Survival and Glycemic Control in Patients With co-existing Squamous Cell Carcinoma and Diabetes Mellitus

Abstract: Aim: This study examined the impact of diabetes mellitus (DM) on survival in squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) patients, and the impact of SCC on glycemic control. Materials & methods: Patients with newly diagnosed SCC with and without DM were matched 1:1 (2007–2017). Overall survival and recurrence-free survival were estimated using the Kaplan–Meier method. Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and glucose level during the year following cancer diagnosis were compared using mixed models. Results: HbA1c decreased over time i… Show more

“…In cancer patients, diabetes is associated with a poorer health-related quality of life (HRQOL) [ 20 ], higher healthcare utilization [ 21 ], and an increased risk of cancer progression and mortality [ 22 , 23 , 24 ], which highlights the clinical importance of knowing whether cancer patients are more likely to develop diabetes.…”

“…Although diabetes itself is not associated with a higher incidence of skin cancer, 36 the co-occurrence of skin cancer and diabetes significantly disrupts treatment of both conditions. 37 Thus, any potential increase in skin cancer risk with commonly used diabetes treatments are a cause for concern, making the case for well conducted large observational studies. To our knowledge, this is the first such study examining the association between GLP-1 RAs and skin cancer.…”

“…However, it is difficult to assess the risk of skin cancer from these trials as they lacked generalizability to the diabetes population at large, had relatively small sample sizes and short median durations of follow‐up, 35 as well as has inconsistent reporting of skin cancer events. Although diabetes itself is not associated with a higher incidence of skin cancer, 36 the co‐occurrence of skin cancer and diabetes significantly disrupts treatment of both conditions 37 . Thus, any potential increase in skin cancer risk with commonly used diabetes treatments are a cause for concern, making the case for well conducted large observational studies.…”

“…The results of this study confirm those of previous studies that diabetes does not affect survival in breast, colon, lung, pancreatic and prostate cancers, but similar observations have not been true in other cancer types. For instance, diabetes was associated with decreased OS in gastroesophageal and squamous cell cancers and with shorter progression-free survival in melanoma [ 11 , 12 , 16 ]. The methods of the current study; however, could be used to reexamine these relationships on a larger and broader geographic scale.…”
