Prev Med Rep 2023; 36:102504. [PMID: 38116255 PMCID: PMC10728444 DOI: 10.1016/j.pmedr.2023.102504] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2023] [Revised: 11/06/2023] [Accepted: 11/07/2023] [Indexed: 12/21/2023] Open
Abstract
To explore the characteristics, influencing factors, and effect of different treatments on the survival in patients with first primary cervical cancer (CC) and second primary CC. Data of 33,934 eligible patients with CC were extracted from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database in 2004-2015. We also included 176 patients with CC from the Affiliated Dongyang Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard models were used to screen the potential influencing factors associated with the survival in patients with hazard ratios (HRs) and 95 % confidence intervals (CIs). Subgroup analyses of age, American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) stages, tumor grades and histologic types were conducted to explore the association between different treatments and survival in different populations. The 5-year mortality was 43.08 % for patients with first primary CC and that was 58.13 % for patients with second primary CC. We found that the relationships between age, histologic type, tumor grade, tumor size, AJCC tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) stage, surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and the first primary CC and second primary CC were different (all P < 0.05). Additionally, the results of subgroup analyses indicated that the choice of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy should be adjusted according to the different health conditions of the patients. In conclusion, the causal relationship between characteristics, influencing factors, and treatments and survival in patients with primary CC diagnosed as different time periods are needed further exploration.

Abstract
PURPOSE Uterine cancer risk is high in breast cancer survivors. Although breast cancer and uterine cancer share some common epidemiological risk factors, association of metabolic syndrome with incident uterine cancer in breast cancer survivors is under-studied. We evaluated the association of metabolic syndrome conditions with second primary uterine cancer in breast cancer survivors. METHODS In this retrospective cohort study, 37,303 breast cancer patients diagnosed between 2008 and 2020 at Kaiser Permanente Southern California, an integrated healthcare system, were included. Data on cancer-related variables, sociodemographic, and clinical variables were extracted from KPSC's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER)-affiliated cancer registry and electronic health records, as appropriate. Patients were followed from breast cancer diagnosis until 12/31/2021 for incident uterine cancer. Proportional hazards regression was used to report association [HR (95% CI)] between metabolic conditions and uterine cancer. RESULTS More than half (53.1%) of the breast cancer survivors had 1-2 metabolic conditions; 19.4% had 3 + , while 27. 5% had no metabolic conditions. Median time to follow-up was 5.33 years and 185 (0.5%) patients developed second primary uterine cancer. Obesity was associated with an elevated uterine cancer risk in the adjusted model [HR (95% CI) 1.64 (1.20-2.25)]. Having 1-2 metabolic conditions (versus none) was not associated with increased uterine cancer risk [adjusted HR (95% CI) 1.24 (0.85-1.82)]; however, there was an increased uterine cancer risk with 3 + metabolic conditions [adjusted HR (95% CI) 1.82 (1.16-2.87)]. CONCLUSION Although not statistically significant, we found a trend demonstrating greater uterine cancer risk by increasing numbers of metabolic syndrome conditions in breast cancer survivors.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 234:116414. [PMID: 37390953 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.116414] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/01/2023] [Revised: 05/28/2023] [Accepted: 06/12/2023] [Indexed: 07/02/2023]
Abstract
Breast cancer is the leading reason of death among women aged 35 to 54. Breast cancer diagnosis still presents significant challenges, and preventing the disease's most severe symptoms requires early detection. The role of nanotechnology in the tumor-treatment has recently attracted a lot of interest. In cancer therapies, nanotechnology plays a major role in the medication distribution process. Nanoparticles have the ability to target tumors. Nanoparticles are favorable and maybe preferable for usage in tumor detection and imaging due to their incredibly small size. Quantum dots, semiconductor crystals with increased labeling and imaging capabilities for cancer cells, are one of the particles that have received the most research attention. The design of the research is cross-sectional and descriptive. From April through September of 2020, data were gathered at the State Hospital. All pregnant women who came to the hospital throughout the first and second trimesters of the research's data collection were included in the study population. 100 pregnant women between the ages of 20 and 40 who had not yet had a mammogram comprised the research sample. 1100 digitized mammography images are included in the dataset, which was obtained from a hospital. Convolutional neural networks (CNN) were used to scan all images, and breast masses and mass comparisons were made using the malignant-benign categorization. The adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) then examined all of the data obtained by CNN in order to identify breast cancer early using inputs based on the nine different inputs. The precision of the mechanism used in this technique to determine the ideal radius value is significantly impacted by the radius value. Nine variables that define breast cancer indicators were utilized as inputs to the ANFIS classifier, which was then used to identify breast cancer. The parameters were given the necessary fuzzy functions, and the combined dataset was applied to train the method. Testing was initially performed by 30% of dataset that was later done with the real data obtained from the hospital. The accuracy of the results for 30% data was 84% (specificity =72.7%, sensitivity =86.7%) and the results for the real data was 89.8% (sensitivity =82.3%, specificity =75.9%), respectively.

