Aims: Studies on the prognosis of patients with diabetes and non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in the era of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are limited, and existing findings remain inconsistent. This meta-analysis explored the association between diabetes and survival outcomes in this population.
Methods: A total of 10 non-randomized studies comparing overall survival between patients with NSCLC receiving ICIs with and without diabetes were included.
