Objective:
To explore the bi-directional between pancreatic cancer (PC) and diabetes mellitus (DM); focusing on the prevalence, temporal association and impact on survival outcomes.
Methods:
A retrospective audit of pancreatic cancer patients from the institutional clinical database (CaNISC) between January 2012 and April 2018.
Results:
A total of 131 patients were analysed, 58 patients carried a diagnosis of diabetes mellitus. The median overall survival for diabetes mellitus patients was 12.0 months (95 CI, 5.9 to 18.1 months) in comparison to 13.0 months (95% CI, 8.6 to 17.3 months) in non-diabetes mellitus patients (p = 0.334).
Conclusion:
There was no significant difference in the overall survival between DM and non-DM patients.
