RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The optimal adjuvant endocrine therapy (ET) in hormone receptor positive (HR+) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 positive (HER2+) premenopausal breast cancer (BC) remains unclear. Moreover, the benefit and clinical indications of ovarian suppression (OS) is poorly elucidated. We described real-world patterns surrounding choice of ET and clinicopathologic features which predicted treatment with OS in a contemporary cohort of premenopausal women with HR+/HER2+ BC. METHODS: This retrospective analysis included premenopausal patients with nonmetastatic HR+/HER2+ BC from the CancerLinQ Discovery database from January 2010 to May 2020. Women were less than 50 years and received chemotherapy, anti-HER2 therapy, and ET. They were categorized into 1 of 4 groups based on type of ET prescribed at initiation: aromatase inhibitor (AI) + OS, OS, tamoxifen + OS, or tamoxifen. Multivariable logistic regression assessed associations between clinicopathologic features and OS use. RESULTS: Out of 360,540 patients with BC, 937 were included. The majority (n = 818, 87%) were prescribed tamoxifen, whereas 4 (0.4%), 50 (5.3%), and 65 (6.9%) received OS, tamoxifen + OS and AI + OS, respectively. No clinicopathologic features predicted OS use apart from age; patients <35 years were more likely to receive OS compared with those ≥35 years (odds ratio 2.33, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: This is the first real-world study evaluating ET treatment patterns in HR+/HER2+ premenopausal BC. OS use was uncommon and the majority received tamoxifen as the preferred ET regardless of most clinicopathologic risk factors. Additional research is needed to optimize ET decisions in young women with this distinct BC subtype.

RESUMO

Lifestyle interventions targeting energy balance (ie, diet, exercise) are critical for optimizing the health and well-being of cancer survivors. Despite their benefits, access to these interventions is limited, especially in underserved populations, including older people, minority populations and those living in rural and remote areas. Telehealth has the potential to improve equity and increase access. This article outlines the advantages and challenges of using telehealth to support the integration of lifestyle interventions into cancer care. We describe 2 recent studies, GO-EXCAP and weSurvive, as examples of telehealth lifestyle intervention in underserved populations (older people and rural cancer survivors) and offer practical recommendations for future implementation. Innovative approaches to the use of telehealth-delivered lifestyle intervention during cancer survivorship offer great potential to reduce cancer burden.

RESUMO

Obesity in breast cancer (BC) survivors is associated with increased mortality. Delay discounting (DD) is a behavioral economic measure of how individuals value future outcomes. Higher DD correlates with obesity in the general population. Valuation of the future may be associated with obesity differently in cancer survivors. This study evaluated the relationship between DD and obesity in BC survivors. We report an exploratory analysis assessing cross-sectional associations between DD, BMI, and lifestyle behaviors (vegetable and fruit consumption, exercise) related to obesity in 89 women with hormone receptor positive non-metastatic BC. Multivariate linear regression analysis examined demographic and lifestyle behavior variables associated with both BMI and DD. Greater willingness to wait for larger, delayed rewards (lower DD) was significantly associated with lower BMI (standardized beta = −0.32; p < 0.01), independent of age, race, income, time since diagnosis, and menopausal status. There was no significant association between DD and fruit consumption or exercise frequency. Vegetable consumption was significantly associated with lower DD (standardized beta = 0.24; p < 0.05). Higher DD is associated with obesity and decreased frequency of vegetable consumption in BC survivors. Future studies should investigate DD as a therapeutic target for behavioral interventions to facilitate weight loss and promote longevity in this population.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Adjuvant ovarian function suppression (OFS) in premenopausal hormone receptor (HR) positive breast cancer (BC) improves survival. Adherence to adjuvant gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogs (GnRHa) remains a challenge and is associated with toxicities and inconvenient parenteral administration. The goal of this study was to describe real-world adherence patterns and patient preferences surrounding adjuvant GnRHa. METHODS: We analyzed the medical records of premenopausal women with non-metastatic HR positive BC from January 2000 to December 2017; participants received adjuvant monthly goserelin or leuprolide at The Ohio State University. Data collected included demographics, clinicopathologic characteristics, and OFS adherence/side effects. We defined non-adherence as discontinuation of GnRHa within 3 years for a reason other than switching to an alternate OFS, delay > 7 days from a dose, or a missed dose. Chi-square tests assessed associations between clinical characteristics and outcomes. RESULTS: A total of 325 patients met eligibility. Of these, 119 (37%) patients were non-adherent to GnRHa; 137 (42%) underwent elective bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy after initial GnRHa. Those opting for surgery reported significantly more hot flashes (74% vs 48%, p < 0.001), arthralgias (46% vs 30%, p = 0.003), and vaginal dryness (37% vs 21%, p = 0.001) compared with patients remaining on GnRHa. CONCLUSION: Non-adherence to adjuvant GnRHa occurred in over a third of patients and almost half the patients initiating GnRHa underwent subsequent surgical ablation. These high frequencies highlight real-world patterns of OFS. Additionally, treatment toxicities may impact personal preference of OFS modality. Personalized practices to target predictors of adjuvant GnRHa non-adherence are critical to optimize symptoms, adherence, and survivorship.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Sclerosing mucoepidermoid carcinoma with eosinophilia is a rare form of thyroid carcinoma. The underlying molecular mechanisms of sclerosing mucoepidermoid carcinoma with eosinophilia tumorigenesis remain unknown. CASE PRESENTATION: We present two cases of sclerosing mucoepidermoid carcinoma with eosinophilia, both with a concurrent papillary thyroid carcinoma. Patient 1, a 70-year-old Caucasian woman, presented with sclerosing mucoepidermoid carcinoma with eosinophilia with distant renal metastasis and coexisting papillary thyroid carcinoma. Patient 2, a 74-year-old Caucasian woman with a remote history of thyroid cancer treated with thyroidectomy, presented with locoregionally invasive sclerosing mucoepidermoid carcinoma with eosinophilia and recurrent papillary thyroid carcinoma in the thyroid bed. BRAF mutation studies were performed on the sclerosing mucoepidermoid carcinoma with eosinophilia tumors. In both cases, sclerosing mucoepidermoid carcinoma with eosinophilia was positive for the BRAF V600E mutation by polymerase chain reaction. Patient 1 is the first reported case of sclerosing mucoepidermoid carcinoma with eosinophilia with renal metastasis, to the best of our knowledge. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest, for the first time, to our knowledge, involvement of the RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK signaling pathway in the pathogenesis of sclerosing mucoepidermoid carcinoma with eosinophilia. Thus, BRAF inhibitors may prove to be a useful targeted medical therapy in the treatment of a subset of patients with aggressive sclerosing mucoepidermoid carcinoma with eosinophilia tumors who exhibit BRAF activating mutation.
