Abstract

We examined possible anticancer effects of thiazolidinediones (TZDs) in 6074 Chinese with Type 2 diabetes free of cancer at enrolment. During a median follow-up of 4.93 years, 270 patients developed cancer. Use of TZDs was associated with reduced risk of cancer in a dose-response manner in multivariable analysis.<br /> (Copyright © 2012 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.)
