RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Mitotane is an important cornerstone in the treatment of pediatric adrenal cortical tumors (pACC), but experience with the drug in the pediatric age group is still limited and current practice is not guided by robust evidence. Therefore, we have compiled international consensus statements from pACC experts on mitotane indications, therapy, and management of adverse effects. METHODS: A Delphi method with 3 rounds of questionnaires within the pACC expert consortium of the international network groups European Network for the Study of Adrenal Tumors pediatric working group (ENSAT-PACT) and International Consortium of pediatric adrenocortical tumors (ICPACT) was used to create 21 final consensus statements. RESULTS: We divided the statements into 4 groups: environment, indications, therapy, and adverse effects. We reached a clear consensus for mitotane treatment for advanced pACC with stages III and IV and with incomplete resection/tumor spillage. For stage II patients, mitotane is not generally indicated. The timing of initiating mitotane therapy depends on the clinical condition of the patient and the setting of the planned therapy. We recommend a starting dose of 50 mg/kg/d (1500 mg/m²/d) which can be increased up to 4000 mg/m2/d. Blood levels should range between 14 and 20 mg/L. Duration of mitotane treatment depends on the clinical risk profile and tolerability. Mitotane treatment causes adrenal insufficiency in virtually all patients requiring glucocorticoid replacement shortly after beginning. As the spectrum of adverse effects of mitotane is wide-ranging and can be life-threatening, frequent clinical and neurological examinations (every 2-4 weeks), along with evaluation and assessment of laboratory values, are required. CONCLUSIONS: The Delphi method enabled us to propose an expert consensus statement, which may guide clinicians, further adapted by local norms and the individual patient setting. In order to generate evidence, well-constructed studies should be the focus of future efforts.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Evaluating the benefits and risks of prolonged hormonal treatment with aromatase inhibitors (AIs) for treating hormone-dependent breast cancer. METHODS: A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted. Studies reporting on randomized clinical trials concerning prolongating hormonal therapy with AIs as compared to a placebo or no prolongation, after an initial five years of hormonal therapy, were eligible. RESULTS: Seven clinical trials were included. Prolonged AI therapy was associated with a statistically significant improvement in disease-free survival (RR=0.70, 95% CI 0.60 to 0.80). A statistically significant increase was observed for osteoporosis (RR=1.17, 95% CI 1.03 to 1.33), hot flushes/flashes (RR=1.27, 95% CI 1.08 to 1.49), myalgia (RR=1.23, 95% CI 1.09 to 1.39), fractures (RR=1.26, 95% CI 1.09 to 1.45) and arthralgia (RR=1.17, 95% CI 1.10 to 1.25). However, no statistically significant association was observed between prolonged AI therapy and overall survival, cardiovascular events, and bone pain. DISCUSSION: Prolonged AI therapy has significant benefits in terms of disease-free survival in women with hormone-dependent breast cancer. However, adverse effects and a lack of evidence for a benefit on overall survival must be considered in the decision-making process regarding adjuvant hormone therapy extension.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Real-word data on long-acting luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonists in Chinese patients with prostate cancer are limited. This study aimed to determine the real-world effectiveness and safety of the LHRH agonist, goserelin, particularly the long-acting 10.8-mg depot formulation, and the follow-up patterns among Chinese prostate cancer patients. METHODS: This was a multicenter, prospective, observational study in hormone treatment-naïve patients with localized or locally advanced prostate cancer who were prescribed goserelin 10.8-mg depot every 12 weeks or 3.6-mg depot every 4 weeks with or without an anti-androgen. The patients had follow-up evaluations for 26 weeks. The primary outcome was the effectiveness of goserelin in reducing serum testosterone and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels. The secondary outcomes included testosterone and PSA levels, attainment of chemical castration (serum testosterone <50 ng/dL), and goserelin safety. The exploratory outcome was the monitoring pattern for serum testosterone and PSA. All analyses were descriptive. RESULTS: Between September 2017 and December 2019, a total of 294 eligible patients received ≥ 1 dose of goserelin; 287 patients (97.6%) were treated with goserelin 10.8-mg depot. At week 24 ± 2, the changes from baseline [standard deviation (95% confidence interval)] in serum testosterone (n = 99) and PSA (n = 131) were -401.0 ng/dL [308.4 ng/dL (-462.5, -339.5 ng/dL)] and -35.4 ng/mL [104.4 ng/mL (-53.5, -17.4 ng/mL)], respectively. Of 112 evaluable patients, 100 (90.2%) achieved a serum testosterone level < 50 ng/dL. Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and severe TEAEs occurred in 37.1% and 10.2% of patients, respectively. The mean testing frequency (standard deviation) was 1.6 (1.5) for testosterone and 2.2 (1.6) for PSA. CONCLUSIONS: Goserelin 10.8-mg depot effectively achieved and maintained castration and was well-tolerated in Chinese patients with localized and locally advanced prostate cancer.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in Brazil and in many countries around the world. In order to minimize the risk of recurrence and death, adjuvant endocrine therapy (AET) is used in women whose tumors express hormone receptors; however, the therapy is associated with low rates of compliance. Therefore, we sought to evaluate the proportion of patients who are adherent/non-adherent to AET at the beginning of the therapy (1st year) and at its end (5th year). METHODS: Cross-sectional study assessing adherence through the Brief Medication Questionnaire. RESULTS: It was identified that eventual failures in maintaining the correct adherence to the treatment have risen from 23% of patients in the 1st year of treatment to 35% of patients in the 5th year (p = 0.005). In both groups, use of aromatase inhibitors, polypharmacy of at least 3 mediations and the previous diagnosis of diabetes mellitus (DM) or systemic arterial hypertension (SAH) have contributed to low adherence among patients. CONCLUSION: The proportion of patients who are not adherent to AET was high in both cohorts, and the rate of non-adherent patients rises over time. It is essential to incorporate screening methods for lack of compliance to AET, as well as measures to try to reduce non-persistence to the treatment, such as educating the patients on the benefits of the treatment, managing comorbidities through lifestyle changes and, therefore, reducing polypharmacy and, above all, detecting and treating very early the adverse effects of AET that might interfere with its correct use.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Adjuvant endocrine therapy (AET) reduces breast cancer morbidity and mortality; however, adherence is suboptimal. Interventions exist, yet few have improved adherence. Patient characteristics may alter uptake of an intervention to boost adherence. We examined moderators of the effect of a virtual intervention (STRIDE; #NCT03837496) on AET adherence after breast cancer. METHODS: At a large academic medical center, patients taking AET (N = 100; Mage = 56.1, 91% White) were randomized to receive STRIDE versus medication monitoring. All stored their medication in digital pill bottles (MEMS Caps) which captured objective adherence. Participants self-reported adherence (Medication Adherence Report Scale) at 12 weeks post-baseline. Moderators included age, anxiety, and depressive symptoms (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale), AET-related symptom distress (Breast Cancer Prevention Trial Symptom Scale), and AET-specific concerns (Beliefs about Medications Questionnaire). We used hierarchical linear modeling (time × condition × moderator) and multiple regression (condition × moderator) to test the interaction effects on adherence. RESULTS: Age (B = 0.05, SE = 0.02, p = 0.003) and AET-related symptom distress (B = -0.04, SE = 0.02, p = 0.02) moderated condition effect on self-reported adherence while anxiety (B = -1.20, SE = 0.53, p = 0.03) and depressive symptoms (B = -1.65, SE = 0.65, p = 0.01) moderated objective adherence effects. AET-specific concerns approached significance (B = 0.91, SE = 0.57, p = 0.12). Participants who received STRIDE and were older or presented with lower anxiety and depressive symptoms or AET-related symptom distress exhibited improved adherence. Post hoc analyses revealed high correlations among most moderators. CONCLUSIONS: A subgroup of patients who received STRIDE exhibited improvements in AET adherence. The interrelatedness of moderators suggests an underlying profile of patients with lower symptom burden who benefitted most from the intervention. STUDY REGISTRATION: NCT03837496.

