Prior research suggests metformin has anti-cancer effects, yet data are limited. We examined the association between diabetes treatment (metformin versus sulfonylurea) and risk of incident diabetes-related and non- diabetes-related cancers in US veterans. This retrospective cohort study included US veterans, without cancer, aged ≥ 55 years, who were new users of metformin or sulfonylureas for diabetes between 2001 to 2012.

- Older adults, who generally have multiple chronic conditions, make up a significant portion of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but their comorbidities are often poorly understood due to limitations in current assessment methods.
- The study aimed to identify and analyze patterns of multimorbidity in veterans treated for advanced NSCLC from 2002 to 2020, examining their relationship with mortality and healthcare usage.
- Five distinct multimorbidity patterns were identified, with variations in overall survival rates; certain patterns like metabolic diseases and cardiovascular disease were linked to a higher risk of death compared to those with more common aging conditions.
