In addition to overall cancer, breast and colorectal cancers (38.1% of all cancers) were also investigated separately because of the well-established population-based cancer screening programs for these two cancers at the time of cancer diagnosis in the countries included in this study (i.e., Denmark, Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden, and the UK). Detailed methods are described in Supplementary Materials.</p><p>We found that the adjusted odds ratios (ORs) of developing metastatic cancer (vs. localized) comparing individuals with pre-existing CVD, T2D or both to those without a CMD prior to cancer were 0.92 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.65-1.01), 1.04 (95% CI = 0.83-1.18) and 1.06 (95% CI = 0.60-1.36), respectively (Figure 1). Among cancer patients diagnosed with cancers other than breast or colorectum (i.e., “other cancers”), the OR for the association between pre-existing T2D and metastatic cancer diagnosis was 1.12 (95% CI = 0.85-1.49), whereas no association was observed for pre-existing CVD (OR = 0.98; 95% CI = 0.67-1.15). Not adjusting for cancer site led to a substantial difference in estimates for other cancers, whereby individuals with pre-existing T2D as compared to individuals without a CMD had a higher risk of a late-stage diagnosis (OR = 1.26; 95% CI = 1.04-1.55) (Supplementary Figure S2). Among patients with breast and colorectal cancers, pre-existing CVD, as compared to no CMD, was almost inversely associated with a metastatic cancer diagnosis (OR of metastatic cancer = 0.71; 95% CI = 0.48-1.07).

Furthermore, the observation that this association became stronger when not adjusting for cancer type suggests that adults with T2D have a higher risk of cancers that are more frequently diagnosed at metastatic stages.

Lastly, biological mechanisms affecting cancer progression, such as hyperinsulinemia, inflammation pathways or shared risk factors, may explain the relation between CMDs and late-stage cancer diagnosis [<span>1, 8</span>].

摘要

首先,T2D与晚期诊断之间的正相关仅限于人群筛查计划未涵盖的癌症。此外,在不对癌症类型进行调整的情况下,这种关联变得更强,这一观察结果表明,患有 T2D 的成年人患上更常在转移阶段确诊的癌症的风险更高。与此相反,心血管疾病与晚期诊断之间的提示性反向关联仅限于进行全民筛查的癌症(即我们研究中的乳腺癌和结直肠癌)。其次,有证据表明,年龄组和吸烟状况会改变这些关联的效应。慢性疾病可能会干扰癌症及时诊断的机制包括竞争性需求,即具有高护理复杂性的慢性疾病可能会因症状被掩盖或未被发现而延误癌症诊断。也有观点认为,频繁就医的患者可能不愿意接受医疗专业人员的额外诊断检测。最后,影响癌症进展的生物机制,如高胰岛素血症、炎症途径或共同风险因素,可能解释了 CMD 与晚期癌症诊断之间的关系[1, 8]。与此相反,促进癌症及时诊断的机制包括:更频繁地接触医疗服务,从而提供监测机会以讨论可能的癌症症状;其次,一些慢性疾病的治疗方法可降低进展为转移性疾病的风险(如阿司匹林与结直肠癌)[1,9]。然而,新诊断出的 T2D 或高胰岛素血症患者已被推荐进行胰腺癌和肝癌筛查,因为原有疾病的存在可能会掩盖其他疾病,从而导致癌症晚期发病[10]。我们的研究结果支持这些筛查建议。对于其他部位的癌症,如呼吸系统癌症或血液系统癌症,研究并未显示原有 CMD 对诊断时癌症分期的影响[7]。此外,我们还获得了有关各种饮食和生活方式变量的数据,因此能够对混杂因素进行全面调整。我们研究的局限性包括缺乏心血管疾病/T2D管理数据、缺乏对混杂因素(如生活方式因素)的重复评估,以及样本量有限,无法对不太常见的癌症进行分析(补充表S3)。除了意大利和西班牙的一些研究中心(献血者)、乌得勒支和佛罗伦萨的一些研究中心(受邀参加当地人群乳腺癌筛查项目的妇女)以及牛津的一些研究中心(半数受试者不吃肉)外,大多数研究中心的受试者都来自普通成年人。在这项前瞻性多国队列研究中,患有心血管疾病、糖尿病或同时患有这两种疾病的癌症患者被确诊为晚期癌症的可能性总体上并不大。在这项前瞻性多国队列研究中,患有心血管疾病的癌症患者或同时患有心血管疾病的癌症患者被确诊为晚期癌症的几率总体上并不高。还需要进一步的研究来证实,在未纳入人群筛查的癌症患者中,T2D与无心血管疾病和晚期癌症之间存在提示性的正相关:海因茨-弗雷斯林(Heinz Freisling)。分析数据:Anna Jansana.支持数据分析:Carine Biessy、Vivian Viallon。撰写手稿Anna Jansana、Heinz Freisling。对手稿的最终内容负主要责任:Heinz Freisling。严格审阅手稿的重要思想内容并批准最终版本:Anna Jansana、Aviane Auguste、Marina Kvaskoff、Carine Biessy、Agnès Fournier、Emma Fontvieille、Laia Peruchet-Noray、Reynalda Cordova、Kristina Elin Nielsen Petersen、Anne Tjønneland、Verena Katzke、Rudolf Kaaks、Fulvio Riccieri、Salvatore Panico、Paolo Contiero、Maria-Jose Sánchez、Jesus Castilla、Marta Crous-Bou、Alicia Heath、Elom Kouassivi Aglago、Elisabete Weiderpass、Marc James Gunter、Pietro Ferrari、Elio Riboli、Vivian Viallon、Heinz Freisling。本研究由法国国家癌症研究所(INCA_N°2018-123)资助,并得到法兰西岛癌症协会(N°2018-1-PL SHS-06-CIRC-1)的支持。EPIC的协调工作得到了国际癌症研究机构(IARC)和伦敦帝国学院公共卫生学院流行病学与生物统计学系的资助,该系还得到了NIHR帝国生物医学研究中心(BRC)提供的基础设施支持。

