BMC Cancer 2023; 23:349. [PMID: 37069565 PMCID: PMC10108509 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-023-10777-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2022] [Accepted: 03/27/2023] [Indexed: 04/19/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND As both life expectancy and cancer survival improve, the incidence of multiple primary cancer has augmented and is expected to further increase. This study describes for the first time the epidemiology of multiple invasive tumours in Belgium. METHODS This nationwide study, based on all cancers diagnosed between 2004 and 2017 in Belgium, describes the proportion of multiple primary cancer, its evolution over time, the impact of inclusion or exclusion of multiple primary cancer on relative survival estimates, the risk of developing a second primary cancer, and the difference in stage between first and second primary cancer for the same patient. RESULTS The proportion of multiple primary cancer increases with age, varies across cancer sites (from 4% for testis cancer to 22.8% for oesophageal cancer), is higher in men than in women, and has linearly increased over time. The inclusion of multiple primary cancer resulted in smaller 5-year relative survival and this impact is more pronounced in cancer sites with high relative survival. Patients with a first primary cancer have an increased risk to develop a new primary cancer compared to the population without a previous cancer history (1.27 and 1.59 times higher in men and women, respectively) and this risk depends on cancer site. Second primary cancers are associated with more advanced stages and more unknown stages than the corresponding first cancer diagnosis. CONCLUSIONS This study describes multiple primary cancer according to several measures (proportion, standardised incidence ratio for an second primary cancer, impact of multiple primary cancer on relative survival and differences according to stage) for the first time in Belgium. The results are based on data of a population-based cancer registry with a relatively recent onset (2004).

Risk of second primary cancer among breast cancer patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Front Oncol 2023; 12:1094136. [PMID: 36733366 PMCID: PMC9887162 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2022.1094136] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2022] [Accepted: 12/20/2022] [Indexed: 01/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Objectives The aim of this study was to estimate the extra risk of second primary cancer among breast cancer patients. Methods and materials This is a systematic review. A comprehensive search of literature was performed in PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane library, and Scopus. The search included all published studies up to October 2022. This systematic review included studies published in the English language that reported the risk of second primary non-breast cancer [i.e., standardized incidence ratio (SIR)] among breast cancer patients older than 15 years. After evaluating the methodological quality of the selected studies, SIRs were pooled with consideration of heterogeneity among studies. The estimates were pooled by age and time since the diagnosis of primary breast cancer for both sexes (male and female). Age was categorized based on before 50 years and after 50 years, and time was categorized as duration of less than and more than 10 years, respectively. Results From 2,484 articles, 30 articles were eligible for inclusion in the systematic review and meta-analysis. The studies varied in terms of population, number of cases, study design, setting, and year of implementation of the research. The estimated SIR for men and women was 1.28 (95% CI: 1.18, 1.38) and 1.27 (95% CI: 1.15, 1.39), respectively. Women diagnosed with breast cancer before menopause [SIR: 1.52 (95% CI: 1.34, 1.71) vs. 1.21 (95% CI: 1.08, 1.34)] as well as women after 10 years since their breast cancer diagnosis [1.33 (95% CI: 1.22, 1.431) vs. 1.24 (95% CI: 1.10, 1.37)] were at a higher risk of developing second primary cancer. Among men, while there were no differences in risk based on age, with the increase of time, the risk of second primary cancer was reduced [SIR: 1.22 (95% CI: 1.12, 1.33) vs. 1.00 (95% CI: 0.79, 1.22)]. Conclusion There is an extra risk of second primary cancer among breast cancer patients. The extra risk should be considered for further screening and preventive measures among this population.

Population incidence and characteristics of secondary breast cancer after uterine cancer: a competing risk analysis. Arch Gynecol Obstet 2022; 306:865-874. [PMID: 35235021 DOI: 10.1007/s00404-022-06440-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2020] [Accepted: 02/09/2022] [Indexed: 01/17/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE To examine incidence and characteristics of women who developed secondary breast cancer after uterine cancer. METHODS This is a population-based retrospective cohort study utilizing the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Result Program from 1973 to 2013. Women with uterine cancer who did not have synchronous or a history of breast cancer were followed after their uterine cancer diagnosis (N = 236,561). A time-dependent competing risk analysis was performed to examine cumulative incidences and clinico-pathological characteristics of those who subsequently developed breast cancer. RESULTS There were 7110 (3.0%) women who developed secondary breast cancers after uterine cancer with 5-, 10-, and 20-year cumulative incidence rates of 1.5, 2.8, and 4.7%, respectively. The increase in the rate of secondary breast cancer was particularly high in the first 3 years after a uterine cancer diagnosis (annual percent change [APC] 4.9), followed by 3-7 years (APC 1.6) after diagnosis (P < 0.001). The median time to develop secondary breast cancer was 6.4 years. Older women had significantly shorter time intervals between uterine and breast cancer diagnoses (3.7 years for aged > 71, 5.9 for aged 64-71, 7.6 for aged 56-63, and 9.4 for aged < 56, P < 0.001). In a multivariable analysis, older age, White race, married status, endometrioid, serous, and mixed histology types, and early-stage tumors remained as independent factors of developing secondary breast cancer (all, P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Tumor factors with endometrioid and serous histology types and early-stage disease were the factors associated with secondary breast cancer after uterine cancer diagnosis. Older women had shorter time to develop secondary breast cancer.

