      Background:
      Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) has been associated with an increased risk of relapse and mortality in several cancer locations, but the prognostic value of T2DM or its metabolic control (MC) in patients (pts) with stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have not been studied yet. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the influence of T2DM and its MC on the prognosis of pts with NSCLC treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy (cCT-RT).

      Methods:
      170 pts with NSCLC stage III treated with cCT-RT at the Catalan Institute of Oncology from 2010-2014 were retrospectively reviewed. The overall survival (OS) and progression free survival (PFS) were calculated using Kaplan-Meier method and multivariate Cox model was adjusted by: age, histology, stage, ECOG PS and smoking history.

      Results:
      Patient characteristics: median age 64y (37-87), male 87%; ECOG≤1 92%; smoking history: current 49%, former 46%, never 5%; histology: adenocarcinoma 34%, squamous 43%, NOS 23%. Platinum doublet CT: Cisplatin 64%, Carboplatin 36%. RT between 60-70 Gys: 94%. At a median follow-up of 38 months (m), 108 patients relapsed (63%), mPFS; 13m (95% CI 10-16) and mOS: 28m (95% CI 22-34). 54 pts (32%) had been diagnosed with T2DM before NSCLC diagnosis. In the overall population mean baseline glycemia was 6.75 mmol/L (3-17). OS and PFS were significantly shorter in patients with T2DM (mOS 17m vs 31m, p=0,005; mPFS 10m vs 16m; p =0,003). T2DM pts were classified into 3 groups of MC based on glycated hemoglobin (HbAc1) before treatment: good MC (HbAc1 <7%), n=26pts; moderate MC (HbAc1 between 7.1-8.5%), n=18pts and poor MC (HbAc1 >8.6%), n=10pts. Poor MC was significantly associated with shorter mOS (11m) as compared with moderate MC (20m) and good MC (28m; p=0.029). T2DM pts treated with insulin had shorter mOS (8m vs 20m; p=0.002) and mPFS (7m vs 12m; p=0.002) than non-insulin treated pts. However there were no differences based on whether pts were taking metformin or not. T2DM was not associated with higher risk of treatment toxicity (pneumonitis or esophagitis). In the multivariate analysis, baseline glycemia and T2DM were both independent prognostic factors for OS (HR 1.2; IC95%1.17-1.3 and HR 1.51; IC95% 1.02 -2.27, respectively).

      Conclusion:
      Our data suggest that T2DM and poor MC is associated with worse prognosis in pts with stage III NSCLC treated with cCT-RT. Optimal control of T2DM and prevention of hyperglicaemia might benefit those pts, and further studies are warranted.
