Impact of Breast Cancer on Cardiometabolic Health in Spanish Women ≥50 Years with Pre-Existing Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Cancers (Basel) 2024; 16:2853. [PMID: 39199624 PMCID: PMC11352853 DOI: 10.3390/cancers16162853] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/01/2024] [Revised: 08/03/2024] [Accepted: 08/13/2024] [Indexed: 09/01/2024] Open
Abstract
During breast cancer (BC), cardiometabolic disorders can worsen prognosis, particularly in women with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study aimed to determine the impact of BC diagnosis on cardiometabolic parameters and the incidence of complication in women over 50 years of age (90% aged ≥ 65 years) with pre-existing T2DM. Using primary care registries from Asturias (Spain), a total of 106 women diagnosed with T2DM followed by BC were selected and matched with women with T2DM (n = 212) in a cohort study. Indicators of cardiometabolic health and microvascular complications associated with T2DM were collected. Women were monitored from two years prior to five years after BC diagnosis. Conditional logistic regressions were used to compare the adjusted odds of staying below each indicator's threshold. During follow-up, women with T2DM+BC had a higher risk of fasting blood glucose ≥126 mg/dL (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 1.83; 95% confidence interval [CI95%]: 1.01-3.32) and glycosylated hemoglobin (Hb1Ac) ≥ 48 mmol/mol or 6.5% (aOR: 2.44; IC95%: 1.21-4.91). There was no difference between the groups regarding the incidence of microvascular complications. BC incidence negatively impacted the glycemic control of Spanish women with pre-existing T2DM measured by basal blood glucose and HbA1c, but not cardiometabolic health indicators or T2DM complications.

BMC Public Health 2024; 24:2002. [PMID: 39061034 PMCID: PMC11282799 DOI: 10.1186/s12889-024-19545-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2023] [Accepted: 07/22/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hyperglycemia is a rapidly increasing risk factor for cancer mortality worldwide. However, the dose‒response relationship between glucose levels and all-cause mortality in cancer survivors is still uncertain. METHODS We enrolled 4,491 cancer survivors (weighted population 19,465,739) from the 1999-2019 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Cancer survivors were defined based on the question of whether they had ever been diagnosed with cancer by a doctor or a health professional. Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) was selected in this study as a stable marker of glucose level. Mortality was ascertained by linkage to National Death Index records until December 31, 2019. Cox proportional hazard, Kaplan‒Meier survival curves and Restricted cubic spline regression models were used to evaluate the associations between HbA1c and all-cause mortality risk in cancer survivors. RESULTS In NHANES, after adjusting for confounders, HbA1c had an independent nonlinear association with increased all-cause mortality in cancer survivors (nonlinear P value < 0.05). The threshold value for HbA1c was 5.4%, and the HRs (95% CI) below and above the threshold value were 0.917 (0.856,0.983) and 1.026 (1.010,1.043), respectively. Similar associations were found between fasting glucose and all-cause mortality in cancer survivors, and the threshold value was 5.7 mmol/L. CONCLUSIONS HbA1c was nonlinearly associated with all-cause mortality in cancer survivors, and the critical value of HbA1c in decreased mortality was 5.4%, suggesting optimal glucose management in cancer survivors may be a key to preventing premature death in cancer survivors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Increasing evidence suggests that diabetes increases the risk of developing different types of cancer. Hyperinsulinemia, hyperglycemia and chronic inflammation, characteristic of diabetes, could represent possible mechanisms involved in cancer development in diabetic patients. At the same time, cancer increases the risk of developing new-onset diabetes, mainly caused by the use of specific anticancer therapies. Of note, diabetes has been associated with a ∼10% increase in mortality for all cancers in comparison with subjects who did not have diabetes. Diabetes is associated with a worse