to analyze the relationship among gastric cancer, diabetes mellitus (DM), and gastroenteropathy, and the occurrence of the symptoms might be due not only to cancer but also to the complications of DM. In our clinical center, some of the symptoms of gastroenteropathy were in remission after gastrectomy. The reason might be radical resection of the malignant tumor. Another reason we hypothesized was DM remission after gastrectomy.