Abstract
PURPOSE Workforce shortages will impact oncologists' ability to provide both active and survivorship care. While primary care provider (PCP) or survivorship clinic transition has been emphasized, there is little evidence regarding patient comfort. METHODS We developed an online survey in partnership with patient advocates to assess survivors' comfort with PCP or survivorship clinic care and distributed the survey to online, cancer-specific patient communities from June to August 2020. Descriptive and logistic regression analyses were conducted. RESULTS A total of 975 surveys were complete. Most respondents were women (91%) and had private insurance (65%). Thirty-six cancer types were reported. Ninety-three percent had a PCP. Twenty-four percent were comfortable seeing a PCP for survivorship care. Higher odds of comfort were seen among respondents who were Black or had stage 0 cancer; female sex was associated with lower odds. Fifty-five percent were comfortable with a survivorship clinic. Higher odds of comfort were seen with lymphoma or ovarian cancer, > 15 years from diagnosis, and non-US government insurance. Lower odds were seen with melanoma, advanced stage, Medicaid insurance, and one late effect. Preference for PCP care was 87% for general health, 32% for recurrence monitoring, and 37% for late effect management. CONCLUSIONS One quarter of cancer survivors were comfortable with PCP-led survivorship care and about half with a survivorship clinic. Most preferred oncologist care for recurrence monitoring and late-effect management. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS Patient preference and comfort should be considered when developing survivorship care models. Future efforts should focus on facilitating patient-centered transitions to non-oncologist care.

Abstract
Endometrial cancer (EC) is the seventh most common tumor in women, and prognosis of recurrent and metastatic disease is poor. Cervical cancer (CC) represents the fifth most common gynecological cancer. While ECs are more common in developed countries, the incidence of CC has decreased due to the recent implementation of large screening and vaccination programs. Until very recently, patients with advanced or unresectable EC or CC had very limited treatment options and were receiving in first line setting platinum/taxane-based chemotherapy (CT). Significant progress in the treatment of gynecological cancers has occurred in the last few years, with the use of innovative targeted therapies and immunotherapy. However, targeting the immune system in patients with gynecological tumors remains challenging and is not always successful. In ovarian cancer, several immunotherapy treatment regimens have been investigated (as monotherapy and combination therapy in first and subsequent lines of treatment) and showed poor responses. Therefore, we specifically focused our review on EC and CC for their specific immune-related features and therapeutic results demonstrated with immunotherapy. We report recent and current immunotherapy-based clinical trials and provide a review of emerging data that are likely to impact immunotherapy development based on increased biomarkers' identification to monitor response and overcome resistance.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION breast cancer is the cancer with the highest incidence in women in Brazil, representing 29.7% of all cancers. More than two thirds of women with breast cancer show expression for hormone receptors, and in these cases, hormone therapy with tamoxifen is indicated, which may represent a risk factor for the development of endometrial cancer (four-fold greater relative risk). OBJECTIVE this study aimed to evaluate the association of tamoxifen and the development of endometrial disturbances and to assess possible other associated risk factors. PATIENTS AND METHOD a total of 364 breast cancer patients were evaluated, 286 who used tamoxifen and 78 who did not use this hormone therapy. Results: patients who used tamoxifen had a mean follow-up time of 51.42 months similar to those without hormone therapy (p=0.081). A total of 21 (7.3%) women who used tamofixen and no cases among women without hormone therapy presented endometrial changes during follow-up (p=0.01). Despite information regarding obesity was available for only 270 women, obesity was also significantly associated with the development of endometrial changes (p=0.008). CONCLUSION furthermore, the association between tamofixen and endometrial changes remained significant (p=0.039) after adjusting for obesity.

