摘要
Colorectal cancer liver metastases (CRCLMs) have two main histopathological growth patterns (HPGs): desmoplastic (DHGP) and replacement (RHGP). The vascularization in DHGP tumours is angiogenic, while the RHGP tumours exert vessel co-option vasculature. The presence of vessel co-option tumours is associated with poor response to anti-angiogenic agents and chemotherapy, as well as a worse prognosis. Metformin has been shown to influence the progression and vasculature of tumours in different cancers. However, its role in CRCLM is poorly understood. Herein, we conducted a retrospective cohort study to examine the role of metformin in CRCLM. A dataset of 108 patients was screened, of which 20 patients used metformin. The metformin user patients did not use metformin as an anticancer agent. We noticed a significantly lower percentage of CRCLM patients with vessel co-opting RHGP tumours in the population that used metformin compared to CRCLM patients who did not use metformin. Similar results were obtained when we compared the ratio of recurrence and extrahepatic metastases incidence. Moreover, the metformin user patients had significantly higher survival outcome compared to nonusers. Collectively, our data suggest that metformin administration is likely associated with better prognosis of CRCLM.
