Abstract
PURPOSE With life span extending, breast cancer survivors may face the possibility of developing second primary cancers (SPCs). The objective of this research is to investigate the risk factors, risk attribute to radiotherapy and the survivalship for SPCs. METHODS A total of 445 523 breast cancer patients were enrolled from Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database in 2000-2018. The risk factors for SPCs development were confirmed by competing risk model, and then were integrated to the nomogram establishment. The cumulative incidence of SPCs including SBC (second breast cancer), SGC (second gynecological cancer), and SLC (second lung cancer) were estimated. The radiotherapy-associated risk for SPCs were evaluated by Poisson regression in radiotherapy and no-radiotherapy. Propensity score matching was used to reduce possible bias for survival comparison. RESULTS There were 57.63% patients in radiotherapy. The risk factors for developing SPCs were age, year, race, tumor size, stage, radiotherapy, grade, surgery, and histology. The cumulative incidence of SPCs was 7.75% in no-radiotherapy and 10.33% in radiotherapy. SLC, SBC, and SGC also appeared the similar results. The increased risk of developing SPCs were associated with radiotherapy in majority subgroups. The dynamic radiotherapy-associated risk for SPCs by age slightly increased risk was observed. Regardless radiotherapy or no-radiotherapy, the 10-year overall survival for SBC (radiotherapy: 59.41%; no-radiotherapy: 55.53%) and SGC (radiotherapy: 48.61%; no-radiotherapy: 35.53%) were worse than that among matched patients with only primary cancers. CONCLUSIONS Breast cancer survivors remained a high radiotherapy-associated risk for developing SPCs. The prognosis in radiotherapy was better than in no-radiotherapy for some specific SPCs. Largely attention should be paid to these patients.

Avatefi M, HadavandSiri F, Nazari SSH, Akbari ME. Risk factors of developing contralateral breast cancer after first primary breast cancer treatment. Cancer Rep (Hoboken) 2024; 7:e1927. [PMID: 37919558 PMCID: PMC10809186 DOI: 10.1002/cnr2.1927] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2023] [Revised: 10/11/2023] [Accepted: 10/16/2023] [Indexed: 11/04/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cancer among women worldwide. Increased survival of primary BC (PBC) has increased contralateral breast cancer (CBC) and become a health problem. AIMS This study aimed to determine the effect of disease-free interval (DFI), risk factors and PBC characteristics on the progression of CBC within primary BC survivors. METHODS AND RESULTS This retrospective study identified 5003 women diagnosed with breast cancer between 2000 and 2020 in the cancer research center. The study included 145 CBC and 4858 PBC survivors, with CBC diagnosed at least 6 months after the detection of primary BC. ER+, PR+, and HER2+ were reported in 72.13%, 66.67%, and 30% of CBC patients. Invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) BC was reported in 69.57% of patients, and 81.90% and 83.64% of the patients were treated with adjuvant chemotherapy and external radiotherapy. The Kaplan-Meier method indicated that the median time interval between PBC and CBC was 3.92 years, and the 5-year DFI was 97%. The Cox proportional hazard regression model indicated that although more than half of the participants had no family history of BC (69.57%), women 60 years and older were negatively associated with CBC. CONCLUSION This study provides the first investigation of CBC and DFI risk factors among PBC survivors in Iran. Age was found to be negatively associated with CBC development particularly after the age of 60, indicating the necessity of tracking CBC survivors carefully in this age group.

Contralateral Breast Cancer Risk Among Carriers of Germline Pathogenic Variants in ATM, BRCA1, BRCA2, CHEK2, and PALB2. J Clin Oncol 2023; 41:1703-1713.

