BACKGROUND & AIMS: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains a leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Effects of second-line oral antidiabetic medications on incident HCC risk in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus remain unclear. This study evaluated associations between sulfonylureas, thiazolidinediones, meglitinides and alpha-glucosidase inhibitors, and incident HCC risk.
We systematically reviewed all studies on PubMed, Embase and Web of Science databases. Studies were included if they documented: (1) exposure to oral antidiabetic medication classes; (2) HCC incidence; (3) relative risks/odds ratios (OR) for HCC incidence. Eight eligible observational studies were identified. We performed random-effects meta-analyses to calculate pooled adjusted ORs (aORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CI).
Thiazolidinedione use (7 studies, 280,567 participants, 19,242 HCC cases) was associated with reduced HCC risk (aOR = 0.92, 95% CI = 0.86-0.97, I = 43%), including among Asian subjects (aOR = 0.90, 95% CI = 0.83-0.97), but not Western subjects (aOR = 0.95, 95% CI = 0.87-1.04). Alpha-glucosidase inhibitor use (3 studies, 56,791 participants, 11,069 HCC cases) was associated with increased HCC incidence (aOR = 1.08; 95% CI = 1.02-1.14, I = 21%). Sulfonylurea use (8 studies, 281,180 participants, 19,466 HCC cases) was associated with increased HCC risk in studies including patients with established liver disease (aOR = 1.06, 95% CI = 1.02-1.11, I = 75%). Meglitinide use (4 studies, 58,237 participants, 11,310 HCC cases) was not associated with HCC incidence (aOR = 1.19; 95% CI = 0.89-1.60, I = 72%).
Thiazolidinedione use was associated with reduced HCC incidence in Asian individuals with diabetes. Alpha-glucosidase inhibitor or sulfonylurea use was associated with modestly increased HCC risk; future research should determine whether those agents should be avoided in patients with chronic liver disease.
肝细胞癌(HCC)仍然是全球癌症相关死亡的主要原因。2 型糖尿病患者二线口服抗糖尿病药物对 HCC 发病风险的影响仍不清楚。本研究评估了磺酰脲类、噻唑烷二酮类、格列奈类和α-葡萄糖苷酶抑制剂与 HCC 发病风险之间的关联。
我们系统地检索了 PubMed、Embase 和 Web of Science 数据库中的所有研究。如果研究记录了以下内容,则将其纳入:(1)暴露于口服抗糖尿病药物类别;(2)HCC 发病率;(3)HCC 发病率的相对风险/优势比(OR)。确定了 8 项符合条件的观察性研究。我们进行了随机效应荟萃分析,以计算汇总调整后的 OR(aOR)和 95%置信区间(CI)。
噻唑烷二酮类药物的使用(7 项研究,280567 名参与者,19242 例 HCC 病例)与 HCC 风险降低相关(aOR=0.92,95%CI=0.86-0.97,I=43%),包括亚洲受试者(aOR=0.90,95%CI=0.83-0.97),但不包括西方受试者(aOR=0.95,95%CI=0.87-1.04)。α-葡萄糖苷酶抑制剂的使用(3 项研究,56791 名参与者,11069 例 HCC 病例)与 HCC 发生率增加相关(aOR=1.08;95%CI=1.02-1.14,I=21%)。磺酰脲类药物的使用(8 项研究,281180 名参与者,19466 例 HCC 病例)与包括患有已确诊肝病的患者的研究中的 HCC 风险增加相关(aOR=1.06,95%CI=1.02-1.11,I=75%)。格列奈类药物的使用(4 项研究,58237 名参与者,11310 例 HCC 病例)与 HCC 发生率无关(aOR=1.19;95%CI=0.89-1.60,I=72%)。
噻唑烷二酮类药物的使用与亚洲糖尿病患者 HCC 发病率降低有关。α-葡萄糖苷酶抑制剂或磺酰脲类药物的使用与 HCC 风险适度增加相关;未来的研究应确定这些药物是否应避免用于慢性肝病患者。
