Abstract:
Lay abstract The objective of this study was to identify the effect of diabetes mellitus (DM) on survival of patients with gastric or esophageal (GE) cancer and to determine whether GE cancer and its treatment affected glycemic control. We used an institutional cancer registry to identify 184 patients with GE cancer and grouped them by the presence (n = 92) or absence (n = 92) of DM. Patients were matched by age and year of cancer diagnosis. GE cancer did not affect glycemic control, and risks of death and disease progression were greater in patients with DM than patients without DM.
