Impact of oral hypoglycemic agents on mortality among diabetic patients with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer: A population-based analysis.

CONCLUSIONS: In this large, population-based study, we have provided further evidence that metformin use does not significantly impact DSS among diabetic patients diagnosed with NMIBC. However, our findings demonstrate that glyburide use inversely affects DSS. The detrimental effect of glyburide on DSS will require further validation.
