Article Synopsis
- Diabetes mellitus (DM) and hyperglycemia are linked to worse outcomes in cancer patients, particularly in those with non-metastatic soft tissue sarcoma (STS).
- A study of 475 STS patients revealed that DM significantly worsens cancer-specific survival (CSS) and overall survival (OS), even after accounting for other factors.
- However, pre-surgery blood glucose levels did not show a significant impact on survival outcomes, indicating that DM itself is the main negative prognostic factor for STS patients after curative surgery.
