Abstract Purpose: No evidence exists as to whether type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) impairs clinical outcome from immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) in patients with solid tumors. Experimental Design: In a large cohort of ICI recipients treated at 21 institutions June 2014 2020, we studied on glucose-lowering medications (GLM) for T2DM had shorter overall survival (OS) and progression-free (PFS). We used targeted transcriptomics subset explore differences the tumor microenvironment (TME) or...
