Core Tip	The article emphasizes diabetes mellitus (DM) as a potential independent risk factor for prostate cancer (PCa), and delves into the possible biological mechanisms related to both diseases, such as insulin resistance and hormonal changes. The document also reviews existing research, providing an in-depth analysis of the application of mendelian randomization in the context of the relationship between DM and PCa. It underscores the importance of early DM screening and lifestyle interventions in potentially preventing PCa. Furthermore, it highlights the need for future research to further elucidate this complex relationship.