Mais de dois terços das mulheres com câncer da mama apresentam expressão para receptores hormonais, estando, nestes casos, indicada a terapia hormonal com tamoxifeno, que pode representar fator de risco para o desenvolvimento do câncer do endométrio (risco relativo quatro vezes maior). Objetivo: este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a associação entre o uso de tamoxifeno e o desenvolvimento de distúrbios endometriais bem como eventuais outros fatores associados. Pacientes e método: Estudo de coorte retrospectivo de 364 pacientes com câncer da mama, das quais 286 utilizaram tamoxifeno e 78 não utilizaram esta hormonioterapia. Resultados: pacientes que usaram tamoxifeno tiveram um seguimento médio de 51,42 meses, semelhante àquelas sem terapia hormonal (p=0,081). Um total de 21 (7,3%) mulheres que usaram tamofixeno e nenhuma mulher sem terapia hormonal apresentaram alterações endometriais durante o seguimento (p=0,01). Nas 270 mulheres que tinham informação sobre obesidade, esta se associou significantemente com o desenvolvimento de alterações endometriais (p=0,008). A associação entre tamofixeno e alterações endometriais permaneceu significante (p=0,039) após ajustar para interação com obesidade. Conclusão: o uso de tamoxifeno no tratamento do câncer da mama esteve associado ao maior risco para desenvolvimento de alterações endometriais especialmente quando associado à obesidade.

Abstract
Mortality from cardiovascular disease (CVD), second tumours, and other causes is of clinical interest in the long-term follow-up of breast cancer (BC) patients. Using a cohort of BC patients (N = 6758) from the cancer registries of Girona and Tarragona (north-eastern Spain), we studied the 10-year probabilities of death due to BC, other cancers, and CVD according to stage at diagnosis and hormone receptor (HR) status. Among the non-BC causes of death (N = 720), CVD (N = 218) surpassed other cancers (N = 196). The BC cohort presented a significantly higher risk of death due to endometrial and ovarian cancers than the general population. In Stage I, HR- patients showed a 1.72-fold higher probability of all-cause death and a 6.11-fold higher probability of breast cancer death than HR+ patients. In Stages II-III, the probability of CVD death (range 3.11% to 3.86%) surpassed that of other cancers (range 0.54% to 3.11%). In Stage IV patients, the probability of death from any cancer drove the mortality risk. Promoting screening and preventive measures in BC patients are warranted, since long-term control should encompass early detection of second neoplasms, ruling out the possibility of late recurrence. In patients diagnosed in Stages II-III at an older age, surveillance for preventing late cardiotoxicity is crucial.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidents of second primary malignancy (SPM) is increasing among breast cancer (BC) patients with long-term progression, adversely affecting survival. The purpose of this study was to screen independent overall survival (OS) risk factors and establish nomograms to predict the survival probabilities of BC patients with SPM. METHOD A total of 163 BC patients with SPM were recruited during 2002-2015 from a total of 50 hospitals in Shanghai, China. Two nomograms to predict survival from primary BC and SPM diagnosis were constructed based on independent factors screened from multivariable analysis. The calibration and discrimination of nomograms were calculated in the training and validation cohorts. RESULTS The overall survival rates of BC patients with SPM were 88.34%, 64.42% and 54.66% at 5, 10 and 15 years, respectively. Factors of late TNM stage of SPM (HR = 4.68, 95% CI 2.14-10.25), surgery for SPM (HR = 0.60, 95% CI 0.36-1.00), SPM in the colon and rectum (HR = 0.49, 95% CI 0.25-0.98) and thyroid (HR = 0.08, 95% CI 0.01-0.61) independently affected the OS of BC patients with SPM (p < 0.05). In addition, a longer latency (≥ 5 years) was associated with better OS from BC diagnosis (p < 0.001). Older age (≥ 56) was associated with poor OS from SPM diagnosis (p = 0.019). Two nomograms established based on the above factors had better calibration and discrimination. CONCLUSION The TNM stage of SPM, surgery for SPM, SPM sites, latency and age at BC diagnosis are independent factors for survival and the two nomograms may provide more personalized management for BC patients with SPM.

