Background: Cancer and diabetes mellitus (DM) are prevalent, but there still a lack of convinced evidence clearly explaining the extent of the effect of diabetes in cancer.
Data and Methods: Clinical data of 2,929 cancer patients were collected. Diabetes were diagnosed according to the Diabetes Diagnosis and Treatment Criteria. BMI was classified by the BMI standards for Chinese adults published by the Working Group on Obesity. All involved patients were classified into the non-DM group and DM group. The Kaplan–Meier curve, log-rank test and Cox regression analyses were used to perform survival analysis.
Results: Compared with non-DM patients, OS in DM patients was significant shorter in lung cancer (HR = 2.076, P = 0.001 in early stage; HR = 2.118, P < 0.001 in advanced stage), digestive tract cancer (HR = 1.768, P = 0.020 in early stage; HR = 2.454, P = 0.005 in advanced stage), leukemia (HR = 2.636, P < 0.001), breast cancer (HR = 2.495, P = 0.047 in early stage; HR = 2.929, P = 0.019 in advanced stage) and liver cancer (HR = 3.086, P < 0.001 in early stage; HR = 2.219, P = 0.049 in advanced stage). DM negatively influenced OS when the BMI was within the normal range in overall cancer (HR = 2.468, P < 0.001), lung cancer (HR = 2.297, P < 0.001), digestive tract cancer (HR = 2.354, P < 0.001), liver cancer (HR = 2.406, P = 0.001), leukemia (HR = 4.039, P < 0.001) and breast cancer (HR = 4.222, P = 0.008). Among those with BMI ≥ 24 kg/m2, DM played a role only in lung cancer (HR = 1.597, P = 0.037).
Conclusions: Patients with diabetes tend to combine worse body composition and inflammation status, and that glycemic control can ameliorate the impairment of diabetes to some extent.
Introduction
Cancer is currently one of the major diseases that threaten the health of residents (1), and 8–18% cancer patients have diabetes as a comorbid medical condition (2). According to the epidemiological survey conducted by the Chinese Medical Association, the total number of people with diabetes in mainland China is 129.8 million (3). China has become the country with the highest incidence of diabetes in the world (4). Diabetes were significantly related with higher cancer occurrence and mortality in many cancer types (5). Overall cancer risk was found significantly elevated with a standardized increased ratio of 1.15 (95% CI 1.12–1.19) and 1.25 (95% CI 1.21–1.30) in males and females, respectively (6). A systemic review of 23 studies demonstrated a 41% increased risk for long-term, all-cause mortality for diabetic patients compared with those without diabetes (7). Diabetes and associated metabolic disorders contribute directly or indirectly to cancer progression (8). Anaerobic glycolysis, known as Warburg, is classic in cancer. But Warburg does not mean glucose is unimportant. In contrast, hyperglycemia stimulates cancer proliferation (9). Most cancers predominantly express the glucose transporter 1, which has a high affinity for glucose. The increased glycolysis in cancer cells provides the materials necessary for nucleotide, amino acid, and lipid synthesis. Besides, advanced glycation end products (AGRs) due to hyperglycemia, and its receptors (RAGRs) have been reported to lead to oxidative stress and increased inflammation, which promotes cancer growth, angiogenesis, and metastases (10). Obesity, also a prevalence worldwide, is a risk factor of both diabetes and cancer (11, 12). Excessive adipose tissue generates oxidative stress by increased production of pro-inflammatory adipokines. And BMI is regarded as a typical measurement of obese. There have been numerous studies on the relationship between diabetes and cancer. However, at present, barely convinced evidence clearly explains the extent of the effect of diabetes in different cancer types, stages and body mass indices (BMI), which remains to be further investigated (13–15). In addition, as a wasting disease, the nutritional status of patients gradually deteriorates with the development of cancers (16). Therefore, this large-scale retrospective cohort study is to investigate the impact of diabetes on the prognosis of tumor patients.
Data and Methods
Clinical Data Collection
Clinical data of cancer patients from November 2011 to December 2018 in the Department of Oncology, Cancer Center, First Hospital of Jilin University were collected. No specific selection criteria were established for cancer type or demographic characteristics, except for patients who declined to participate in the study. All patients were regularly followed up by telephone interviews or outpatient visits.
