Abstract

Background The administration of endocrine therapy for 5 years substantially reduces recurrence rates during and after treatment in women with early-stage, estrogen-receptor (ER)–positive breast cancer. Extending such therapy beyond 5 years offers further protection but has additional side effects. Obtaining data on the absolute risk of subsequent distant recurrence if therapy stops at 5 years could help determine whether to extend treatment. Methods In this meta-analysis of the results of 88 trials involving 62,923 women with ER-positive breast cancer who were disease-free after 5 years of scheduled endocrine therapy, we used Kaplan–Meier and Cox regression analyses, stratified according to trial and treatment, to assess the associations of tumor diameter and nodal status (TN), tumor grade, and other factors with patients’ outcomes during the period from 5 to 20 years. Results Breast-cancer recurrences occurred at a steady rate throughout the study period from 5 to 20 years. The risk of distant recurrence was strongly correlated with the original TN status. Among the patients with stage T1 disease, the risk of distant recurrence was 13% with no nodal involvement (T1N0), 20% with one to three nodes involved (T1N1–3), and 34% with four to nine nodes involved (T1N4–9); among those with stage T2 disease, the risks were 19% with T2N0, 26% with T2N1–3, and 41% with T2N4–9. The risk of death from breast cancer was similarly dependent on TN status, but the risk of contralateral breast cancer was not. Given the TN status, the factors of tumor grade (available in 43,590 patients) and Ki-67 status (available in 7692 patients), which are strongly correlated with each other, were of only moderate independent predictive value for distant recurrence, but the status regarding the progesterone receptor (in 54,115 patients) and human epidermal growth factor receptor type 2 (HER2) (in 15,418 patients in trials with no use of trastuzumab) was not predictive. During the study period from 5 to 20 years, the absolute risk of distant recurrence among patients with T1N0 breast cancer was 10% for low-grade disease, 13% for moderate-grade disease, and 17% for high-grade disease; the corresponding risks of any recurrence or a contralateral breast cancer were 17%, 22%, and 26%, respectively. Conclusions After 5 years of adjuvant endocrine therapy, breast-cancer recurrences continued to occur steadily throughout the study period from 5 to 20 years. The risk of distant recurrence was strongly correlated with the original TN status, with risks ranging from 10 to 41%, depending on TN status and tumor grade.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) for early breast cancer can make breast-conserving surgery more feasible and might be more likely to eradicate micrometastatic disease than might the same chemotherapy given after surgery. We investigated the long-term benefits and risks of NACT and the influence of tumour characteristics on outcome with a collaborative meta-analysis of individual patient data from relevant randomised trials. METHODS: We obtained information about prerandomisation tumour characteristics, clinical tumour response, surgery, recurrence, and mortality for 4756 women in ten randomised trials in early breast cancer that began before 2005 and compared NACT with the same chemotherapy given postoperatively. Primary outcomes were tumour response, extent of local therapy, local and distant recurrence, breast cancer death, and overall mortality. Analyses by intention-to-treat used standard regression (for response and frequency of breast-conserving therapy) and log-rank methods (for recurrence and mortality). FINDINGS: Patients entered the trials from 1983 to 2002 and median follow-up was 9 years (IQR 5-14), with the last follow-up in 2013. Most chemotherapy was anthracycline based (3838 [81%] of 4756 women). More than two thirds (1349 [69%] of 1947) of women allocated NACT had a complete or partial clinical response. Patients allocated NACT had an increased frequency of breast-conserving therapy (1504 [65%] of 2320 treated with NACT vs 1135 [49%] of 2318 treated with adjuvant chemotherapy). NACT was associated with more frequent local recurrence than was adjuvant chemotherapy: the 15 year local recurrence was 21·4% for NACT versus 15·9% for adjuvant chemotherapy (5·5% increase [95% CI 2·4-8·6]; rate ratio 1·37 [95% CI 1·17-1·61]; p=0·0001). No significant difference between NACT and adjuvant chemotherapy was noted for distant recurrence (15 year risk 38·2% for NACT vs 38·0% for adjuvant chemotherapy; rate ratio 1·02 [95% CI 0·92-1·14]; p=0·66), breast cancer mortality (34·4% vs 33·7%; 1·06 [0·95-1·18]; p=0·31), or death from any cause (40·9% vs 41·2%; 1·04 [0·94-1·15]; p=0·45). INTERPRETATION: Tumours downsized by NACT might have higher local recurrence after breast-conserving therapy than might tumours of the same dimensions in women who have not received NACT. Strategies to mitigate the increased local recurrence after breast-conserving therapy in tumours downsized by NACT should be considered-eg, careful tumour localisation, detailed pathological assessment, and appropriate radiotherapy.

