Core Tip	Diabetes mellitus (DM) was significantly associated with gastric cancer (GC) with a risk ratio of 1.41. This positive DM-GC association was also observed in both sexes with a greater magnitude of risk in females than male, and in East Asian patients but not in Western patients. This study could provide one answer to current inconsistent knowledge across trials concerning a positive/inverse DM-GC association. Since DM patients are less likely to be screened for cancers, clinicians caring for DM patients should remain alert to detect GC especially in females, since there are fewer female than male GC patients in the general population.