Main Inclusion Criteria
(1) Clear diagnosis of malignancy in pathological specimens. (2) Age ≥18 years. (3) No nutritional support treatment prior to nutritional assessment and laboratory testing.
Major Exclusion Criteria
(1) Those who were unwilling to keep blood specimens. (2) Combination of other types of tumors. (3) Combination of other metabolic or immunological diseases. (4) Those who had incomplete records of necessary indexes. Clinical-pathological variables including age, sex, BMI, tumor types, TNM stages (AJCC 7th edition), alcohol consumption, smoking status. Scales including Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS), the Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) and the Nutritional Risk Screening-2002 score (NRS-2002), and quality of life (QoL-C30). Laboratory examinations including total protein(TP), albumin, prealbumin (PAB), transferrin (TFN), C-reaction protein(CRP), neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelets to lymphocyte ratio (PLR). Anthropometric indices including hand-grip strength (HGS) and visceral fat area (VFA) by bioelectrical impedance analysis.
Diabetes Diagnosis Criteria
According to the Diabetes Diagnosis and Treatment Criteria established by the American Diabetes Association (ADA), (1) Fasting blood glucose ≥7.0 mmol/L (overnight blood glucose without food for at least 8–10 h); (2) Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) two-hour blood glucose ≥11.1 mmol/L; (3) Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) ≥6.5%; (4) Random blood glucose ≥11.1 mmol/L, along with symptoms related to diabetes such as polydipsia, polyphagia, polyuria and emaciation. Meeting any one of the above four conditions can be diagnosed with diabetes mellitus.
Classification of BMI
The BMI ranges were reclassified into normal (18.5 kg/m2-23.9 kg/m2), overweight (24.0 kg/m2-27.9 kg/m2) and obese (≥28 kg/m2) according to the BMI standards for Chinese adults published by the Working Group on Obesity (WGO).
Operation Rules of Anthropometric Indices
HGS was examined in all subjects using a Jamar hydraulic grip dynamometer (Sammons Preston Rolyan, Illinois, USA). Patients were comfortably seated in an upright position with the shoulders tucked in, neutral rotation, 90°elbow flexion, and the forearms and wrists in a neutral position. The patient gripped the dynamometer with maximum strength. The test is performed three times in a row, with a 1-min rest at the end of each set, and the maximum grip strength is recorded.
VFA is assessed by the Inbody S10 (Biospace Co.®), a multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance body composition analyzer. For analysis on patients in the supine position, electrode pads are attached to the ipsilateral upper and lower extremities and all procedures are performed according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
Statistical Analysis
Data were analyzed by SPSS for Windows version 26.0 (IBM SPSS Statistics, IBM Corp., Armonk, NY) and R version 4.0 (R Foundation for Statistical Computing, Vienna, Austria). All involved patients were classified into the non-DM group and DM group according to the ADA diagnosis criteria. The Kolmogorov–Smirnov test was used to confirm normal distributions of continuous data. Independent t-tests were used for normally distributed data. Counting data were examined by using the chi-square test. The Kaplan–Meier curve, log-rank test, and Cox regression analyses were used to perform survival analysis in specific cancer types, stages and BMI and in all participants. P < 0.05 was taken to indicate statistical significance.
Results
Among the 2,929 cancer patients recruited, 43.4% were men and 56.6% were women, with a mean age of 55 years. The mean follow-up period was 36.24 months and 791 patients died. According to the ADA criteria for the management of DM, 2,533 patients were included in the non-DM group and 396 patients were included in the DM group. The demographic, clinical and pathological characteristics of patients in the non-DM and DM groups were shown in Table 1. DM was significantly associated with age, PG-SGA, VFA, tumor types and stages (P < 0.05).
