Impact of diabetes on colorectal cancer stage and mortality risk: a population-based cohort study

Conclusions/interpretationIndividuals with diabetes who develop CRC are not more likely to present with a later stage of CRC and have similar cancer-specific mortality compared with those without diabetes. Diabetes was associated with higher all-cause mortality in CRC patients, indicating that greater attention to non-cancer care is needed for CRC survivors with diabetes.
