Patient outcomes from lung cancer and diabetes mellitus: a matched case–control study

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. Laborator...

Sumario: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.
