ABSTRACT: Background
Gastric cancer is often comorbid with hypertension and diabetes mellitus and increases the mortality risk.Materials and methods
We conducted this prospective cohort study to investigate antidiabetics and antihypertensives' impact on gastric cancer survival. 3012 patients with gastric carcinoma undergoing radical gastrectomy were enrolled since January 2000 and followed up until July 2020.Results
Hypertension and diabetes patients had worse survival than patients without hypertension and diabetes [median survival time (MST): 48 versus 112.5 months, p < 0.001 for hypertension, MST: 32.7 versus 183+ months, p < 0.001 for diabetes]. Compared to untreated patients, treated patients had better survival (MST: 109.7 months versus 39.1 months, p < 0.001 for antihypertensives, MST: 120.9 months versus 22.3 months, p < 0.001 for antidiabetics). Antihypertensives and antidiabetics were related to 42% (HR 0.58, 95% CI 0.47-0.73, p < 0.001) and 70% (HR 0.30, 95% CI 0.24-0.38, p < 0.001) reduced mortality risk relative to those without medications. metformin and Calcium channel blockers can better-improved prognosis compared to others (p = 0.00029 and p = 0.015).Conclusion
Post-surgical gastric cancer patients could benefit substantially from anti-diabetes and antihypertensive therapy. Metformin and Calcium channel blockers may be superior to other medications.
