Treatment With Metformin Is Associated With Higher Remission Rate in Diabetic Patients With Thyroid Cancer.

This retrospective clinical study compared responses to the treatment of differentiated thyroid cancer in diabetic patients treated with metformin, diabetic patients not treated with metformin, and control nondiabetic patients. The objective was to determine whether patients with differentiated thyroid cancer who were treated with metformin had better responses to their thyroid cancer treatment compared with diabetic thyroid cancer patients who were not treated with metformin.
