Purpose: To determine new-onset or worsening T2DM risk in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) receiving abiraterone acetate (AA) vs. enzalutamide (ENZA) in England.
Methods: Records of patients on AA and/or ENZA (2015-2021) were analysed retrospectively from UK- or England-wide databases and data sets.
