Abstract
Background and objective

In recent years, many studies have investigated metformin and its effects on lung cancer. However, since previous studies have shown that the relationship between metformin and lung cancer is complicated, we performed a meta-analysis to analyze this relationship.

Material and methods

An electronic database search was conducted using PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane library. Outcomes were quantified with hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals to compare lung cancer survival in patients treated with or without metformin.

Results

Ten studies, involving 4397 participants, were included. In the pooled analysis, we found that metformin treatment significantly improved the survival of lung cancer patients (hazard ratio=0.75, 95% confidence interval: 0.70–0.80; P<0.001). Subgroup analysis showed that when stratified by geographic region, the hazard ratios for overall survival were 0.76 (95% confidence interval: 0.71–0.81, P<0.001) and 0.51 (95% confidence interval: 0.25–0.78, P<0.001) for Western and Asian countries, respectively. When stratified by lung cancer subtype, the hazard ratios for overall survival were 0.78 (95% confidence interval: 0.71–0.84, P<0.001), 0.73 (95% confidence interval: 0.66–0.81, P<0.001), and 0.51 (95% confidence interval: 0.25–0.78, P<0.001) for non-divided, non-small cell, and small-cell lung cancer subtypes, respectively. When stratified by study design, the hazard ratios for overall survival were 0.77 (95% confidence interval: 0.71–0.83, P<0.001) and 0.71 (95% confidence interval: 0.63–0.80, P<0.001) for cohort-based and case–controlled studies, respectively.

Resumen
Antecedentes y objetivo

En los últimos años, muchos estudios han investigado los efectos de la metformina sobre el cáncer de pulmón. Sin embargo, dado que estudios previos habían demostrado que la relación entre la metformina y el cáncer de pulmón era complicada, realizamos un metaanálisis para estudiar esta relación.

Materiales y métodos

Se realizó una búsqueda en las bases de datos electrónicas PubMed, Embase y Cochrane Library. Los resultados se cuantificaron con cociente de riesgos instantáneos e intervalos de confianza del 95% para comparar la supervivencia del cáncer de pulmón en pacientes tratados con o sin metformina.

Resultados

Se incluyeron 10 estudios con un total de 4.397 participantes. En el análisis combinado, el tratamiento con metformina mejoró significativamente la supervivencia de los pacientes con cáncer de pulmón (cociente de riesgos instantáneos=0,75; intervalo de confianza del 95%: 0,70-0,80; p<0,001). El análisis de subgrupos mostró que cuando se estratificó por región geográfica, los cocientes de riesgos para la supervivencia global fueron de 0,76 (intervalo de confianza del 95%: 0,71-0,81; p<0,001) y 0,51 (intervalo de confianza del 95%: 0,25-0,78; p<0,001) para los países occidentales y asiáticos, respectivamente. Cuando se estratificó por subtipo de cáncer de pulmón, los cocientes de riesgo para la supervivencia global fueron de 0,78 (intervalo de confianza del 95%: 0,71-0,84; p<0,001), de 0,73 (intervalo de confianza del 95%: 0,66-0,81; p<0,001) y de 0,51 (intervalo de confianza del 95%: 0,25-0,78; p<0,001) para subtipos de cáncer de pulmón no microcítico, de células no pequeñas y de células pequeñas, respectivamente. Cuando se estratificó según el diseño del estudio, los cocientes de riesgo para la supervivencia global fueron de 0,77 (intervalo de confianza del 95%: 0,71-0,83; p<0,001) y de 0,71 (intervalo de confianza del 95%: 0,63-0,80; p<0,001) para estudios de cohortes y de casos-controles, respectivamente.
