RESUMO

PURPOSE: Integrative medicine (IM) has received the American Society of Clinical Oncology's endorsement for managing cancer treatment-related side effects. Little is known about racial differences in familiarity, interest, and use of IM among patients with breast cancer. METHODS: Patients with breast cancer enrolled in the Chicago Multiethnic Epidemiologic Breast Cancer Cohort were surveyed regarding familiarity, interest, and use of acupuncture, massage, meditation, music therapy, and yoga. Familiarity and interest, measured by a 5-point Likert scale, was modeled using proportional odds. Use was self-reported, and modeled using binary logistic regression. RESULTS: Of 1,300 respondents (71.4% White and 21.9% Black), Black patients were less likely than White patients to be familiar with acupuncture (aOR 0.60, 95% CI 0.41-0.87); there were no racial differences in familiarity with massage, meditation, music therapy, and yoga. While there were no differences in interest in acupuncture between Black and White patients (aOR 1.12, 95% CI 0.76-1.65), Black patients were more interested in massage (aOR 1.86, 95% CI 1.25-2.77), meditation (aOR 2.03, 95% CI 1.37-3.00), music therapy (aOR 2.68, 95% CI 1.80-3.99), and yoga (aOR 2.10, 95% CI 1.41-3.12). Black patients were less likely than White patients to have used acupuncture (aOR 0.49, 95% CI 0.29-0.84); but there were no racial differences in use of massage, meditation, music therapy, and yoga. CONCLUSION: Black patients expressed more interest in IM than their White counterparts; there were no racial differences in IM use, except lower acupuncture use among Black patients. A breast program focused on equity should provide access to these services for patients with breast cancer.

RESUMO

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) increases rates of successful breast-conserving surgery (BCS) in patients with breast cancer. However, some studies suggest that BCS after NAC may confer an increased risk of locoregional recurrence (LRR). We assessed LRR rates and locoregional recurrence-free survival (LRFS) in patients enrolled on I-SPY2 (NCT01042379), a prospective NAC trial for patients with clinical stage II to III, molecularly high-risk breast cancer. Cox proportional hazards models were used to evaluate associations between surgical procedure (BCS vs mastectomy) and LRFS adjusted for age, tumor receptor subtype, clinical T category, clinical nodal status, and residual cancer burden (RCB). In 1462 patients, surgical procedure was not associated with LRR or LRFS on either univariate or multivariate analysis. The unadjusted incidence of LRR was 5.4% after BCS and 7.0% after mastectomy, at a median follow-up time of 3.5 years. The strongest predictor of LRR was RCB class, with each increasing RCB class having a significantly higher hazard ratio for LRR compared with RCB 0 on multivariate analysis. Triple-negative receptor subtype was also associated with an increased risk of LRR (hazard ratio: 2.91, 95% CI: 1.8-4.6, P < 0.0001), regardless of the type of operation. In this large multi-institutional prospective trial of patients completing NAC, we found no increased risk of LRR or differences in LRFS after BCS compared with mastectomy. Tumor receptor subtype and extent of residual disease after NAC were significantly associated with recurrence. These data demonstrate that BCS can be an excellent surgical option after NAC for appropriately selected patients.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: There are a paucity of data and a pressing need to evaluate response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) and determine long-term outcomes in young Black women with early-stage breast cancer (EBC). METHODS: We analyzed data from 2196 Black and White women with EBC treated at the University of Chicago over the last 2 decades. Patients were divided into groups based on race and age at diagnosis: Black women [Formula: see text] 40 years, White women [Formula: see text] 40 years, Black women [Formula: see text] 55 years, and White women [Formula: see text] 55 years. Pathological complete response rate (pCR) was analyzed using logistic regression. Overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were analyzed using Cox proportional hazard and piecewise Cox models. RESULTS: Young Black women had the highest risk of recurrence, which was 22% higher than young White women (p = 0.434) and 76% higher than older Black women (p = 0.008). These age/racial differences in recurrence rates were not statistically significant after adjusting for subtype, stage, and grade. In terms of OS, older Black women had the worst outcome. In the 397 women receiving NACT, 47.5% of young White women achieved pCR, compared to 26.8% of young Black women (p = 0.012). CONCLUSIONS: Black women with EBC had significantly worse outcomes compared to White women in our cohort study. There is an urgent need to understand the disparities in outcomes between Black and White breast cancer patients, particularly in young women where the disparity in outcome is the greatest.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Axillary surgery after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is becoming less extensive. We evaluated the evolution of axillary surgery after NAC on the multi-institutional I-SPY2 prospective trial. METHODS: We examined annual rates of sentinel lymph node (SLN) surgery with resection of clipped node, if present), axillary lymph node dissection (ALND), and SLN and ALND in patients enrolled in I-SPY2 from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2021 by clinical N status at diagnosis and pathologic N status at surgery. Cochran-Armitage trend tests were calculated to evaluate patterns over time. RESULTS: Of 1578 patients, 973 patients (61.7%) had SLN-only, 136 (8.6%) had SLN and ALND, and 469 (29.7%) had ALND-only. In the cN0 group, ALND-only decreased from 20% in 2011 to 6.25% in 2021 (p = 0.0078) and SLN-only increased from 70.0% to 87.5% (p = 0.0020). This was even more striking in patients with clinically node-positive (cN+) disease at diagnosis, where ALND-only decreased from 70.7% to 29.4% (p < 0.0001) and SLN-only significantly increased from 14.6% to 56.5% (p < 0.0001). This change was significant across subtypes (HR-/HER2-, HR+/HER2-, and HER2+). Among pathologically node-positive (pN+) patients after NAC (n = 525) ALND-only decreased from 69.0% to 39.2% (p < 0.0001) and SLN-only increased from 6.9% to 39.2% (p < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS: Use of ALND after NAC has significantly decreased over the past decade. This is most pronounced in cN+ disease at diagnosis with an increase in the use of SLN surgery after NAC. Additionally, in pN+ disease after NAC, there has been a decrease in use of completion ALND, a practice pattern change that precedes results from clinical trials.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Integrative therapies reduce side effects from cancer treatment, though remain underutilized. There is a paucity of data on factors associated with familiarity, interest, and use of these therapies among breast cancer patients. METHODS: A survey on familiarity, interest, and use of acupuncture, massage, meditation, music therapy, and yoga was conducted in patients enrolled in the Chicago Multiethnic Epidemiologic Breast Cancer Cohort. Familiarity and interest were assessed using a five-point Likert scale, and modeled using proportional odds regression. Use was per self-report, modeled using logistic regression. Adjusted odds ratios (aOR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were calculated. RESULTS: Of 1300 study participants, 59.6% were familiar with massage, 47.2% acupuncture, 46.9% meditation, 46.5% yoga, and 34.5% music therapy; 63.3% were interested in massage, 50.2% yoga, 47.9% meditation, 44.2% acupuncture, and 41.4% music therapy. Only 41.3% had used massage, 25.8% acupuncture, 18.7% yoga, 18.5% meditation, and 7.4% music therapy. Older age and lower education level were associated with lower familiarity and interest. Black patients were more likely than White patients to be interested. Patients' interest increased significantly when certain symptoms were treated. In the adjusted models, patients ages 40 to 65 were less likely than those ages <40 to have used massage (aOR 0.55, 95% CI: 0.31-0.98), yoga (aOR 0.52, 95% CI: 0.27-0.99), or meditation (aOR 0.47, 95% CI: 0.25-0.90). Patients with high school education were less likely than those with a graduate degree to have used acupuncture (aOR 0.42, 95% CI: 0.24-0.72), massage (aOR 0.39, 95% CI: 0.25-0.62), or meditation (aOR 0.26, 95% CI: 0.12-0.58). Having received chemotherapy was associated with increased interest in yoga (aOR 1.36, 95% CI: 1.07-1.73), massage (aOR 1.27, 95% CI: 1.01-1.59), or meditation (aOR 1.26, 95% CI: 1.01-1.57). Receipt of hormone therapy was not associated with interest or use. CONCLUSION: In this racially diverse cohort of patients, familiarity and interest of integrative therapies were high, while use was low. Older age and lower education level were associated with lack of interest and use. Chemotherapy was associated with interest, but hormone therapy was not. Strategies to promote the benefits and use of integrative therapies among breast cancer patients are needed.