prognosis in patients with cancer, and more recent findings suggest a key role for poor glycemic control in this regard. Nevertheless, the association between glycemic control and cancer outcomes in oncologic patients with diabetes remains unsettled and poorly debated. PURPOSE The current review seeks to summarize the available evidence on the effect of glycemic control on cancer outcomes, as well as on the possibility that timely treatment of hyperglycemia and improved glycemic control in patients with cancer and diabetes may favorably affect cancer outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies have compared diabetes management quality indicators, focusing on physiological markers such as hemoglobin A1c, between cancer survivors with diabetes and general diabetes patients. However, research comparing differences in diabetes self-management behaviors and the factors influencing them between these groups is lacking. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to compare self-management behaviors, guided by the information-motivation-behavior model, between cancer survivors with diabetes and general diabetes patients. In addition, we aimed to identify differences in factors such as diabetes knowledge, attitudes, family support, and self-efficacy that may influence diabetes self-management behaviors in both groups. METHODS A total of 125 cancer survivors with diabetes and 126 general diabetes patients participated in this cross-sectional study. A structured questionnaire assessed demographics, diabetes knowledge, attitudes, self-efficacy, and self-management behaviors. RESULTS Regarding diabetes education, 47.0% of cancer survivors and 61.6% of general diabetes patients received education. The cancer survivors had lower diabetes knowledge scores (10.30 ± 4.15, P < .001), a lower perceived value of strict blood glucose control (4.10 ± 0.56, P < .001), and less family support (15.50 ± 7.50, P = .019) than the patients without cancer (13.51 ± 3.84, 4.25 ± 0.65, and 17.57 ± 6.40, respectively). CONCLUSION This study reveals significant differences in diabetes self-management between cancer survivors and general diabetes patients. Cancer survivors showed lower diabetes knowledge, glucose control perception, and family support. These findings highlight the need for tailored self-management programs for cancer survivors. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE This study offers insights for developing tailored diabetes self-management programs and educational interventions for cancer survivors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dietary sodium intake is a crucial lifestyle factor that should be assessed in adult cancer survivors due to their increased risk of adverse health outcomes compared to the general population. However, its with impaired fasting glucose (IFG) in adult cancer survivors remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the association of dietary sodium intake categorized by the American Heart Association (AHA) recommendation with IFG in the community-dwelling adult cancer survivors. METHODS A total of 1,052 adult cancer survivors without diabetes were identified from the sixth and seventh Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES), 2013-2018. Data on dietary sodium intake was categorized as <1,500 mg/day, 1,500-2,999 mg/day, 2,300-3,999 mg/day, and ≥4,000 mg/day according to the AHA recommendation. A multiple logistic regression model adjusted for demographic, lifestyle, and health status was used to compute odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) for IFG according to dietary sodium intake categories. RESULTS After adjusting for confounding variables identified in the KNHANES, the adjusted OR among the adult cancer survivors who consumed 1,500-2,999 mg/day, 2,300-3,999 mg/day, and ≥4,000 mg/day of dietary sodium were 1.16 (95% CI: 0.25-5.27), 1.93 (95% CI: 0.40-9.37), and 2.67 (95% CI: 0.59-12.18), respectively, as compared to those who consumed <1,500 mg/day (P value for trend = 0.036). CONCLUSION Among community-dwelling adult cancer survivors, high dietary sodium intake was marginally associated with increased odds of IFG. Well-designed cohort studies or randomized clinical trials are needed to establish more epidemiologic evidence on this association in adult cancer survivors.

