The paper is behind a pay wall, so it's difficult to tell much about the size of the risk, and the influence of HbA1c on it. The fact that they mention "non-diabetic" subjects means that there is probably in increased risk even bellow HbA1c of 7%.
The data reveal that chronic hyperglycaemia correlates with increased cancer risk for a number of cancers, except prostate cancer. Evidence is also provided that risk is already increased in the pre-diabetic and normal ranges for several cancers.
These results merit urgent investigation into the risks and advantages of updating recommendations for stricter glycaemic control in diabetic and non-diabetic subjects, as this could help reduce the risk of cancer incidence and mortality.