Abstract

The activity of total thymidine kinase in serum (S-TK) has been used as a tumor maker for decades. To date such activity has been determined using[125]I-iodo-deoxyuridine as a substrate. The aim of this study was to develop a new, antibody-based technique for the measurement of cytoplasmic thymidine kinase (TK1) in serum. Both mono- and polyclonal antibodies against S-TK1 were used in dot blot assay. S-TK1 was characterized by SDS and IEF techniques. Sixty-five breast cancer patients were studied, including 17 preoperative and 38 postoperative tumor-free patients and 10 patients with metastases to the lymph nodes (N1–2). They were compared to patients with benign tumors (n=21) and healthy volunteers (n=11). S-TK1 was low (0–1.0 pM) in healthy volunteers, while in preoperative patients the level was increased 6–110-fold. Significant differences were observed between preoperative patients and healthy volunteers (p=0.005), preoperative patients and patients with benign tumors (p

Abstract

Background: We investigate whether differences in breast cancer survival in six high-income countries can be explained by differences in stage at diagnosis using routine data from population-based cancer registries. Methods We analysed the data on 257 362 women diagnosed with breast cancer during 2000-7 and registered in 13 population-based cancer registries in Australia, Canada, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and the UK. Flexible parametric hazard models were used to estimate net survival and the excess hazard of dying from breast cancer up to 3 years after diagnosis.Results:Age-standardised 3-year net survival was 87-89% in the UK and Denmark, and 91-94% in the other four countries. Stage at diagnosis was relatively advanced in Denmark: only 30% of women had Tumour, Nodes, Metastasis (TNM) stage I disease, compared with 42-45% elsewhere. Women in the UK had low survival for TNM stage III-IV disease compared with other countries. Conclusion International differences in breast cancer survival are partly explained by differences in stage at diagnosis, and partly by differences in stage-specific survival. Low overall survival arises if the stage distribution is adverse (e.g. Denmark) but stage-specific survival is normal; or if the stage distribution is typical but stage-specific survival is low (e.g. UK). International differences in staging diagnostics and stage-specific cancer therapies should be investigated.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: After breast-conserving surgery, radiotherapy reduces recurrence and breast cancer death, but it may do so more for some groups of women than for others. We describe the absolute magnitude of these reductions according to various prognostic and other patient characteristics, and relate the absolute reduction in 15-year risk of breast cancer death to the absolute reduction in 10-year recurrence risk. METHODS: We undertook a meta-analysis of individual patient data for 10,801 women in 17 randomised trials of radiotherapy versus no radiotherapy after breast-conserving surgery, 8337 of whom had pathologically confirmed node-negative (pN0) or node-positive (pN+) disease. FINDINGS: Overall, radiotherapy reduced the 10-year risk of any (ie, locoregional or distant) first recurrence from 35.0% to 19.3% (absolute reduction 15.7%, 95% CI 13.7-17.7, 2p/=20%), intermediate (10-19%), or lower (, link_to_OA_fulltext

Abstract

DNA measurements and histopathologic evaluation were performed in 17 patients treated with adjuvant tamoxifen for early breast cancer and who developed endometrial carcinoma during or after the tamoxifen therapy. The tumors were exclusively characterized by euploid DNA content except for two cases, one mixed mesodermal sarcoma, a highly malignant and rare tumor, and one adenocarcinoma. Although the use of adjuvant tamoxifen therapy most likely enhances the risk of developing endometrial carcinoma, the beneficial effects of adjuvant breast cancer treatment is of well-known clinical importance. The hazards of giving long-term tamoxifen seem to be low since the endometrial tumors were associated with low-grade malignancy and euploid DNA pattern.

