RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Single-dose intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) is an emerging treatment for women with early stage breast cancer. The objective of this study was to define the frequency of IORT use, patient selection, and outcomes of patients treated in North America. METHODS: A multi-institutional retrospective registry was created, and 19 institutions using low-kilovoltage IORT for the treatment of breast cancer entered data on patients treated at their institution before July 31, 2013. Patient selection, IORT treatment details, complications, and recurrences were analyzed. RESULTS: From 2007 to July 31, 2013, a total of 935 women were identified and treated with lumpectomy and IORT. A total of 822 patients had at least 6 months' follow-up documented and were included in the analysis. The number of IORT cases performed increased significantly over time (p < 0.001). The median patient age was 66.8 years. Most patients had disease that was <2 cm in size (90 %) and was estrogen positive (91 %); most patients had invasive ductal cancer (68 %). Of those who had a sentinel lymph node procedure performed, 89 % had negative sentinel lymph nodes. The types of IORT performed were primary IORT in 79 %, secondary IORT in 7 %, or planned boost in 14 %. Complications were low. At a median follow-up of 23.3 months, crude in-breast recurrence was 2.3 % for all patients treated. CONCLUSIONS: IORT use for the treatment of breast cancer is significantly increasing in North America, and physicians are selecting low-risk patients for this treatment option. Low complication and local recurrence rates support IORT as a treatment option for selected women with early stage breast cancer.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a rare subtype of breast malignancy. METHODS: Patients with ACC and infiltrating ductal carcinoma (IDC) reported to the National Cancer Data Base from 1998 to 2008 were reviewed for patient age, ethnicity, tumor size, nodal status, American Joint Committee on Cancer TNM Stage, tumor grade, initial treatment, hormone receptor status (for patients from 2004 to 2008), and survival (for patients from 1998 to 2003). RESULTS: A total of 933 patients with ACC and 729,938 with IDC were identified. No differences were found for incidence by race/ethnicity (p = 0.97). The group with ACC was older (median 60 vs. 58 years), had larger tumors (median 18 vs. 16 mm), had more grade 1 tumors (46 vs. 18 %), was less likely to undergo axillary lymph node evaluation (75.9 vs. 96.3 %), had fewer node-positive patients (5.1 vs. 35.5 %), had fewer estrogen receptor-positive tumors (15.4 vs. 75.6 %), had fewer progesterone receptor-positive tumors (13.3 vs. 65.2 %), and underwent breast-conserving surgery more often (69.8 vs. 59.8 %). Chemotherapy was provided less often for ACC (11.3 vs. 46.4 %), as was hormone therapy (9.1 vs. 42.3 %). All of these differences were statistically significant (p < 0.0001). With a median follow-up of 65.7 months (ACC) and 64.9 months (IDC), 5-year overall survival (OS) was 88 % for ACC vs. 84 % for IDC (p = 0.02). Grade 1 OS (ACC, 91 % vs. IDC, 92 %; p = 0.50) and stage I OS (ACC, 90 % vs. IDC, 91 %; p = 0.93) were equal. CONCLUSIONS: Compared with IDC, ACC has different characteristics (lower grade, hormone receptor negative, node negative), is treated differently (less axillary surgery, fewer mastectomies, less chemotherapy, less hormone therapy), and has an improved prognosis, with 88 % 5-year survival.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: To examine gender-specific differences in breast cancer utilizing the National Cancer Data Base (NCDB). METHODS: Breast cancer patients entered in the NCDB from 1998 through 2007 were compared by gender for demographics, tumor characteristics, treatment, and outcomes. RESULTS: A total of 13,457 men were compared to 1,439,866 women. Men were older, more often African American, less often Hispanic, had larger tumors, less often had low-grade disease, less often had stage 0 or I disease, and were more likely to have metastases to lymph nodes and/or distantly. Cancers in men were less likely lobular and more likely estrogen receptor and/or progesterone receptor positive. Men were more likely to have total mastectomy and less likely to receive radiotherapy. There was no difference in chemotherapy and little difference in hormone therapy rates. Differences in overall survival (OS) were highly significant (p < 0.0001): 83 % 5-year OS for women with breast cancer (median survival 129 months) versus 74 % for men (median survival 101 months). Women had better 5-year OS (p < 0.0001) for stage 0 (94 vs. 90 %), stage I (90 vs. 87 %), and stage II (82 vs. 74 %) breast cancer. There were no differences in 5-year OS for stage III (56.9 vs. 56.5 %, p = 0.99) or stage IV (19 vs. 16 %, p = 0.20) disease. CONCLUSIONS: At first glance, this large study demonstrated numerous gender-specific differences. However, after accounting for differences in presentation, absence of data on disease-specific survival, and inherent deficiencies in reporting cancer registry data, breast cancer in men and women appears more alike than different.

RESUMEN

HYPOTHESIS: Body weight correlates with risk of breast cancer death. DESIGN: A retrospective cohort study using patient medical records, electronic cancer registry data, and archived tissue specimens. SETTING: A 395-bed, comprehensive community hospital. PATIENTS: One thousand three hundred seventy-six women, aged 24 to 81 years, who were diagnosed with breast cancer between January 1, 1988, and December 31, 1995, and for whom complete medical records and adequate tissue specimens existed. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Body weight at the time of diagnosis and patient status (ie, alive and free of breast cancer, living with breast cancer, dead of breast cancer, or dead of other cause) at the time of longest follow-up. Additional data collected, including age at diagnosis, menopausal status, tumor size, tumor grade, lymph node status, stage at diagnosis, race, estrogen-receptor (ER) status, and treatment information, were used to create multivariate Cox proportional hazards models to estimate hazard rate (HR) ratios and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for breast cancer death. We collected ER status from the patients' medical records, when available, and supplemented the information by using immunohistochemical techniques to determine ER status from archived paraffin-embedded tumor blocks. RESULTS: Patients were followed up for a median of 6.8 years after diagnosis. Two hundred forty-six patients died from breast cancer. Among patients with early-stage disease (I and IIA), we observed a dose-response relationship of increasing weight with increasing likelihood of dying of breast cancer. Compared with women in the lowest category of weight (< 133 lb [60 kg] at diagnosis), women in the highest category (> or = 175 lb [79 kg]) experienced a 2.5-fold increased risk of dying from breast cancer (HR ratio, 2.54 [95% CI, 1.08-6.00]; trend P = .02). Women with ER-negative cancer experienced an approximately 2-fold higher risk of dying from breast cancer compared with women with ER-positive cancer, regardless of stage at diagnosis. Women in the upper 50th percentile of weight with early-stage disease and with ER-negative tumors had a nearly 5-fold increased risk of dying (HR ratio, 4.99 [95% CI, 2.17-11.48]; P for interaction = .10) compared with women in the lower 50th percentile of weight and ER-positive tumors. The results were similar for body mass index, a measure of obesity in which weight is adjusted for height. CONCLUSION: Body weight at diagnosis and ER status are important predictors of breast cancer death in early-stage disease.

RESUMEN

Mammographic screening is a proven method for reducing breast cancer mortality for women 40 years of age and older, but the best method for implementation of mammographic screening, particularly in the age group 40-49, remains controversial. The author, in an invited review, summarizes the data and offers guidance based on the best information available for women at risk for breast cancer, and their care providers, with particular emphasis on costs and benefits.
