报告摘要：Roughly 30 million people in the United States are living with diabetes, and of these, 90-95% have type 2 diabetes. A study conducted by Vrachnis et al. found that there was an increased risk of ovarian cancer in patients with type 2 diabetes. This increased risk is thought to be due of the role glucose plays in cancer cell proliferation, as glucose can act as an energy source for the cancer cells. The goal of this research is to conduct case study on the impact of diabetes on prostate cancer and ovarian cancer with an intension to use mathematic modeling prodicting cancer growth and progression in these environments using diabetic patients.  We hope the outcome of this study will help provide insight into environments best suited for cancer survival and growth.
