Abstract:
Lay abstract The aim of this study was to assess how diabetes mellitus (DM) and cancer interact to influence overall survival and glycemic control, through use of a national mortality database, the National Death Index. Institutional records of patients with prostate, lung, breast, colorectal and pancreatic cancers were linked to the National Death Index. Analyses showed that DM was associated with lower overall survival, but a diagnosis of cancer did not worsen glycemic control in patients with or without DM.