Abstract

Background: Tamoxifen has been associated with an increased risk of stroke. There is, however, little information on the effect in the post-treatment period. Using data from the Swedish Breast Cancer Group adjuvant trial of 5 vs 2 years of tamoxifen treatment, we now report both short-term and long-term effects on morbidity as well as mortality because of cerebrovascular disease.Methods: Data from the Swedish National Hospital Discharge Registry combined with information from the Swedish Cause of Death Registry was used to define events of disease. Hazard ratios (HRs) were estimated using Cox regression.Results: Comparing patients randomised to 5 years of tamoxifen with patients randomised to 2 years of tamoxifen, the incidence of cerebrovascular diseases was increased (HR 1.70, 95% CI 1.05-2.75) during the active treatment phase and reduced after the active treatment period (HR 0.78, 95% CI 0.63-0.96), and the difference in HR between the two time-periods was significant (P=0.0033). The mortality from cerebrovascular diseases was increased during the treatment period (HR 3.18, 95% CI 1.03-9.87) and decreased during the post-treatment period (HR 0.60, 95% CI 0.40-0.90) with a significant difference in HR between the two periods of follow-up (P=0.0066). Similar results were seen for subgroups of cerebrovascular diseases, such as stroke and ischaemic stroke.Conclusion: In an adjuvant setting, tamoxifen was associated with an increased risk of cerebrovascular disease during treatment, but a decreased risk in the post-treatment period.

JOHNSSON A., FORNANDER T., RUTQVIST L.E. & OLSSON M. (2010) European Journal of Cancer Care 19, 317–323 Factors influencing return to work: a narrative study of women treated for breast cancer The purpose of this qualitative study was to identify factors contributing to a successful return to the labour market after treatment for breast cancer from the women's own perspective. The study is based on 16 narratives – open-ended, in-depth interviews – about women's experiences and thoughts from the period after breast cancer surgery when they focused on their return to work. The women were recruited from participants of a multicentre trial, which allowed comparisons across a range of adjuvant therapies. The narratives of women who worked full time at a cut-off point of 1 year after surgery are analysed separately from the narratives of women still sick-listed at that point of time. The findings show that while all the women strove to belong to the labour market, the study also reveals changes in women's perceptions of the value of employment. The quality of social support received from employers and coworkers differed between women who returned to work and those still sick-listed 1 year after breast cancer treatment. A need to design interventions focusing on the work arena of women treated for breast cancer is pointed out. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Background: Tumour size and nodal involvement are the two main prognostic factors in breast cancer (BC). Their impact on the natural history of BC is not fully captured by analyses that ignore their quantitative nature.Method: Data pertaining to 18 159 patients treated with primary surgery: 3661 at the Institut Gustave-Roussy (IGR, France) between 1954 and 1983, and 14 498 in the breast cancer registry in the Stockholm-Gotland Health Care region (SG, Sweden) between 1976 and 1999, were collected. The risks of distant metastases (DMs) and of nodal involvement were analysed according to tumour size with parametric models.Results: Using SG 1976-1990 as the reference group, relative risks (RRs) for DM were equal to 1.42 (95% CI: 1.29-1.56; P<10(-10)) in IGR and 0.61 (95% CI: 0.55-0.67; P<10(-10)) in SG 1991-1999. Differences in tumour size explained the increased risk in IGR (RR adjusted for tumour size 1.09; 95% CI: 0.99-1.20; P=0.07), but not the decreased risk in SG 1991-1999 (adjusted RR: 0.63; 95% CI: 0.57-0.69; P<10(-10)). The relationship between tumour size and DM risk changed significantly during the 1990s.Conclusion: Early diagnosis is sufficient to explain differences in the prognosis before 1990. After 1990, the use of adjuvant systemic therapies is the main reason for the reduction in DM. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The HER receptors are of therapeutic and prognostic significance in breast cancer, and their function is modulated by cytoplasmic tyrosine kinases like PTK6 (brk). We performed a retrospective study on archival breast cancer samples from patients with long follow-up and compared the protein expression between individual HERs and between HERs and the PTK6. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to study the prognostic value of parameters. Metastases-free survival of patients for longer than 240 months was inversely associated (P0.05) with nodal status, tumour size, and oestrogen receptor status, but was also directly associated with high protein expression levels of HER4 and PTK6 in Kaplan–Meier analysis. In multivariate analysis for metastases-free survival of >240 months, the stepwise selected parameters were tumour size (relative risk 3.1), PTK6 expression (0.4), and number of positive lymph nodes (1.2). Furthermore, we demonstrated a timedependence of the prognostic value attributed to the parameters. The HER receptors (HER2,4), but not PTK6, were independent prognostic markers for metastases-free survival at 60 months, whereas at 240 months PTK6 is the strongest prognostic marker. We demonstrate that PTK6 is a prognostic marker of metastases-free survival in breast cancer, and is independent of the classical morphological and molecular markers of lymph node involvement, tumour size, and HER2 status.British Journal of Cancer (2007) 96, 801–807. doi:10.1038/sj.bjc.6603613 www.bjcancer.com Published online 13 February 2007 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

16. DNA-content in endometrial carcinoma of tamoxifen-treated breast cancer patients.

Author

MOBERGER, B., FORNANDER, T., and HELLSTRÖM, A-C.