Cancer Res 2022; 82:3201-3208. [PMID: 35834270 PMCID: PMC9481694 DOI: 10.1158/0008-5472.can-21-4461] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2022] [Revised: 05/24/2022] [Accepted: 07/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Women who have had breast cancer in the past are at increased risk of developing a second primary cancer (SPC), including second primary breast cancer (SPBC) or a second primary non-breast cancer (SPNBC). In the Multiethnic Cohort (MEC) Study, we conducted a prospective cohort analysis in 3,223 female breast cancer survivors from five racial/ethnic populations (White, African American, Japanese American, Latino, and Native Hawaiian) to assess the association of rare pathogenic variants (PV) in 37 known cancer predisposition genes with risk of SPC. A total of 719 (22.3%) women developed SPC, of which, 323 (10.0%) were SPBC. Germline PVs in BRCA1 (HR, 2.28; 95% CI, 1.11-4.65) and ERCC2 (HR, 3.51; 95% CI, 1.29-9.54) were significantly enriched in women with SPC. In the subtype analysis for SPBC, a significant association of ERCC2 PVs (HR, 5.09; 95% CI, 1.58-16.4) and a suggestive association of BRCA2 PVs (HR, 2.24; 95% CI, 0.91-5.55) were observed. There was also a higher risk of SPNBC in carriers of BRCA1 PVs (HR, 2.98; 95% CI, 1.21-7.36). These results provide evidence that germline PVs in BRCA1, BRCA2, and ERCC2 contribute to the development of SPC in breast cancer survivors. These findings also suggest that compromised DNA repair mechanisms could be a predisposition factor for SPC in patients with breast cancer, supporting the need for closer monitoring of SPC in women carrying PVs in these genes. SIGNIFICANCE This multiethnic study links germline pathogenic variants in BRCA1, BRCA2, and ERCC2 to the development of second primary cancer in breast cancer survivors, providing biological insights and biomarkers to guide patient monitoring.

Abstract
Introduction The growing number of women diagnosed with breast cancer (BCa) together with high survival has resulted in an increasing population of survivors at risk of subsequent primary cancers. This study aimed to estimate the long-term risk and survival of third primary cancers (TPCs) among females with a first primary BCa. Methods Breast first primary cancers (FPCs) from the Portuguese North Region Cancer Registry, diagnosed between 2000 and 2010 (n = 15,981), were followed for a TPC (December 31, 2015) and death from any cause (June 30, 2021). The cumulative incidence of and mortality among TPCs were estimated. To compare survival, female patients with a TPC were matched (1:1, by age group, years between FPC and second primary cancer [SPC] diagnosis, and SPC location) to FPC + SPC patients without a TPC. Results Overall, 67 (0.4% of FPCs and 5.4% of SPCs) TPCs were diagnosed. The most common TPC sites were digestive, breast, and female genital organs. Among all FPCs, the 15-year cumulative incidence (95% confidence interval [CI]) of a TPC was 0.69% (0.47-0.90%) and among SPCs, 7.21% (4.99-9.43%). The 15-year cumulative mortality of TPCs and matched patients was 70.0% and 51.5%, respectively. For TPCs, compared to matched SPC only patients, the age-adjusted hazard ratio (95% CI) for death was 2.86 (1.61-5.07). Discussion/Conclusion The most common TPC sites were digestive, breast, and female genital organs, with a 15-year cumulative incidence of 0.69% among FPCs. TPCs had a worse long-term survival compared to patients with an SPC only.