Relationship Between DM and Clinical Parameters
Compared with non-DM patients, NRS-2002 was higher in DM patients with lung cancer (0.89 vs 0.64, P = 0.027) and breast cancer (0.42 vs 0.21, P = 0.034). BMI (23.92kg/m2 vs 23.15kg/m2, P = 0.016), VFA (99.31 vs 90.49cm2, P = 0.009), and NLR (5.88 vs 3.23, P = 0.003) were higher in patients with lung cancer combined with diabetes than in patients without diabetes. Digestive tract cancer patients with DM had higher BMI (23.24 vs 22.15kg/m2, P = 0.007), PLR (216.81 vs 180.08, P = 0.050) and VFA (91.94 vs 79.57cm2, P = 0.003) than non-DM patients. Liver cancer patients with DM had lower HGS compared with non-DM patients (22.85 vs 27.04kg, P = 0.031). TP (64.17 vs 59.36g/L, P < 0.001) and albumin (37.81 vs 35.42 g/L, P = 0.014) were higher, while VFA was lower (78.07 vs 95.98 cm2, P = 0.004) in patients with leukemia combined without diabetes than in patients with diabetes. In addition, HGS was lower (18.29 vs 20.38kg, P = 0.004) while NLR (5.98 vs 2.22, P < 0.001) and PLR (168.90 vs 146.04, P = 0.022) were higher in patients with breast cancer combined with diabetes than in patients without diabetes (Table 2).
Relationship Between Glycemic Control and Clinical Indicators in DM Patients
Compared with non-DM patients, NRS-2002 was higher in E-DM patients with lung cancer (1.07 vs 0.64, P = 0.004) and breast cancer (0.64 vs 0.21, P = 0.001). DM patients with euglycemia (E-DM) had higher NLR than non-DM patients in lung cancer (4.31 vs 3.23, P = 0.014), gastrointestinal tumors (9.06 vs 4.34, P = 0.017), and breast cancer (3.40 vs 2.22, P = 0.014) (Table 3). Although the differences were not always statistically significant, E-DM patients had lower TFN, lower albumin and lower HGS than non-DM patients. It indicated that good glycemic control can make up the adverse effects of diabetes to some extent.
Prognostic Impact of DM in Different Cancer Types Stratified by Stages
Table 4 and Figure 1 showed the relationship between DM and OS in specific cancer types stratified by stages. Compared with non-DM patients, OS in DM patients was significant shorter in overall cancer, lung cancer, gastrointestinal tract tumors, leukemia, advanced stage breast cancer and early stage liver cancer. The HR was 2.599 (95% CI: 2.024–3.336, P < 0.001) in early stage overall cancer, 2.427 (95% CI: 1.887–3.121, P < 0.001) in advanced overall cancer, 2.076 (95% CI: 1.332–3.236, P = 0.001) in early stage lung cancer, 2.118 (95% CI: 1.437–3.121, P < 0.001) in advanced lung cancer, 1.768 (95% CI: 1.093–2.863, P = 0.020), in early stage digestive tract cancer, 2.454 (95% CI: 1.316–4.576, P = 0.005) in advanced digestive tract cancer, 3.086 (95% CI: 1.668-5.708, P < 0.001) in early stage liver cancer, 2.219 (95% CI: 1.004-4.906, P = 0.049) in advanced liver cancer, 2.636 (95% CI: 1.628–4.269, P < 0.001) in leukemia, 2.495 (95% CI: 1.011–6.155, P = 0.047) in early stage breast cancer, 2.929 (95% CI: 1.193–7.189, P = 0.019) in advanced breast cancer, and 4.320 (95% CI:2.103–8.871, P < 0.001) in patients with early stage other tumors (Figure 1).

Prognostic Impact of DM in Different Cancer Types Stratified by BMI
Patients was classified by BMI into normal (18.5 ≤ BMI < 23.9 kg/m2) and obese (BMI ≥ 24.0 kg/m2) categories according to WGO. Table 5 and Figure 2 showed the relationship between DM and OS in specific cancer types stratified by BMI. The combination of diabetes had negative impact on OS when the BMI was within the normal range in lung cancer (HR = 2.297, 95% CI: 1.635–3.229, P < 0.001), digestive tract cancer (HR = 2.354, 95% CI: 1.508–3.675, P < 0.001), liver cancer (HR = 2.406, 95% CI: 1.414–4.092, P = 0.001), leukemia (HR = 4.039, 95% CI: 2.291–7.120, P < 0.001) and breast cancer (HR = 4.222, 95% CI: 1.466–12.164, P = 0.008). In contrast, among those with BMI ≥ 24 kg/m2, DM played a role only in lung cancer (HR = 1.597, 95% CI: 1.029–2.479, P = 0.037) and other tumors (HR = 6.747, 95% CI: 2.769–16.441, P < 0.001). Furthermore, it was observed that, the HR of DM patients with BMI in normal range (HR = 2.468, 95% CI: 2.004–3.041, P < 0.001) was significantly higher than those whose BMI ≥ 24 kg/m2 (HR = 1.898, 95% CI: 1.410–2.556, P < 0.001) in overall tumors.