RESUMO

Pituitary apoplexy is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication of androgen deprivation therapy for prostate cancer. We present a case of a 70-year-old African American male with prostate cancer who developed symptoms of pituitary apoplexy, including hot flashes, nausea, vomiting, and cranial nerve III palsy, following the initiation of leuprolide therapy. Imaging revealed a pituitary adenoma with hemorrhage, and prompt multidisciplinary management was initiated. The patient was managed conservatively with improvement in symptoms. This case highlights the importance of recognizing the potential for pituitary apoplexy in patients receiving GnRH agonist therapy. We discuss the clinical presentation of GnRH agonist induced pituitary apoplexy, emphasizing that clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion and promptly investigate any new neuro- ophthalmic symptoms in this group of patients. Ultimately, prompt diagnosis and treatment are crucial to mitigate the severity of this complication in patients with prostate cancer undergoing androgen deprivation therapy.

RESUMO

To investigate the effects of tamoxifen (TAM) and toremifene (TOR) on hepatic function and serum lipid levels in breast cancer patients receiving adjuvant endocrine therapy. The clinical data of 597 early breast cancer patients treated at the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University between January 2016 and December 2022 were collected. All the patients received standard adjuvant endocrine therapy with TAM or TOR after chemotherapy. Hepatic function and serum lipid data of all patients before and at 6 months and 1, 2, and 3 years after the treatment were collected retrospectively and analyzed statistically. There: no negative effect on hepatic function was observed in patients treated with either TAM or TOR. The triglyceride levels in both groups increased during treatment, and the effect of TAM on improving total cholesterol levels was stronger. Total cholesterol levels were not affected by time or treatment regimen. The low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels decreased in both groups, and the effect was similar between groups. TAM can decrease the high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, whereas TOR can increase the high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, and there was a significant difference between groups. In the postoperative adjuvant endocrine therapy, TOR and TAM will not negatively impact the hepatic function of breast cancer patients, and TOR is better than TAM in the management of serum lipids; therefore, it may be a better choice for clinical medication.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Extension of adjuvant endocrine therapy beyond five years confers only modest survival benefit in breast cancer patients and carries risk of toxicities. This systematic review investigates the role of biomarker tests in predicting the clinical response to an extension of endocrine therapy. METHODS: We searched Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid Embase, Global Index Medicus, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials using an iterative approach to identify full-text articles related to breast cancer, endocrine therapy, and biomarkers. RESULTS: Of the 1,217 unique reports identified, five studies were deemed eligible. Four investigated the Breast Cancer Index (BCI) assay in three distinct study populations. These studies consistently showed that BCI score was predictive of response to extended endocrine therapy among 1,946 combined patients, who were predominately non-Hispanic white and postmenopausal. CONCLUSIONS: Evidence in the setting of predictive tests for extended endocrine therapy is sparse. Most relevant studies investigated the use of BCI, but these study populations were largely restricted to a single age, race, and ethnicity group. Future studies should evaluate a variety of biomarkers in diverse populations. Without sufficient evidence, physicians and patients face a difficult decision in balancing the benefits and risks of endocrine therapy extension.

RESUMO

AIM: Medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) is one of the treatments of atypical endometrial hyperplasia (AEH) and endometrial cancer (EC) to preserve the fertility. Efficacy of MPA therapy and fertility and obstetric outcomes after remission were evaluated in EC or AEH patients. METHODS: Among patients diagnosed with EC or AEH at Tokushima University Hospital between January 2002 and October 2020, we retrospectively analyzed patients, ages range from 26 to 40, who underwent conservative management using MPA (400-600 mg/day). RESULTS: In total, 19 patients underwent MPA therapy. The 18 (94%) patients achieved complete response (CR), and 1 (5%) patient achieved partial response (PR). Relapse occurred in 6 (32%) patients who had achieved CR. Of the patients who relapsed, 4 patients resumed MPA therapy and were in remission. Among 19 patients, 13 patients attempted pregnancy after CR. All of them underwent ovulation induction or assisted reproductive technology. As a result, 20 pregnancies in 10 (77%) patients and 12 live births in 9 (69%) patients were achieved. Rate of spontaneous abortion was 35% (7/20). CONCLUSIONS: MPA therapy can produce a high remission rate, and be considered an effective treatment for patients who wish fertility preservation. Around 70% patients who attempt to pregnancy can have at least one baby by infertility treatments. Because recurrence rate after MPA therapy is high, it may be desirable to aim for early pregnancy by active intervention.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Adjuvant endocrine therapy (AET) is commonly recommended for non-metastatic breast cancer survivors. However, the side-effects associated with AET can have a negative impact on survivors' functional status and quality of life. Understanding the factors influencing adherence to AET is crucial in improving its utilization among female breast cancer survivors. CONCLUSIONS: This literature review critically evaluated 15 articles to explore the experiences of female breast cancer survivors in adhering to and persisting with AET. The findings highlight that while AET can cause drug side-effects, the involvement of healthcare professionals (HCP) plays a significant role in facilitating better use of AET. Unfortunately, many HCP fail to discuss vital information related to AET or provide guidance on managing side-effects and daily medication. Consequently, survivors often lack guidance in these areas. Despite experiencing discomfort, survivors maintain a positive attitude towards using AET and employ self-management strategies and social networks to overcome barriers. The impact of HCP on AET adherence among female breast cancer survivors is substantial. Future research should focus on understanding perspectives that promote HCP involvement, which will inform practical intervention strategies in clinical practice.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Adjuvant endocrine therapy (AET) is pivotal for hormone receptor-positive breast cancer patients, significantly enhancing survival rates. Yet, adherence to AET remains challenging due to side effects. This study delves into the lived experience of breast cancer survivors concerning AET-induced side effects and examines differences in symptom profiles between Tamoxifen and aromatase inhibitors (AIs). METHODS: We interviewed 35 breast cancer survivors on AET, conducting qualitative iterative analysis using grounded theory. A codebook was developed to aid data coding and interpretation. NVIVO software facilitated comprehensive transcript analysis. RESULTS: Survivors reported a spectrum of side effects like hot flashes, sexual issues, joint pain, stiffness, mood swings, and fertility concerns. Symptom profiles differed based on AET type. Tamoxifen users experienced more frequent sexual side effects and mood swings, while AIs were linked to joint pain, stiffness, and bone health worries. Those on AET for over 6 months expressed heightened concerns about side effects. CONCLUSION: Tailored patient education, aligned with AET type, empowers survivors to manage side effects using self-regulatory strategies. Acknowledging distinct symptom profiles enables informed decisions, improving adherence and quality of life. IMPLICATIONS: This study underscores tailored survivorship support, equipping patients with tools to manage side effects, enhancing adherence, and long-term outcomes. The findings inform the integration of comprehensive survivorship programs, emphasizing individualized strategies for managing side effects and promoting better adherence and improved quality of life.

