Pang Y, Wei Y, Kartsonaki C. Associations of adiposity and weight change with recurrence and survival in breast cancer patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Breast Cancer 2022; 29:575-588. [PMID: 35579841 PMCID: PMC9226105 DOI: 10.1007/s12282-022-01355-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2022] [Accepted: 03/23/2022] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Adiposity and weight change among patients with breast cancer are associated with mortality, but there is limited evidence on the associations with distant recurrence or other causes of death or on central adiposity. Moreover, the relationship with breast cancer subtypes and by menopause status is unclear. METHODS We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of prospective studies of breast cancer patients investigating the associations of general and central adiposity (body mass index [BMI] and waist circumference [WC], respectively), before and after diagnosis, and weight change, with all-cause mortality, breast cancer-specific mortality (BCSM), and recurrence. RESULTS 173 studies (519,544 patients, 60,249 deaths overall, and 25,751 breast cancer deaths) were included. For BMI < 1 year post diagnosis, compared with normal weight women, the summary relative risk (RR) for obese women was 1.21 (1.15-1.27) for all-cause mortality, 1.22 (1.13-1.32) for BCSM, 1.12 (1.06-1.18) for recurrence, and 1.19 (1.11-1.28) for distant recurrence. Obesity was associated with all-cause mortality and BCSM in patients with ER+ or HER2+ tumors, whereas no clear association was observed in patients with triple-negative tumors. Similar associations were observed by menopausal status. Stronger associations were observed in East Asians than Europeans. Central adiposity was associated with all-cause mortality, while large weight gain was associated with all-cause mortality, BCSM, and recurrence. CONCLUSION Higher adiposity is associated with all-cause mortality, BCSM, recurrence, and distant recurrence in breast cancer patients, with similar associations by menopausal status and some evidence of heterogeneity by subtypes. Weight gain is also associated with recurrence and survival among breast cancer patients.

The Impact of Dietary Counselling on Achieving or Maintaining Normal Nutritional Status in Patients with Early and Locally Advanced Breast Cancer Undergoing Perioperative Chemotherapy. Nutrients 2022; 14:nu14122541. [PMID: 35745270 PMCID: PMC9228308 DOI: 10.3390/nu14122541] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2022] [Revised: 06/13/2022] [Accepted: 06/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Obesity is an independent prognostic factor and is associated with poorer response to oncological treatment of breast cancer. Obesity is associated with shorter overall survival and shorter time to recurrence. Material and methods: The study included 104 breast cancer patients qualified for neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The control group consisted of 40 patients who refused to participate in the study. Consultation before chemotherapy included: author's diet questionnaire, body composition analysis, nutrition education. After chemotherapy, the effects of the first dietary advice were evaluated. Results: More than half of all women had a BMI above normal before treatment. Analysis of the effects of nutrition education showed a significant improvement in body composition. After education, a slight increase in body weight and a significant decrease in fat mass and fat percentage were observed. In women who did not participate in education, a statistically significantly greater increase in body weight after chemotherapy was noted. Nutrition education of the study group did not prevent adverse changes in lipid profile resulting from chemotherapy. Conclusions: Dietary counselling prior to neoadjuvant chemotherapy may limit weight gain and may also influence fat mass reduction. Implementation of dietary recommendations does not guarantee maintenance of normal lipid parameters during chemotherapy.

Abstract
Objective To examine the association between the body mass index (BMI) and the risk of survival, and to evaluate whether tumor characteristics differ by BMI in patients with upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) managed by surgery. Methods A clinical series on 876 patients with localized UTUC following nephroureterectomy with a bladder cuff, with data from Osaka Medical College registry (discovery cohort) and the Nagoya group (validation cohort) was examined. In addition to analyzing the overall survival and cancer-specific survival (CSS), the survival impact adjusted by pathological variables was also assessed by the BMI group. Results The percentage of high risk features including positive lymphovascular invasion was doubled in the discovery cohort compared to the validation cohort. The group of BMI ≥ 25 kg/m<sup>2</sup> was associated with improved CSS in the discovery cohort (p = 0.004), and this tendency was verified in the validation cohort (p = 0.006). Nonproportional hazards existed for the group of BMI ≥ 25 kg/m<sup>2</sup> and the BMI 18.5-25 kg/m<sup>2</sup> relative to the group of BMI < 18.5 kg/m<sup>2</sup>, with a change in the CSS hazard. In multivariable Cox models, the BMI group had a superior predictive value compared with other pre-clinical factors both in the discovery cohort (HR = 3.85, p = 0.01; 95%CI: 0.09-0.73) and the validation cohort (HR = 1.56, p = 0.01; 95%CI: 0.45-0.91). When adjusted by lymphovascular invasion, the concordance of the model proposed by the discovery cohort (0.52) challenged in the validation cohort was 0.59. Conclusions We found a clinically relevant signature for high risk patients with BMI grouping. Further research is necessary on whether tailoring recommendations for weight and nutrition management to tumor characteristics will improve outcomes.

