.
In this large meta-analysis of patients with non-metastatic colon cancer (CC), researchers analyzed the effects of diabetes and metformin treatment on recurrence and survival in colon cancer patients

Three randomized adjuvant trials were included in this study, with pooled analyses at the patient level