RESUMO

Antibody–drug conjugates consist of a monoclonal antibody attached to a cytotoxic therapeutic molecule by a connector. This association allows a highly specific therapy, which increases their effectiveness and decreases their potential toxicity. This new therapy emerged approximately 20 years ago; since then, numerous combinations have appeared in the field of treatment-related neoplasms as an alternative for patients who do not achieve good results with conventional treatment options. Adverse effects of these drugs on the ocular surface are frequent and varied. Their prevalence ranges from 20 to 90% depending on the drug and administration condition, probably due to multiple receptor-mediated factors or mechanisms not mediated by specific receptors, such as macropinocytosis. These adverse events can greatly limit patients’ comfort; thus, the objectives of this article were, in the first place, to compile the information currently available on different types of adverse effects of antibody–drug conjugates on the ocular surface, including pathophysiology, prevalence, and treatment, and in second place, to contribute to the correct identification and management of these events, which will result in a lower rate of cessation of treatment, which is necessary for the survival of candidate patients (AU)

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Relugolix, an oral gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor antagonist, demonstrated testosterone suppression to castrate levels in men with advanced prostate cancer (PCa) in the HERO study. Since advanced PCa and its treatments can impact patients' daily life, it is imperative to understand the impact of systemic therapy on patient health-related quality of life (HRQOL). OBJECTIVE: To report the HRQOL for patients on relugolix compared with those on leuprolide in on-treatment and testosterone recovery periods of the HERO study. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: A phase 3 randomized controlled study was conducted in 934 patients with advanced PCa. INTERVENTION: Patients underwent 2:1 randomization and received relugolix 120 mg orally once daily or leuprolide 3-mo injections for 48 wk. Testosterone recovery was evaluated in a patient subset. OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: HRQOL evaluations were based on the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30) and the Prostate Cancer Module (EORTC QLQ-PR25) during treatment and testosterone recovery phases. In a post hoc analysis, predictors of HRQOL deterioration were evaluated. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS: No statistically significant differences between the two groups were found in changes from baseline to the end of treatment in either the EORTC QLQ-C30 or the EORTC QLQ-PR25 instrument. During the testosterone recovery phase, hormonal treatment-related symptoms scores were lower for relugolix than for leuprolide, suggesting a lower burden of hormone-related symptoms associated with a treatment that has more rapid testosterone recovery after treatment cessation. Limitations include low patient numbers in the testosterone recovery group. CONCLUSIONS: Oral relugolix is a therapeutic option with similar patient-reported HRQOL to leuprolide, providing an oral option for androgen deprivation therapy associated with a more rapid testosterone reduction. PATIENT SUMMARY: In men with advanced prostate cancer, relugolix had similar health-related quality of life to leuprolide.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Cardiovascular (CV) events are the leading cause of death in prostate cancer. Men with prostate cancer are likely to have CV risk factors and use CV-related concomitant medications. In the phase 3 HERO study, a 54% lower incidence of major adverse cardiac events was reported in men treated with the oral gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) receptor antagonist, relugolix, vs leuprolide. Herein, we characterize the impact of concomitant CV therapies on efficacy and safety in the HERO study. METHODS: In HERO, 930 men with advanced prostate cancer (APC) were randomized 2:1 and treated with relugolix (120 mg orally once daily; after single 360 mg loading dose) or leuprolide (injections every 3 months) for 48 weeks. Subgroups analyzed included men who received antihypertensives, antithrombotics, or lipid-modifying therapies (LMAs), as well as the most common drug classes (> 10%) and single most common agent within each class. Assessments included sustained testosterone suppression to castrate levels (< 50 ng/dL) through 48 weeks and safety. RESULTS: Antihypertensives, antithrombotics, and LMAs were utilized by 52.7%, 39.1%, and 39.6% of men in HERO, respectively. In the main subgroups, point estimates for sustained castration rates were generally consistent with overall estimates of relugolix and leuprolide observed in the overall population. Sustained castration rates were also mostly consistent for men taking the most common drug classes and individual agents in each class (losartan [n = 103]: relugolix, 95.4% vs leuprolide, 80.6%; amlodipine [n = 229]: 97.2% vs 85.5%; metoprolol [n = 88]: 95.7% vs 86.9%; acetylsalicylic acid [n = 259]: 97.0% vs 92.1%; clopidogrel [n = 43]: 96.4% vs 86.7%; simvastatin [n = 78]: 98.0% vs 87.3%). Incidence and types of adverse events (AEs) among men who received these medications were mostly consistent with overall population results, with some increases in grade ≥ 3 and fatal AEs. CONCLUSION: Relugolix suppressed testosterone and was generally well tolerated when given with concomitant CV agents. TRIAL REGISTRATION: Clinical Trial ID NCT03085095.

RESUMO

Endocrine therapy is one of the standard adjuvant treatments to reduce the risk of recurrence and mortality in patients with hormone receptor positive early breast cancer. Despite its proven efficacy, ET side effects, which persist over time even if low grade, may deteriorate quality of life. During follow-up visits, emphasis is generally placed on the risk of disease recurrence, while the topic of ET side effects is commonly neglected and discussed only briefly. This could lead to poor adherence to therapy and early treatment discontinuation, resulting in worse survival outcomes. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of the available evidence on the incidence and reporting of ET-related side effects (including vasomotor symptoms, musculoskeletal disorders and genitourinary syndrome of menopause, as well as fatigue, psychological and ocular disorders, dysmetabolic effects and loss of bone density) and of the pharmacological and non-pharmacological strategies available to mitigate symptom burden.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To determine the updated long-term outcomes of the Addition of Ovarian Suppression to Tamoxifen in Young Women With Hormone-Sensitive Breast Cancer Who Remain Premenopausal or Regain Vaginal Bleeding After Chemotherapy (ASTRRA) trial. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This study is a post-trial follow-up of the ASTRRA trial, involving 1,483 premenopausal women younger than 45 years treated with definitive surgery after completing adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy for estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer. Patients were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to complete 5 years of tamoxifen (TAM) alone (TAM-only) or 5 years of TAM with ovarian function suppression (OFS) for 2 years (TAM + OFS). The primary end point was disease-free survival (DFS), and the secondary end point was overall survival (OS). RESULTS: At 106.4 months of median follow-up, there was a continuous significant reduction in the DFS event rate in the TAM + OFS group. The 8-year DFS rate was 85.4% in the TAM + OFS group and 80.2% in the TAM-only group (hazard ratio [HR], 0.67; 95% CI, 0.51 to 0.87). There were no significant differences in OS between the two groups. The OS rate was 96.5% in the TAM + OFS group and 95.3% in the TAM-only group (HR, 0.78; 95% CI, 0.49 to 1.25). CONCLUSION: Adding OFS for 2 years to adjuvant TAM with a longer follow-up resulted in consistent DFS benefits, suggesting that adding OFS to TAM should be considered for patients who remain in a premenopausal state or resume ovarian function after chemotherapy.