Abstract
Background Diabetes and the etiology of breast cancer are clearly associated. However, the impact of diabetes on prognosis is not yet understood. Therefore, we conducted a retrospective cohort study to examine the relationship between diabetes and patient outcomes in breast cancer patients. Methods We investigated 332 Japanese women with breast cancer who underwent curative surgery at our hospital. Patients without sufficient clinical information including hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and those with an observation period of less than 1 year were excluded. Results Among the patients examined, 106 had diabetes at the time of their breast cancer diagnosis. Among the 296 patients with invasive breast carcinoma, 36 patients developed distant metastases during the mean observation period of 45 months. Sixteen patients died due to breast cancer, while 13 died of other causes. Multivariate analysis revealed that diabetes, tumor size, and estrogen receptor (ER) status were independent factors related to distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS) (p = 0.038, p < 0.001, and p = 0.006, respectively). Kaplan-Meier curve analysis revealed that diabetes negatively affected the outcomes of ER-negative breast cancer patients both in DMFS and overall survival (p = 0.045 and p = 0.029, respectively). Meanwhile, patient outcomes did not differ according to the level of HbA1c in diabetes patients. Conclusion Patients with diabetes had a significantly shorter DMFS, and the negative effect of diabetes on patient outcomes was more evident in ER-negative breast cancer. Our data indicates the importance of primary prevention of diabetes for breast cancer patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is unclear whether diabetes and glycemic control affects the outcomes of breast cancer, especially among those with metastatic disease. This study aims to determine the impact of diabetes and hyperglycemia on cancer progression and mortality in individuals with metastatic breast cancer (MBC). METHODS Patients with a diagnosis of MBC between 2010 and 2021 were identified using the MBC database at 2 academic institutions. We evaluated the effects of diabetes and glycemic control on overall survival (OS) and time to next treatment (TTNT). RESULTS We compared 244 patients with diabetes (median age 57.6 years) to 244 patients without diabetes (matched for age, sex, ethnicity, and receptor subtype). OS at 5 years [diabetes: 54% (95% CI 47-62%) vs controls: 56% (95% CI 49-63%), P = 0.65] and TTNT at 1 year [diabetes: 43% (95% CI 36-50%) vs controls: 44% (95% CI 36-51%), P = 0.33] were similar between groups. A subgroup analysis comparing those with good glycemic control and those with poor glycemic control among patients with specific receptor subtype profiles showed no differences in OS at 5 years or TTNT at 1 year. In an 8-year landmark subgroup analysis, there was worse OS among individuals with diabetes compared to controls, and OS was found to be better among those with good glycemic control compared to those with poor control. CONCLUSIONS Diabetes was not associated with increased mortality in individuals with MBC at 5 years. However, diabetes and hyperglycemia were associated with worse OS among a cohort of longer-term survivors. These findings suggest that individualized diabetes and glycemic goals should be considered in patients with MBC.

Abstract
Diabetes and cancer are both common and increasingly prevalent conditions, but emerging epidemiological evidence confirms that the risk of developing a number of common cancers is increased in those with type 2 diabetes. The risk of cancer in type 1 diabetes is less clearly defined, and therefore this review will focus on type 2 diabetes. Emerging evidence also supports an influence of diabetes on outcomes of cancer treatment. However, this relationship is bi-directional, with cancer and its treatment impacting on glucose control, whilst there is also emerging evidence that diabetes care can deteriorate after a cancer diagnosis (summarised in Figure 1). Despite these clear links there is a lack of evidence to guide clinicians in how to manage patients with diabetes during their cancer treatment. Although recent UK guidelines have started to address this, with the development of guidance for the management of hyperglycaemia in cancer, there is a clear need for wider guidance on the management of multi-morbidity during cancer, including diabetes and obesity, to incorporate nutritional management We have therefore undertaken a narrative review of the evidence of links between type 2 diabetes and cancer incidence and outcomes, and discuss the challenges to diabetes care during cancer treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus (DM) can worsen the prognosis or survival in prostate cancer (PC) patients. We investigated whether glycemic control impacts mortality in PC patients with existing diabetes. METHODS All PC patients with or without preexisting DM were enrolled from 2006 to 2017. Mean hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) values (<7%, 7%-9%, ≥9%) were used to represent glycemic control. Major outcomes included all-cause, PC-specific, and non-PC mortalities. Statistical analyses were performed using Cox regression models with adjusted mean HbA1c and other related confounders. RESULTS A total of 831 PC patients were enrolled (non-DM group, n = 690; DM group with a record of mean HbA1c values, n = 141). Results showed that the DM group with mean HbA1c level ≥ 9% (n = 14) had significantly increased risk for all-cause and non-PC mortality (hazard ratio [HR], 3.09; 95% CIs, 1.15-8.32; p=0.025 and HR, 5.49; 95% CIs, 1.66-18.16; p = 0.005, respectively), but not for PC-specific mortality (HR, 1.03; 95% CIs, 0.13-8.44; p = 0.975), compared with the non-DM group. CONCLUSION Our findings indicate that PC patients with DM who had a mean HbA1c level ≥ 9% had higher risks of all-cause and non-PC mortality compared with non-DM subjects. Further large and long-term studies are needed to verify the effect of glycemic control in PC patients with DM.

