Association between pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) has long been evaluated. Indeed, DM2 can be both an epiphenomenon of PDAC and a risk factor. The present study aimed to investigate the correlation between overall survival (OS) and antidiabetic drugs in patients with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and DM2.Data from 232 patients were collected retrospectively from 2014 to 2021. 174 from AOU Cagliari Medical Oncology and 58 from AOU Ancona Medical Oncology. All patients received gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel first-line chemotherapy. We aimed to evaluate the correlation between DM2, anti-diabetic medications and overall survival. Survival distribution was assessed by Kaplan-Meier curves.Median age was 68±9, 127 (55%) were male. 138/232 (59%) patients were not affected by DM2, 94/232 (41%) were affected by DM2. 57 were insulin-treated and 37 were metformin-treated. DM2 treated patients showed an higher median overall survival (26 vs 12 months, p = 0,0002). Among DM2 patients insulin-treated and metformin-treated showed an mOS of 21 months and 33 months, respectively.Results showed a correlation between treated DM2 and higher mOS in patients with mPDAC. Limitations due to retrospective data collection must be considered. Further studies in this setting are needed. |
