Does prostate cancer progress faster for advanced patients with diabetes on ADT?   

 

The good news is that diabetes doesn't affect the time to castrate-resistance or the time to death.

 

However, diabetes may speed up the time to metastases

 

Advanced patients on ADT who don't have diabetes may get diabetes as a side effect of ADT.  

 

Bottom line: patients on ADT should do whatever is necessary to avoid or control diabetes.