RESUMO

The treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) has dramatically changed over the past three decades. However, relapsed and/or refractory ALL still remains with a very low survival and high morbidity associated with its treatment. Here, we will review the outstanding progress that has been made in the treatment of relapsed and/or refractory ALL and discuss future directions and challenges that require further investigation.

RESUMO

Purpose: We sought to understand clinician-level barriers to providing HPV vaccination to survivors of childhood and young adult cancers (CYACs). Methods: We conducted 30-minute qualitative interviews with primary care and specialty clinicians who care for survivors of CYACs at our academic medical center. Blinded reviewers analyzed transcripts and used an inductive approach to identify barriers to vaccination in this population. Results: We conducted 24 interviews (n = 11 primary care clinicians, n = 13 oncology clinicians). Thematic analysis revealed that primary care clinicians are universally viewed as holding ultimate responsibility for human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination among survivors of CYACs. Both primary care and oncology clinicians believed vague, inconsistent HPV guidelines engendered uncertainty toward HPV vaccination's role and timing following completion of CYAC therapies. As such, compared with other vaccines, the HPV vaccination is not as consistently offered to survivors. Respondents identified direct guidance from oncologists to primary care clinicians and to patients as a potential strategy for improving HPV vaccination rates in this population. Finally, oncology clinicians frequently deprioritize the issue of preventing second, noniatrogenic cancers and consequently miss opportunities to discuss vaccination's merits with their patients. Conclusions: Despite not holding ultimate responsibility for vaccination, oncology clinicians have an opportunity to play an important role in ensuring access and overcoming hesitancy among survivors of CYACs. Developing clearer and more collaborative guidelines, helping to integrate vaccination into institutional electronic health record protocols, offering direct guidance to primary care colleagues, and participating in conversations with survivors of CYACs may help improve vaccination rates.