Impact of pre-existing cardiometabolic diseases on metastatic cancer stage at diagnosis: a prospective multinational cohort study

Owing to shared risk factors between cardiometabolic diseases (CMDs) and cancer, coupled with population aging, the lifetime risk of an individual developing cancer after a CMD is increasing. Furthermore, biological mechanisms such as insulin resistance or inflammation may not only predispose individuals with CMD to an elevated risk of certain types of cancer but also to a diagnosis of cancer at an advanced stage [1, 2].

Cancer stage at diagnosis strongly correlates with cancer survival rates and impacts treatment decisions. Early cancer detection is key to improving cancer outcomes, especially for cancers with poor prognosis. Factors associated with a higher risk of an advanced-stage diagnosis may differ from those associated with cancer incidence. Previous studies support an association between advanced-stage cancer at diagnosis and certain patient characteristics, such as higher body mass index (BMI), older age, smoking, comorbidities, and cancer type. Studies examining the influence of comorbidities on cancer stage at diagnosis have suggested that a CMD requiring regular medical follow-up is associated with earlier cancer detection [3, 4]. However, studies have also suggested that overall participation rates in cancer screening programs may be lower among individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) or cardiovascular diseases (CVD), which may lead to later cancer detection and a more advanced stage at diagnosis [5].

A better understanding of how CMDs prior to cancer are associated with stage at cancer diagnosis may inform cancer screening recommendations. This study aimed to investigate whether having a pre-existing CMD is associated with late-stage cancer diagnosis and to identify potential modifiers of this association in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition study (EPIC).

This multinational prospective cohort study included 11,945 individuals diagnosed with first primary cancer between 1992 and 2012. Of all the diagnosed cancers, 64.9% were localized, 35.1% were metastatic, 53.6% were diagnosed in women, and 4.8%, a, 7.1%, and 1.3% had a history of CVD, of T2D, and of both CVD and T2D, respectively (Supplementary Figure S1, Supplementary Table S1). In addition to overall cancer, breast and colorectal cancers (38.1% of all cancers) were also investigated separately because of the well-established population-based cancer screening programs for these two cancers at the time of cancer diagnosis in the countries included in this study (i.e., Denmark, Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden, and the UK). Detailed methods are described in Supplementary Materials.