Abstract
The mammary gland is closely related to the female reproductive system in many aspects, affecting the whole gynecological system. Breast cancer (BC) is the most common malignancy in women and associated with considerable negative effects. Due to various factors including co-pathogenic genetic mutations, environment factors, lifestyle, behavioral factors, treatment regimens and in-creased survival of patients with BC, there is an increased probability of developing additional primary gynecologic cancers such as ovarian cancer (OC), endometrial cancer (EC), and cervical cancer (CC). More and more studies have been conducted in recent years. Multiple primary cancers (MPCs), also known as multiple primary malignancies, refers to two or more different primary cancers in the same patient occurring in the same or different organs or tissues. The pathogenesis of multiple primary cancers is complex and has a negative effect on the prognosis and survival of patients. This review discusses the common types of BC-associated MPCs, namely, BC associated with OC, BC associated with EC and BC associated with CC, as well as risk factors, pathogenesis, treatment, and prognosis of MPCs associated with breast and gynecologic cancers. It provides new intervention and treatment ideas for patients with BC-associated MPCs to improve quality of life and prognosis.

Cancer 2021; 127:3310-3324.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study was aimed at examining the risks of subsequent primary cancers (SPCs) among breast cancer survivors by hormone receptor (HR) status and age at diagnosis. METHODS Data from 12 Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results registries were used to identify 431,222 breast cancer survivors (at least 1 year) diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 84 years from 1992 to 2015. Risks of SPCs were measured as the standardized incidence ratio (SIR) and the excess absolute risk (EAR) per 10,000 person-years. Poisson regression was used to test the difference in SIRs by HR status. RESULTS In comparison with the general population, the risk of new cancer diagnoses among survivors was 20% higher for those with HR-positive cancers (SIR, 1.20; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.19-1.21; EAR, 23.3/10,000 person-years) and 44% higher for those with HR-negative cancers (SIR, 1.44; 95% CI, 1.41-1.47; EAR, 45.2/10,000 person-years), with the risk difference between HR statuses statistically significant. The higher risk after HR-negative cancer was driven by acute nonlymphocytic leukemia and breast, ovarian, peritoneal, and lung cancers. By age at diagnosis, the total EAR per 10,000 person-years ranged from 15.8 (95% CI, 14.1-17.5; SIR, 1.11) among late-onset (age, 50-84 years) HR-positive survivors to 69.4 (95% CI, 65.1-73.7; SIR, 2.24) among early-onset (age, 20-49 years) HR-negative survivors, with subsequent breast cancer representing 73% to 80% of the total EAR. After breast cancer, the greatest EARs were for ovarian cancer among early-onset HR-negative survivors, lung cancer among early- and late-onset HR-negative survivors, and uterine corpus cancer among late-onset HR-positive survivors. CONCLUSIONS Risks of SPCs after breast cancer differ substantially by subtype and age. This suggests that more targeted approaches for cancer prevention and early-detection strategies are needed in survivorship care planning.