Discussion
In previous studies, significant differences in inflammatory status, nutritional status, and quality of life between diabetic and non-diabetic patients have been demonstrated (17, 18). But there was no large-scale data on the differences between diabetic and non-diabetic patients and whether effective glycemic control can make up the adverse effects of diabetes in cancer patients. In the present study, we found that body composition and inflammatory parameters in cancer patients with diabetes differed from those without diabetes, suggesting that diabetes exacerbated the systemic inflammatory response of the body (19). For diabetic patients with good glycemic control, there still existed relatively more active inflammatory status compared to patients without diabetes, especially NLR. But quite a few indicators, such as albumin, PAB and CRP were not statistically different, suggesting that good glycemic control can reduce the adverse effects of diabetes to some extent.
DM has a negative impact on tumor patients in different stages. For most types of tumors, the prognosis of patients with DM is poor (20). Diabetes has a greater impact on patient prognosis in early stage liver cancer patients due to the combination of systemic metabolic changes and the development of systemic inflammation in patients with liver cancer at early stages (21). However, DM behaved as a stronger risk factor in advanced patients compared with those in early stage in colon cancer, lung cancer and breast cancer, which may due to the longer survival period of advanced cancer that allows the risk of DM to unfold. Therefore, the management of blood glucose in cancer patients with relatively longer survivals becomes increasingly important (22). It is worth mentioning that the adverse effects of diabetes were observed in leukemia, which may further illustrate the role of abnormal metabolism in malignant hematologic diseases and provide a theoretical basis for subsequent studies on the mechanisms of hematologic metabolism.
The BMI stratification was also discussed, and the risk of diabetes was more pronounced in patients with normal BMI. Patients with normal BMI and diabetes tend to have a longer disease duration and are less tolerant of treatment, while patients with higher BMI even without diabetes continuously exist a similar systemic inflammatory response as diabetic patients (23), which may account for the differences in diabetes risk across populations with different BMIs.
There is a limitation for choosing blood glucose as a marker of glycemic control mainly for the shortcomings of possibly inaccurate assessment of long term blood glucose control. The reasons are listed following. First, the glycated hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c), a reliable measurement of glycemic control, was not chose in this study as a marker of glycemic control mainly due to the inconvenience. In real clinical settings, HbA1c was mainly tested when DM was newly diagnosed or a DM patient with unsatisfied blood glucose levels. Second, although the cutoff value of HbA1c for DM is clearly defined, the reasonable threshold of HbA1c for predicting the prognosis was not a consensus (24), which may bring bias if HbA1c was chose as a glycemic control marker. Third, measurements of DM which also have an impact on cancer development should be taken into analysis as confounders. Several diabetes medications are reported related with cancer prognosis, typically metformin. To be accurate, the mechanisms are still unclear and the results of metformin in cancer prognosis are not always positive (25, 26). Given the limited patients using metformin (only 1.2%) in this study, the stratified sub-analysis was not committed. This topic should be further investigated.
In summary, we found that patients with diabetes tend to combine worse body composition and inflammatory indicators, and that glycemic control can ameliorate the impairment of diabetes to some extent. The above results suggest the negative influence of hyperglycemia in systemic inflammation metabolism. Besides, the risk posed by diabetes is not the same in patients with different tumor types and stages. Thus, the management of diabetes should be emphasized, especially for patients in early stages, which may bring a more durable disease-free state. Finally, we analyzed patients with different BMI to further analyze the relationship between body composition and diseases, and we believe that more studies should be done in the future.