Oxidation-strengthened disulfide-bridged prodrug nanoplatforms with cascade facilitated drug release for synergetic photochemotherapy. Asian J Pharm Sci 2020; 15:637-645. [PMID: 33193865 PMCID: PMC7610204 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajps.2019.09.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2019] [Revised: 09/05/2019] [Accepted: 09/13/2019] [Indexed: 01/17/2023] Open
Abstract
One of the major barriers in utilizing prodrug nanocarriers for cancer therapy is the slow release of parent drug in tumors. Tumor cells generally display the higher oxidative level than normal cells, and also displayed the heterogeneity in terms of redox homeostasis level. We previously found that the disulfide bond-linkage demonstrates surprising oxidation-sensitivity to form the hydrophilic sulfoxide and sulphone groups. Herein, we develop oxidation-strengthened prodrug nanosystem loaded with pyropheophorbide a (PPa) to achieve light-activatable cascade drug release and enhance therapeutic efficacy. The disulfide bond-driven prodrug nanosystems not only respond to the redox-heterogeneity in tumor, but also respond to the exogenous oxidant (singlet oxygen) elicited by photosensitizers. Once the prodrug nanoparticles (NPs) are activated under irradiation, they would undergo an oxidative self-strengthened process, resulting in a facilitated drug cascade release. The IC50 value of the PPa@PTX-S-S NPs without irradiation was 2-fold higher than those of NPs plus irradiation. In vivo, the PPa@PTX prodrug NPs display prolonged systemic circulation and increased accumulation in tumor site. The PPa@PTX-S-S NPs showed much higher efficiency than free PTX or the PPa@PTX-C-C NPs to suppress the growth of 4T1 tumors. Therefore, this novel oxidation-strengthened disulfide-bridged prodrug-nanosystem has a great potential in the enhanced efficacy of cancer synergetic photochemotherapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE Epidemiological evidence on the risk factors for uterine/endometrial cancer in breast cancer (BCa) survivors is limited and inconsistent. Therefore, we critically reviewed and summarized available evidence related to the risk factors for uterine/endometrial cancer in BCa survivors. METHODS We conducted a literature search through PubMed, Web of Science Core Collection/Cited Reference Search, as well as through manual searches of the bibliographies of the articles identified in electronic searches. We included in this review studies that were published up to November 30, 2018 that were accessible in full-text format and were published in English. RESULTS Of the 27 eligible studies, 96% had > 700 participants, 74% were prospective cohorts, 70% originated outside of the US, 44% reported as having pre-/postmenopausal women, and 26% reported having racially heterogeneous populations. Risk factors positively associated with uterine/endometrial cancer risk among BCa survivors included age at BCa diagnosis > 50 years, African American race, greater BMI/weight gain, and Tamoxifen treatment. For other lifestyle, reproductive and clinical factors, associations were either not significant (parity) or inconsistent (HRT use, menopausal status, smoking status) or had limited evidence (alcohol intake, family history of cancer, age at first birth, oral contraceptive use, age at menopause, comorbidities). CONCLUSION We identified several methodological concerns and limitations across epidemiological studies on potential risk factors for uterine/endometrial cancer in BCa survivors, including lack of details on uterine/endometrial cancer case ascertainment, varying and imprecise definitions of important covariates, insufficient adjustment for potential confounders, and small numbers of uterine/endometrial cancer cases in the overall as well as stratified analyses. Based on the available evidence, older age and higher body weight measures appear to be a shared risk factor for uterine/endometrial cancer in the general population as well as in BCa survivors. In addition, there is suggestive evidence that African American BCa survivors have a higher risk of uterine/endometrial cancer as compared to their White counterparts. There is also evidence that Tamoxifen contributes to uterine/endometrial cancer in BCa survivors. Given limitations of existing studies, more thorough investigation of these associations is warranted to identify additional preventive strategies needed for BCa survivors to reduce uterine/endometrial cancer risk and improve overall survival.

[PMID: 29659167 PMCID: PMC6010879 DOI: 10.1002/cam4.1473] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2017] [Revised: 01/15/2018] [Accepted: 03/06/2018] [Indexed: 01/17/2023] Open
Abstract
Breast, ovarian, and uterine corpus cancers are common female cancers and categorized as hormone-related diseases. Previous studies reported a unidirectional relationship for each cancer, but few studied the reciprocal association in the same cohort. A population-based study was carried out in Taiwan to test the hypothesis that there are pairwise bidirectional associations among these cancers. Using the same cohort of 110,112 cases with primary female cancers including uterine corpus cancer (11,146 cases), ovarian cancer (12,139 cases), or breast cancer (86,827 cases) from the Taiwan Cancer Registry from 1979 to 2008, the pairwise risks of second cancer among uterine corpus, ovary, and breast cancer cases were evaluated by standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) and the corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) to quantify the excess of second malignancies. A reciprocal relationship was found for these three female cancers, particularly most prominent between uterine and ovarian cancers, followed by breast and uterine cancers as well as breast and ovarian cancers. The overall risk of second cancers was highest within the first 5 years after the diagnosis of primary cancer. The bidirectional relationships suggest common risk factors among these three female cancers. This is the largest cohort study to focus on the bidirectional associations among hormone-related cancers in Asian women, and these results could aid in the development of early prevention strategies and follow-up surveillance programs.