Factors leading to alpelisib discontinuation in patients with hormone receptor positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 negative breast cancer. Breast Cancer Res Treat 2022; 192:303-311. [PMID: 35000092 DOI: 10.1007/s10549-021-06476-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/09/2021] [Accepted: 12/02/2021] [Indexed: 11/02/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Alpelisib is a phosphoinositide-3-kinase inhibitor approved for hormone-receptor-positive, PIK3CA-mutated metastatic breast cancer. However, length of drug exposure, maximum-tolerated dose, and therefore clinical response can vary significantly outside of the trial setting. This study evaluates our center's "real world" experience with alpelisib and focuses on duration of therapy and factors associated with cancer progression. METHODS Patients receiving alpelisib at our center between 2019 and 2021 were identified. We evaluated duration of alpelisib therapy and the causative reasons for drug discontinuation. The association of drug duration and dose with subsequent cancer progression were assessed, along with the association between hyperglycemia during alpelisib therapy and cancer progression. RESULTS Sixty-two women prescribed alpelisib were included (mean age 61 years). Disease progression was the most common reason for drug discontinuation, while discontinuation within 30 days was primarily attributed to adverse events (AEs). Among those who progressed, median time to progression was longer in those on alpelisib for > 90 days compared with those on alpelisib for ≤ 90 days (187 vs. 77 days, p < 0.001). At 200 days, freedom from progression was greater for those on alpelisib for > 90 days compared to those receiving therapy for ≤ 90 days (59% vs. 19%, p = 0.001). Median blood glucose as a continuous variable was associated with disease progression (HR 1.01, 95% CI 1.00-1.02, p = 0.02). CONCLUSION While progression of disease is the largest contributor to alpelisib discontinuation, AEs are the leading cause for early drug cessation. Shorter alpelisib exposure is associated with greater cancer progression. Further studies are needed to determine the impact of sustained hyperglycemia on cancer progression.

Abstract
PURPOSE To explore the effects of primary and secondary hyperglycemia and the application of the hypoglycemic drug metformin on the prognosis of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis of 1767 DLBCL patients.Cox regression method was used for analysis to evaluate the prognostic factors, and the Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw a survival curve to analyze the effect of hyperglycemia and the hypoglycemic drug metformin on the progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) of DLBCL patients. RESULTS Our study showed that patients with hyperglycemia tend to have higher age (age>60 years), high body mass index (BMI)(≥24kg/m2), late Ann Arbor stage (III-IV), high international prognostic index (IPI) (3-5 score), high lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) level (>250U/L), bulky disease and comorbidity. Hyperglycemia affects the survival time of the DLBCL population (PFS: adjusted HR 1.41, 95% CI: 1.16-1.70, P <0.001, OS: adjusted HR 1.33, 95% CI:1.09-1.61, P=0.004).Compared with the non-hyperglycemia group, the secondary hyperglycemia increase affects the prognosis of the DLBCL population (P<0.001). Compared with the secondary hyperglycemia group, the primary hyperglycemia group has a poor prognosis (P<0.05). For patients with DLBCL and hyperglycemia (732 patients in total), the use of metformin can improve their PFS and OS (PFS: adjusted HR 0.69, 95% CI: 0.49-0.96, P=0.028, OS: adjusted HR 0.68, 95% CI: 0.49-0.95, P=0.024). CONCLUSION Hyperglycemia and secondary hyperglycemia are related to the poor prognosis of DLBCL population.For patients with DLBCL combined with hyperglycemia, the application of metformin can improve survival rate.