Abstract
PURPOSE To estimate the risk of contralateral breast cancer (CBC) among women with germline pathogenic variants (PVs) in ATM, BRCA1, BRCA2, CHEK2, and PALB2. METHODS The study population included 15,104 prospectively followed women within the CARRIERS study treated with ipsilateral surgery for invasive breast cancer. The risk of CBC was estimated for PV carriers in each gene compared with women without PVs in a multivariate proportional hazard regression analysis accounting for the competing risk of death and adjusting for patient and tumor characteristics. The primary analyses focused on the overall cohort and on women from the general population. Secondary analyses examined associations by race/ethnicity, age at primary breast cancer diagnosis, menopausal status, and tumor estrogen receptor (ER) status. RESULTS Germline BRCA1, BRCA2, and CHEK2 PV carriers with breast cancer were at significantly elevated risk (hazard ratio > 1.9) of CBC, whereas only the PALB2 PV carriers with ER-negative breast cancer had elevated risks (hazard ratio, 2.9). By contrast, ATM PV carriers did not have significantly increased CBC risks. African American PV carriers had similarly elevated risks of CBC as non-Hispanic White PV carriers. Among premenopausal women, the 10-year cumulative incidence of CBC was estimated to be 33% for BRCA1, 27% for BRCA2, and 13% for CHEK2 PV carriers with breast cancer and 35% for PALB2 PV carriers with ER-negative breast cancer. The 10-year cumulative incidence of CBC among postmenopausal PV carriers was 12% for BRCA1, 9% for BRCA2, and 4% for CHEK2. CONCLUSION Women diagnosed with breast cancer and known to carry germline PVs in BRCA1, BRCA2, CHEK2, or PALB2 are at substantially increased risk of CBC and may benefit from enhanced surveillance and risk reduction strategies.

[PMID: 36733362 PMCID: PMC9887128 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2022.1044945] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2022] [Accepted: 12/29/2022] [Indexed: 01/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective To examine the factors that affect the prognosis and survival of breast cancer patients who were diagnosed at the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University between 2015 and 2021, forecast the overall survival (OS), and assess the clinicopathological traits and risk level of prognosis of patients in various subgroups. Method First, nomogram model was constructed using the Cox proportional hazards models to identify the independent prognostic factors of breast cancer patients. In order to assess the discrimination, calibration, and clinical utility of the model, additional tools such as the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, calibration curve, and clinical decision curve analysis (DCA) were used. Finally, using two-step cluster analysis (TCA), the patients were grouped in accordance with the independent prognostic factors. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was employed to compare prognostic risk among various subgroups. Result T-stage, N-stage, M-stage, molecular subtyping, type of operation, and involvement in postoperative chemotherapy were identified as the independent prognostic factors. The nomogram was subsequently constructed and confirmed. The area under the ROC curve used to predict 1-, 3-, 5- and 7-year OS were 0.848, 0.820, 0.813, and 0.791 in the training group and 0.970, 0.898, 0.863, and 0.798 in the validation group, respectively. The calibration curves of both groups were relatively near to the 45° reference line. And the DCA curve further demonstrated that the nomogram has a higher clinical utility. Furthermore, using the TCA, the patients were divided into two subgroups. Additionally, the two groups' survival curves were substantially different. In particular, in the group with the worse prognosis (the majority of patients did not undergo surgical therapy or postoperative chemotherapy treatment), the T-, N-, and M-stage were more prevalent in the advanced, and the total points were likewise distributed in the high score side. Conclusion For the survival and prognosis of breast cancer patients in Xinjiang, the nomogram constructed in this paper has a good prediction value, and the clustering results further demonstrated that the selected factors were important. This conclusion can give a scientific basis for tailored treatment and is conducive to the formulation of focused treatment regimens for patients in practical practice.

Extended adjuvant endocrine treatment for premenopausal women: A Delphi approach to guide clinical practice. Front Oncol 2022; 12:1032166. [PMID: 36387212 PMCID: PMC9645191 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2022.1032166] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2022] [Accepted: 09/22/2022] [Indexed: 10/02/2023] Open
Abstract
The use of an aromatase inhibitor (AI) in combination with ovarian function suppression (OFS) has become the mainstay of adjuvant endocrine therapy in high-risk premenopausal patients with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. Although five years of such therapy effectively reduces recurrence rates, a substantial risk of late recurrence remains in this setting. Multiple trials have shown that extending AI treatment beyond five years could offer further protection. However, as these studies comprised only postmenopausal patients, no direct evidence currently exists to inform about the potential benefits and/or side effects of extended AI + OFS therapies in premenopausal women. Given these grey areas, we conducted a Delphi survey to report on the opinion of experts in breast cancer treatment and summarize a consensus on the discussed topics. A total of 44 items were identified, all centred around two main themes: 1) defining reliable prognostic factors to pinpoint premenopausal patients eligible for endocrine therapy extension; 2) designing how such therapy should optimally be administered in terms of treatment combinations and duration based on patients' menopausal status. Each item was separately discussed and anonymously voted by 12 experts representing oncological institutes spread across Italy. The consensus threshold was reached in 36 out of 44 items (82%). Herein, we discuss the levels of agreement/disagreement achieved by each item in relation to the current body of literature. In the absence of randomized trials to guide the tailoring of extended AI treatment in premenopausal women, conclusions from our study provide a framework to assist routine clinical practice.