We found that the adjusted odds ratios (ORs) of developing metastatic cancer (vs. localized) comparing individuals with pre-existing CVD, T2D or both to those without a CMD prior to cancer were 0.92 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.65-1.01), 1.04 (95% CI = 0.83-1.18) and 1.06 (95% CI = 0.60-1.36), respectively (Figure 1). Among cancer patients diagnosed with cancers other than breast or colorectum (i.e., “other cancers”), the OR for the association between pre-existing T2D and metastatic cancer diagnosis was 1.12 (95% CI = 0.85-1.49), whereas no association was observed for pre-existing CVD (OR = 0.98; 95% CI = 0.67-1.15). Not adjusting for cancer site led to a substantial difference in estimates for other cancers, whereby individuals with pre-existing T2D as compared to individuals without a CMD had a higher risk of a late-stage diagnosis (OR = 1.26; 95% CI = 1.04-1.55) (Supplementary Figure S2). Among patients with breast and colorectal cancers, pre-existing CVD, as compared to no CMD, was almost inversely associated with a metastatic cancer diagnosis (OR of metastatic cancer = 0.71; 95% CI = 0.48-1.07). Point estimates were similar for both breast and colorectal cancer-specific analysis (Figure 1).

A few differences in associations across pre-defined subgroups of the study population were observed. There was suggestive evidence that associations between CMD status and metastatic cancer diagnosis were more pronounced among the younger age group (30-65 years) compared to the older age group (≥ 66 years), both for breast and colorectal cancers (P = 0.008) and other cancers (p-interaction = 0.017). There was evidence for effect modification by smoking status for other cancers (P = 0.032). The positive association between T2D status and diagnosis of metastatic other cancers was stronger in never smokers (OR: 1.60; 95% CI 1.04-2.46) than in former/current smokers (OR: 1.21; 95% CI 0.96-1.54) (Supplementary Table S2). This could be explained by fewer surveillance opportunities for non-smokers compared to individuals who smoked [6].

Our study supports prior findings as reviewed by Boakye et al. [7], who reported that T2D was associated with a higher risk of late-stage diagnosis of all cancers combined, whereas myocardial infarction was inversely associated with a late-stage diagnosis. We also found important differences. First, the positive association between T2D and a late-stage diagnosis was restricted to cancers not covered by population-based screening programs. Furthermore, the observation that this association became stronger when not adjusting for cancer type suggests that adults with T2D have a higher risk of cancers that are more frequently diagnosed at metastatic stages. In contrast, the suggestive inverse association between CVD and a late-stage diagnosis was restricted to cancers with population-wide screening (i.e., breast and colorectal cancers in our study). Second, there was evidence for effect modification of these associations by age group and smoking status.

Mechanisms by which chronic diseases might interfere with a timely cancer diagnosis include competing demands, whereby a chronic disease with high care complexity may delay cancer diagnosis due to masking of or undetected symptoms. It has also been suggested that patients with a high frequency of visits to health services may be reluctant to undergo additional diagnostic tests by health professionals. Lastly, biological mechanisms affecting cancer progression, such as hyperinsulinemia, inflammation pathways or shared risk factors, may explain the relation between CMDs and late-stage cancer diagnosis [1, 8]. In contrast, mechanisms facilitating a timely cancer diagnosis include more frequent contact with healthcare services, thereby providing surveillance opportunities to discuss possible cancer symptoms and second, some treatments for chronic diseases may reduce the risk of progression to metastatic disease (e.g., aspirin and colorectal cancer) [1, 9].

Studies investigating specific comorbidities and stage at diagnosis are scarce for cancers other than breast and colorectal cancers [7]. Nevertheless, patients with newly diagnosed T2D or hyperinsulinemia have been recommended for pancreatic and liver cancer screening since the presence of pre-existing disease may mask other diseases and thus lead to late cancer presentation [10]. Such recommendations for screening are supported by our findings. For other cancer sites, such as respiratory or hematologic cancers, studies have not shown an impact of pre-existing CMD on cancer stage at diagnosis [7].

Strengths of our study include the use of validated CMD diagnoses, including data on the duration of the comorbidity. Furthermore, the availability of data on a wide range of dietary and lifestyle variables enabled comprehensive adjustment for confounders. Limitations of our study include the lack of data on CVD/T2D management, lack of repeated assessment of confounders (e.g., lifestyle factors), and the limited sample size, which did not allow analyses for less frequent cancers (Supplementary Table S3). Study participants were invited from the general adult population in most study centers apart from some centers in Italy and Spain (blood donors), Utrecht and Florence (women invited for a local population-based breast cancer screening program), and Oxford (half of the recruited participants did not eat meat). Generalizing observed results beyond our study population should therefore be done with caution.

In this prospective multinational cohort study, cancer patients with pre-existing CVD, T2D or both were overall not more likely to be diagnosed with late-stage cancer. Further studies are needed to confirm the suggestive positive association between T2D vs. no CMD and late-stage cancer among patients with cancers not included in population-based screening.
