ABSTRACT
This study aimed to explore whether the prediagnostic use of metformin and statins is associated with the prognosis of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and type 2 diabetes. We identified 1383 eligible individuals who had both type 2 diabetes and HCC diagnosed between 1998 and 2017 from several Finnish registers. Cox models were fitted for cause-specific and all-cause mortality in relation to the use of antidiabetic medications and statins prior to the HCC diagnosis. Prediagnostic metformin use was associated with decreased overall mortality (hazard ratio 0.84, 95% confidence interval 0.74-0.94) compared with nonuse in patients with type 2 diabetes. Similarly, slightly decreased HCC mortality and other-cause mortality were observed among metformin users. The results were inconclusive regarding metformin use and both overall and HCC mortality among patients with localized HCC. No discernible contrast between statin users and nonusers was found in overall mortality nor HCC mortality in either the whole cohort or patients with localized cancer.
