    Title: Use of insulin and mortality from breast cancer among Taiwanese women with diabetes
    Authors: Tseng, CH
    Contributors: National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences
    Abstract: Background. To evaluate whether insulin use was predictive for mortality from breast cancer in Taiwanese women with diabetes mellitus. Methods. A total of 48,880 diabetic women were followed up to determine the mortality from breast cancer during 1995-2006. Cox models were used, considering the following independent variables: age, sex, diabetes type, diabetes duration, body mass index, smoking, insulin use, and area of residence. Insulin use was also considered for its duration of use at cutoffs of 3 years and 5 years. Results. Age was a significant predictor in all analyses. The multivariable-adjusted hazard ratio (95% confidence interval, P value) for insulin use without considering the duration of use was not statistically significant (1.339 [0.782-2.293, P = 0.2878 ]). Compared with nonusers, insulin users showed the following adjusted hazard ratios for insulin use <3 years, ≥ 3 years, <5 years, and ≥5 years: 0.567 (0.179-1.791, P = 0.3333), 2.006 (1.102-3.653, P = 0.0228), 1.045 (0.505-2.162, P = 0.9048), and 1.899 (0.934-3.860, P = 0.0763). Conclusions. Insulin use (mainly human insulin) for ≥3 years may be associated with a higher risk of breast cancer mortality.