Abstract
Background Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a frequent comorbidity in patients with cancer. This study aimed to evaluate the prognosis of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with DM and to assess whether an optimal glycemic control improves overall survival (OS). Methods A total of 1279 advanced NSCLC patients including 300 (23.5%) with preexisting DM were retrospectively reviewed. The continuous relationship between glycated hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) level and OS was analyzed by restricted cubic spline (RCS) function. Optimal HbA1c cut-off point was determined using X-tile analysis. Survival was analyzed with the Kaplan–Meier method and compared among groups stratified by diabetes status and HbA1c. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was employed to identify prognostic factors for OS after adjusting for baseline characteristics. Results DM and non-DM patients had similar OS (median (95% CI): 22.85 (20.05-26.73) vs. 22.22 (20.35-24.76) months, P=0.950). The multivariate Cox regression analyses showed that DM status was not a prognostic factor for OS (HR: 0.952, 95% CI: 0.808-1.122, P=0.559). However, there existed a non-linear but generally positive relationship between the elevated HbA1c level and increased risk of overall mortality. HbA1c > 6.6% was a negative prognostic factor for OS (HR: 1.593, 95% CI: 1.113-2.280, P=0.011). The median OS (95% CI) for nondiabetic patients, DM patients with HbA1c ≤6.6% and those with HbA1c > 6.6% was 22.22 (20.01-24.43), 25.28 (21.79-28.77) and 15.45 (7.57-23.33) months, respectively. Well-controlled DM patients had a comparable crude OS (HR (95% CI): 0.90 (0.76-1.08), P=0.273] compared to nondiabetic patients while patients with HbA1c>6.6% had a worse crude OS than patients without DM (HR (95% CI): 1.70 (1.24-2.34), P=0.001]. The survival benefit of good HbA1c control was prominent in all subgroups. Conclusion Impaired glycemic level negatively affects survival for patients with advanced NSCLC while proper glycemic control with HbA1c ≤6.6% improves the OS.

Abstract
Phosphoinositide-3-kinase/Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin (PI3K/Akt/mTOR) pathway inhibitors are a novel class of antineoplastic agent available for the treatment of various cancers. With improved cancer outcomes and survival, individuals are exposed to these antineoplastic therapies for longer periods of time and therefore, the consideration of adverse effects is of increasing importance. The PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway plays a critical role in regulating cellular processes such as growth and proliferation, but also regulates the metabolic effects of insulin such as glucose uptake and glycogen synthesis. Therefore, hyperglycemia and insulin resistance are frequently reported adverse effects. There are no recent consensus guidelines on the management of hyperglycemia secondary to PI3K/Akt/mTOR inhibitors, with the latest guidelines produced in 2012 - when many of these agents were still undergoing development. As we now have a greater understanding of the underlying mechanisms and patterns in which hyperglycemia is induced and access to an increasing array of glucose-lowering agents, an update of the previous guidelines accommodating these understandings and developments is timely. This review will provide a comprehensive summary of the current literature with regards to the incidence of hyperglycemia associated with each agent, as well as the different pathways and mechanisms in which hyperglycemia is induced. Our proposed up-to-date strategy for the specific management of PI3K/Akt/mTOR inhibitor-induced hyperglycemia will also aim to facilitate management of this complex oncological population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND No data are available on the association between dietary insulin index (DII) and dietary insulin load (DIL) and the risk of breast cancer (BC). PATIENTS AND METHODS This hospital-based case-control study enrolled 150 newly diagnosed cases of BC and 150 age-matched controls. All cases were patients with pathologically confirmed BC, with no history of any type of other pathologically confirmed cancers. Controls were selected from visitors, relatives, and friends of non-cancer patients in other wards who had no family relationships with the cases. We assessed the dietary intakes of study participants using a validated 147-item semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire. DII and DIL were obtained from previously published data. RESULTS A significant positive association was found between DII and BC (odds ratio [OR], 1.82; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.02-3.25), such that after considering energy intake and age, participants in the highest tertile of DII had 1.86 times greater risk of BC than those in the lowest tertile (OR, 1.86; 95% CI, 1.03-3.35). However, this association became non-significant after controlling for further potential risk factors (OR, 3.26; 95% CI, 0.9-11.7). Furthermore, we observed a significant positive association between DIL and BC (OR, 1.9; 95% CI, 1.06-3.40). The association remained significant even after controlling for age and energy intake. Further controlling for other potential confounders resulted in the disappearance of the association (OR, 3.06; 95% CI, 0.87-10.6). CONCLUSION Adherence to a diet with high DII and DIL was not associated with odds of BC after controlling for potential confounders.

