Patient outcomes from lung cancer and diabetes mellitus: a matched case–control study
نویسندگان
چکیده
Aim This case-control study examined the impact of diabetes mellitus (DM) on survival in lung cancer patients and lung cancer on glycemic control in DM. Materials & methods Patients with a new lung cancer diagnosis and DM (n = 124) were matched to 124 lung cancer patients without DM. Laboratory results and DM and cancer therapies were obtained from electronic records. Results Five-year overall survival for lung cancer patients with and without DM was 20 versus 29% (p = .12). Glycemic control among DM patients did not change significantly with time. Conclusion DM does not cause adverse impact on lung cancer survival. Lung cancer does not affect glycemic control.
