Local control in oropharyngeal cancer has improved to unprecedented rates with combined modality therapy, and as a result distant metastases are becoming a principle challenge. We aimed to determine the impact of diabetes mellitus and metformin use on clinical outcomes in a large population of oropharyngeal cancer patients treated in the modern era. We identified 1,745 consecutive patients with oropharyngeal cancer treated at two large cancer centers with external beam radiotherapy from 1998-2011. A total of 184 patients had diabetes mellitus at time of diagnosis, of which 102 were taking metformin. Outcomes assessed included local failure-free survival (LFFS), regional failure-free survival (RFFS), distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS), and overall survival (OS). Median follow-up was 4.3 years, and the 5-year actuarial rates of DMFS were 89.6% for non-diabetics and 78.7% for diabetic non-metformin users (p=0.011), and OS were 83.0% for non-diabetics and 70.7% for diabetic non-metformin users (p=0.048). Diabetic metformin users had similar 5-year DMFS (90.1%) and OS (89.6%) to non-diabetics. Multivariate analysis (diabetic non-metformin as reference) demonstrated improved DMFS for non-diabetic patients (0.54 [0.32-0.93], p=0.03) and a trend towards improved DMFS with metformin use (Hazard Ratio 0.46 [95%CI 0.20-1.04], p=0.06). LFFS and RFFS were high in all groups and were not significantly different by diabetic status or metformin use. Diabetic patients not using metformin independently have significantly higher rates of distant metastases than non-diabetic patients, whereas metformin users have similar rates of distant metastases to non-diabetics. Further prospective investigation is warranted to validate metformin's benefit in oropharyngeal cancer.