Abstract
Diabetes and breast cancer are pathophysiologically similar and clinically established
diseases that co-exist with a wider complex similar molecular signalling and having a similar set of
risk factors. Insulin plays a pivotal role in the invasion and migration of breast cancer cells. Several
ethnopharmacological evidences shed light on the concomitant anti-diabetic and anti-cancer activity
of medicinal plant and phytochemicals against breast tumors of patients with diabetes. This present
article reviewed the findings on medicinal plants and phytochemicals with concomitant antidiabetic
and anti-cancer effects reported in scientific literature to facilitate the development of dual-
acting therapies against diabetes and breast cancer. The schematic tabular form of published literature
on medicinal plants (63 plants belongs to 45 families) concluded the dynamics of phytochemicals
against diabetes and breast tumors that could be explored further for the discovery of therapies
for controlling of breast cancer cell invasion and migration in patients with diabetes.

Abstract
PURPOSE Diabetes and hypertension are two common comorbidities that affect breast cancer patients, particularly Black women. Disruption of chronic disease management during cancer treatment has been speculated. Therefore, this study examined the implementation of clinical practice guidelines and health outcomes for these comorbidities before and during cancer treatment. METHODS We used a population-based, prospective cohort of Black women diagnosed with breast cancer (2012-2016) in New Jersey (n = 563). Chronic disease management for diabetes and hypertension was examined 12 months before and after breast cancer diagnosis and compared using McNemar's test for matched paired and paired t tests. RESULTS Among this cohort, 18.1% had a co-diagnosis of diabetes and 47.2% had a co-diagnosis of hypertension. Implementation of clinical practice guidelines and health outcomes that differed in the 12 months before and after cancer diagnosis included lipid screening (64.5% before versus 50.0% after diagnosis; p = 0.004), glucose screening (72.7% versus 90.7%; p < 0.001), and blood pressure control < 140/90 mmHg (57.6% versus 71.5%; p = 0.004) among patients with hypertension-only. For patients with diabetes, eye and foot care were low (< 35%) and optimal HbA1c < 8.0% was achieved for less than 50% of patients in both time periods. CONCLUSION Chronic disease management continued during cancer treatment; however, eye and foot exams for patients with diabetes and lipid screening for patients with hypertension-only were inadequate. Given that comorbidities may account for half of the Black-White breast cancer survival disparity, strategies are needed to improve chronic disease management during cancer, especially for Black women who bear a disproportionate burden of chronic diseases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate the association between preoperative glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels and the treatment outcomes of oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). METHODS Three hundred and fifty-eight OSCC patients were consecutively enrolled between July 2004 and July 2016. Clinicopathological parameters and survival outcomes were analyzed following HbA1c stratification of 6.5% (HbA1c ≥ 6.5%: n = 74, 20.6%) and 7.0% (HbA1c ≥ 7.0%: n = 53, 14.8%). RESULTS Higher HbA1c levels were associated with elevated body mass index, lower albumin levels, wider surgical margins, and prolonged hospital stays (HbA1c 6.5%: p = .001, .048, .030, .009, respectively; HbA1c 7.0%: p = .092, .032, .009, .015, respectively). Survival rates stratified by HbA1c 6.5% were as follows: locoregional recurrence-free survival, p = .014; distant metastasis-free survival, p = .013; second primary cancer-free survival, p = .015; overall survival, p = .014; disease-specific survival, p = .002 and HbA1c 7.0%: locoregional recurrence-free survival, p = .013; distant metastasis-free survival, p = .013; second primary cancer-free survival, p = .014; overall survival, p = .015; disease-specific survival, p = .004. Multivariate analyses identified HbA1c as an independent prognostic factor for overall and disease-specific survival (HbA1c 6.5%: p = .014 and .002, respectively; HbA1c 7.0%: p = .036 and .013, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Oral squamous cell carcinoma patients with higher preoperative HbA1c levels had longer hospitalization and worse survival outcomes.

