Abstract
Purpose: The objective of our study was to evaluate bladder cancer risk among Lithuanian type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients and the effect of antihyperglycemic therapy on bladder cancer risk.
Methods: We analyzed bladder cancer risk in a cohort of patients who were diagnosed with T2DM between 2001 and 2012 in Lithuania. Bladder cancer risk in four groups of antihyperglycemic medication users (insulin-only, metformin-only, sulfonylurea-only, and pioglitazone ± any other drug) was also assessed. Standardized incidence ratios for bladder cancer were calculated.
Results: A total of 76,818 patients (28,762 males and 48,056 females) with T2DM were included in the final cohort. In the whole cohort of diabetic patients, 277 bladder cancer cases were observed, compared to 232.75 expected cases, according to bladder cancer rates in the general population (Standardized Incidence Ratio 1.19; 95% Confidence Interval: 1.06-1.34). Higher risk of bladder cancer was found in both men and women; however, in women the risk increase was not statistically significant. We found higher risk of bladder cancer in patients of both sexes diagnosed with T2DM at the age of 50-79 years and also in all groups of different antihyperglycemic medication users.
Conclusion: T2DM was associated with increased risk of bladder cancer.
期刊介绍:
Cancer Causes & Control is an international refereed journal that both reports and stimulates new avenues of investigation into the causes, control, and subsequent prevention of cancer. By drawing together related information published currently in a diverse range of biological and medical journals, it has a multidisciplinary and multinational approach.
The scope of the journal includes: variation in cancer distribution within and between populations; factors associated with cancer risk; preventive and therapeutic interventions on a population scale; economic, demographic, and health-policy implications of cancer; and related methodological issues.
The emphasis is on speed of publication. The journal will normally publish within 30 to 60 days of acceptance of manuscripts.
Cancer Causes & Control publishes Original Articles, Reviews, Commentaries, Opinions, Short Communications and Letters to the Editor which will have direct relevance to researchers and practitioners working in epidemiology, medical statistics, cancer biology, health education, medical economics and related fields. The journal also contains significant information for government agencies concerned with cancer research, control and policy.
