The association between metformin use and colorectal cancer survival among patients with diabetes mellitus: An updated meta-analysis
Objective: Recent studies have reported conflicting results on the correlation between metformin use and outcomes in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). A meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the efficacy of metformin therapy on the prognosis of CRC patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM...

A meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the efficacy of metformin therapy on the prognosis of CRC patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods: We conducted a systematic search of PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, and the Web of Science for related articles up to August 2016. Two investigators independently identified and extracted information. Pooled risk estimates [hazard ratios (HRs)] and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using fixed-effects models. The risk of publication bias was assessed by examining funnel plot asymmetry as well as Egger's test and Begg's test. Results: Of 81 articles identified, 8 retrospective cohort studies, representing 6098 cases of CRC patients with T2DM who used metformin and 4954 cases of CRC patients with T2DM who did not use metformin, were included in this meta-analysis. There was no significant heterogeneity and quality difference between studies. Metformin users had significantly improved overall survival (OS) (HRÂ =Â 0.82, 95% CI: 0.77â0.87, PÂ =Â 0.000). However, Metformin use cannot affect CRC-specific survival (HRÂ =Â 0.84, 95% CI: 0.69â1.02, PÂ =Â 0.079) compared to non-users. Conclusion: This meta-analysis suggests that metformin use may improve survival among CRC patients with T2DM. However, prospective controlled studies are still needed to rigorously evaluate the efficacy of metformin as an anti-tumor agent.