Abstract
Purpose: This study aims to compare subfoveal choroidal thicknesses (SFCTs) after intravitreal dexamethasone (IVD) or intravitreal aflibercept (IVA) treatment in patients with persistent diabetic macular edema (DME) unresponsive to intravitreal ranibizumab (IVR). Methods: The study consisted of patients with DME unresponsive to IVR treatment in which 37 were administered 1 dose IVD (group A) and 34 patients who were administered 3 doses of IVA (group B), as well as 35 healthy individuals (group C). Detailed ophthalmological examination and optical coherence tomography parameters of group A and group B, including central retinal thickness and SFCT, were retrospectively evaluated before and after treatment. Results from preinjection, and 1, 2, and 3 months after injection were analyzed. Results of group A and group B were compared within themselves and also compared with group C. Results: SFCT measurements were compared within group A and group B (1 = preinjection; 2 = 1 month postinjection; 3 = 2 months postinjection; 4 = 3 months postinjection). There was significant thinning in SFCT between 1-2, 1-3, 1-4, 2-3, 2-4, and 3-4 time intervals within both group A and group B (both P < 0.001). Comparison of SFCT measurements showed preinjection, 1-, and 2-month values of group A were significantly thicker than those of group C (P < 0.001), whereas there was no significant difference between 3-month values (P = 0.09). Preinjection, 1-, and 2-month values of group B were significantly thicker than those of group C (P < 0.001), whereas there was no significant difference between 3-month values (P = 0.06). Conclusions: Three month follow-up showed thinning in SFCT measurements in patients with persistent DME unresponsive to IVR who were applied IVD or IVA treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Repurposed memantine, mefloquine, and metformin have putative anticancer activity. The objective of this phase 1 study was to determine the maximum tolerated doses (MTDs) of combinations of these agents with temozolomide (TMZ). METHODS Adults with newly diagnosed glioblastoma who completed chemoradiation were eligible. The patients were assigned to receive doublet, triplet, or quadruplet therapy with TMZ combined with mefloquine, memantine, and/or metformin. Dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) were determined, using a 3 + 3 study design. RESULTS Of 85 enrolled patients, 4 did not complete cycle 1 (the DLT observation period) for nontoxicity reasons, and 81 were evaluable for DLT. The MTDs for doublet therapy were memantine 20 mg twice daily, mefloquine 250 mg 3 times weekly, and metformin 850 mg twice daily. For triplet therapy, the MTDs were memantine 10 mg twice daily, mefloquine 250 mg 3 times weekly, and metformin 850 mg twice daily. For quadruplet therapy, the MTDs were memantine 10 mg twice daily, mefloquine 250 mg 3 times weekly, and metformin 500 mg twice daily. DLTs included dizziness (memantine) and gastrointestinal effects (metformin). Lymphopenia was the most common adverse event (66%). From study entry, the median survival was 21 months, and the 2-year survival rate was 43%. CONCLUSIONS Memantine, mefloquine, and metformin can be combined safely with TMZ in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma.