Abstract

DNA measurements and histopathologic evaluation were performed in 17 patients treated with adjuvant tamoxifen for early breast cancer and who developed endometrial carcinoma during or after the tamoxifen therapy. The tumors were exclusively characterized by euploid DNA content except for two cases, one mixed mesodermal sarcoma, a highly malignant and rare tumor, and one adenocarcinoma. Although the use of adjuvant tamoxifen therapy most likely enhances the risk of developing endometrial carcinoma, the beneficial effects of adjuvant breast cancer treatment is of well-known clinical importance. The hazards of giving long-term tamoxifen seem to be low since the endometrial tumors were associated with low-grade malignancy and euploid DNA pattern. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Background The oestrogen receptor (ER) co-activator amplified in breast cancer 1 (AIB1) has been suggested as a treatment predictive and prognostic marker in breast cancer. Studies have however not been unanimous. Patients and methods AIB1 protein expression was analysed by immunohistochemistry on tissue micro-arrays with tumour samples from 910 postmenopausal women randomised to tamoxifen treatment or no adjuvant treatment. Associations between AIB1 expression, clinical outcome in the two arms and other clinicopathological variables were examined. Results In patients with ER-positive breast cancer expressing low tumour levels of AIB1 (<75%), we found no significant difference in recurrence-free survival (RFS) or breast cancer-specific survival (BCS) between tamoxifen treated and untreated patients. In patients with high AIB1 expression (>75%), there was a significant decrease in recurrence rate (HR 0.40, 95% CI 0.26–0.61, P < 0.001) and breast cancer mortality rate (HR 0.38, 95% CI 0.21–0.69, P = 0.0015) with tamoxifen treatment. In the untreated arm, we found high expression of AIB1 to be significantly associated with lower RFS (HR 1.74, 95% CI 1.20–2.53, P = 0.0038). Conclusion Our results suggest that high AIB1 is a predictive marker of good response to tamoxifen treatment in postmenopausal women and a prognostic marker of decreased RFS in systemically untreated patients.

Abstract

Abstract: The Zoladex In Pre-menopausal Patients (ZIPP) study was designed to determine whether addition of goserelin (‘Zoladex’) and/or tamoxifen to adjuvant therapy (radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy), provided benefit to pre- or peri-menopausal women with operable, early breast cancer. A combined analysis of four randomised trials using a core protocol was performed. Patients (n =2710) were randomised into a 2×2 factorial trial based on goserelin and tamoxifen (n =1800) or randomised to receive goserelin or not (n =910; some received elective tamoxifen) for 2 years. The analysis presented here compares women who did (n =1354) or did not (n =1356) receive goserelin. After a median follow-up of 5.5 years, goserelin provided a significant benefit for event-free survival (hazard ratio [HR] 0.80; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.69, 0.92; P =0.002) and overall survival (HR 0.81; 95% CI 0.67, 0.99; P =0.038). Goserelin was well tolerated. These data show that the addition of goserelin to standard adjuvant therapy is more effective than standard therapy alone in pre-menopausal women with early breast cancer. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract

In a population-based cohort of 6613 women with invasive breast cancer, who had breast-conserving surgery between 1981 and 1990, 391 recurrences in the operated breast were identified. The main aim of this study was to examine the prognosis and prognostic factors in different subgroups of local recurrences, characterised by the time to recurrence, location of recurrence and previously given radiotherapy. The median follow-up for women who had a local recurrence was 7.9 years. The life-table estimates for breast cancer-specific survival in women with local recurrences were 84.5% (standard error (S.E.) 1.8) at 5 years and 70.9% (S.E. 2.7) at 10 years. The risk of breast cancer death was highest among women who had an early (2 years) recurrence in the same quadrant as the primary tumour, with a breast cancer-specific survival of 67.9% (S.E. 4.8) at 5 years and 56.0% (S.E. 5.9) at 10 years. There was a statistically significant difference in the probability of breast cancer-specific survival, as measured from the recurrence, between women who initially did or did not receive radiotherapy (P=0.0123). However, when measured from primary treatment, there was no significant difference, indicating that the difference in prognosis could be due to a lead-time bias. Independent prognostic factors for breast cancer-specific survival in women with local recurrences were time to local recurrence and the Nottingham Prognostic Index (NPI). [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