Body Mass Index as a Risk Factor for Toxicities in Patients with Advanced Soft-Tissue Sarcoma Treated with Trabectedin. Oncology 2018; 95:1-7.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Low body mass index (BMI) and/or low lean body mass have been shown to be risk factors for chemotherapy-related toxicities in a number of different cancers. However, no data are available regarding the role of BMI as a risk factor for developing toxicities related to the novel anticancer agent, trabectedin, in patients with soft-tissue sarcoma (STS). We evaluated the role of BMI as a risk factor for trabectedin-related toxicity in patients with STS. METHODS Data from 51 patients with metastatic/advanced STS treated with trabectedin after progression on ≥1 anthracycline ± ifosfamide regimen were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS Eighteen patients (35.3%) were underweight, and the remainder were of normal bodyweight (45.1%) or overweight (19.6%). Neutropenia of any grade (77.8 vs. 33.3%) and grade 3-4 neutropenia (50.0 vs. 18.2%) occurred more frequently in the underweight versus normal/overweight patients (p = 0.025). Febrile neutropenia also occurred more frequently in underweight patients. Differences remained statistically significant after adjusting for other predictors of toxicity. There were no significant differences in other hematological and nonhematological toxicities between the groups. CONCLUSIONS The data suggest for the first time that BMI should be considered a risk factor for neutropenia in patients with STS treated with trabectedin.

Abstract
The evidence emerged from the TOURANDOT trial encourages evaluating the role of anthropometric determinants on treatment outcomes in HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer patients treated with bevacizumab-including regimens. We thus analyzed data from a subgroup of these patients from a larger cohort previously assessed for treatment outcomes. Patients were included in the present analysis if body mass index values had been recorded at baseline. Clinical benefit rates, progression free survival and overall survival were assessed for the overall study population and subgroups defined upon molecular subtype. One hundred ninety six patients were included (N:196). Body mass index showed no impact on clinical benefit rates in the overall study sample and in the luminal cancer subset (p = 0.12 and p = 0.79, respectively), but did so in the triple negative subgroup, with higher rates in patients with body mass index ≥25 (p = 0.03). In the overall study sample, body mass index did no impact progression free or overall survival (p = 0.33 and p = 0.67, respectively). Conversely, in triple negative patients, progression free survival was significantly longer with body mass index ≥25 (6 vs 14 months, p = 0.04). In this subset, overall survival was more favorable (25 vs 19 months, p = 0.02). The impact of the molecular subtype was confirmed in multivariate models including the length of progression free survival, and number of metastatic sites (p < 0.0001). Further studies are warranted to confirm our findings in more adequately sized, ad hoc, prospective studies.

Abstract
To report the results of the DECT trial, a phase II study of locally advanced or operable HER2-positive breast cancer (BC) treated with taxanes and concurrent anthracyclines and trastuzumab. Eligible patients (stage IIA-IIIB HER2-positive BC, 18-75 years, normal organ functions, ECOG ≤1, and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥55%) received four cycles of neoadjuvant docetaxel, 100 mg/m(2) intravenously, plus trastuzumab 6 mg/kg (loading dose 8 mg/kg) every 3 weeks, followed by four 3-weekly cycles of epirubicin 120 mg/m(2) and cyclophosphamide, 600 mg/m(2) , plus trastuzumab. Primary objective was pathologic complete response (pCR) rate, defined as ypT0/is ypN0 at definitive surgery. We enrolled 45 consecutive patients. All but six patients (13.3%) completed chemotherapy and all underwent surgery. pCR was observed in 28 patients (62.2%) overall and in 6 (66.7%) from the inflammatory subgroup. The classification and regression tree analysis showed a 100% pCR rate in patients with BMI ≥25 and with hormone negative disease. The median follow up was 46 months (8-78). Four-year recurrence-free survival was 74.7% (95%CI, 58.2-91.2). Seven patients (15.6%) recurred and one died. Treatment was well tolerated, with limiting toxicity being neutropenia. No clinical cardiotoxicity was observed. Six patients (13.4%) showed a transient LVEF decrease (<10%). In one patient we observed a ≥10% asymptomatic LVEF decrease persisting after surgery. Notwithstanding their limited applicability due to the current guidelines, our findings support the efficacy of the regimen of interest in the neoadjuvant setting along with a fairly acceptable toxicity profile, including cardiotoxicity. Results on BMI may invite further assessment in future studies. J. Cell. Physiol. 231: 2541-2547, 2016. © 2016 The Authors. Journal of Cellular Physiology Published by Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
