摘要: Background A growing body of evidence has suggested that metformin potentially reduces the risk cancer. Our objective was to enhance precision estimates effect on any-site and site-specific cancers in patients with diabetes. Methods/principal findings We performed a search MEDLINE, EMBASE, ISI Web Science, Cochrane Library, ClinicalTrials.gov for pertinent articles published as October 12, 2011, included them systematic review meta-analysis. calculated pooled ratios (RRs) overall cancer mortality incidence. Of 21,195 diabetic reported 6 studies (4 cohort studies, 2 RCTs), 991 (4.5%) cases death from were reported. total 11,117 (5.3%) incident at any site among 210,892 10 (2 RCTs, case-control studies). The risks users significantly lower than those non-metformin users: RRs (95% confidence interval) 0.66 (0.49-0.88) mortality, 0.67 (0.53-0.85) all-cancer incidence, 0.68 (0.53-0.88) colorectal (n = 6), 0.20 (0.07-0.59) hepatocellular 4), (0.45-0.99) lung 3). Conclusion/significance use associated However, this analysis is mainly based observational our underscore more need long-term RCTs confirm potential benefit individuals