Abstract
Introduction Breast cancer (BC) is a recognized risk factor for endometrial cancer (EC). Emerging literature indicates that it confers a higher risk of type II EC (T2EC) than type I EC (T1EC). Although some surgeons offer a prophylactic hysterectomy to BC patients referred for risk-reducing bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, insufficient evidence prevents this from being the standard practice. We aimed to quantify their absolute risk and relative risk (RR) of developing both EC subtypes and identify a higher-risk group that could be considered for prophylactic hysterectomy. Methodology This retrospective service evaluation compared patients diagnosed with BC between 2008 and 2014, who subsequently developed EC within 10 years to those who did not. Absolute risk and RR were calculated using the numbers of regional BC and EC cases within this group, alongside 2009 UK female population and EC incidence statistics. Binary logistic regression generated adjusted odds ratios (ORs) for patient- and disease-specific variables. Results A total of 45 BC patients developed EC, 24 had T1EC and 21 had T2EC. Their RR of developing EC was greater than that of the general population (RR: 12.44, p < 0.0001). Notably, this was higher for T2EC (RR: 33.96, p < 0.001) than T1EC (RR: 8.63, p < 0.0001). Nonetheless, the absolute risk remained low. Tamoxifen exposure was significantly more prevalent among T2EC patients (adjusted OR: 79.61, p = 0.003). Increased age at BC diagnosis was associated with T1EC (adjusted OR: 1.10, p = 0.043) and T2EC (adjusted OR: 1.13, p = 0.03). Neither smoking status nor family history of BC was significantly associated with any outcome. Conclusion Women with BC were more likely to develop T2EC than T1EC, and although the absolute risk was low, the cumulative risk was substantial enough to warrant vigilance. Tamoxifen exposure was significantly predictive of EC, particularly T2EC, and might facilitate risk estimation. Older women at BC diagnosis who receive tamoxifen treatment should be screened and closely monitored for EC. However, given the limitations of normal screening methods for the detection of T2EC, counseling for a prophylactic hysterectomy should also be considered. Clarification of the menopausal status will help make more meaningful recommendations.

Abstract
PURPOSE Patients with testicular non-seminomatous germ cell tumors in the modern cisplatin-based chemotherapy era show favorable outcomes, yielding survivors exposed to increased risk of second malignant neoplasms. The carcinogenic effects of cisplatin were well established, and its side effects had shown close connections with the urinary system. The study aimed to evaluate how the characteristics of the primary testicular nonseminoma are associated with urological second malignant neoplasms and survival outcomes. METHODS Using the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results database, standardized incidence ratios (SIR) for three major urological tumors including kidney, bladder, and prostate cancer were calculated for 10,734 patients with testicular nonseminoma from 1975 to 2016. The survival analyses were performed using the Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test, risk factors for overall survival were determined by Cox regression. RESULTS We identified a total of 197 patients with secondary urological neoplasms. Patients with previous testicular nonseminoma had elevated risk of kidney cancer (SIR 2.13, 95% CI 1.59-2.79), bladder cancer (SIR 1.47, 95% CI 1.07-1.59), and decreased risks of prostate cancer (SIR 0.75, 95% CI 0.61-0.91) compared with the general population. Patients diagnosed with testicular nonseminoma had favorable prognosis with 10-year overall survival reaching 91.8%, and patients with urological second malignant neoplasms showed better prognoses than patients with other second malignant neoplasms (log-rank P < 0.001). CONCLUSION Testicular nonseminoma survivors showed higher risks of kidney and bladder cancer associated with chemotherapy and decreased risk of prostate cancer. The prognosis of urological second neoplasms was better than other tumor origins.

Abstract
PURPOSE Epidemiological evidence on the risk factors for uterine/endometrial cancer in breast cancer (BCa) survivors is limited and inconsistent. Therefore, we critically reviewed and summarized available evidence related to the risk factors for uterine/endometrial cancer in BCa survivors. METHODS We conducted a literature search through PubMed, Web of Science Core Collection/Cited Reference Search, as well as through manual searches of the bibliographies of the articles identified in electronic searches. We included in this review studies that were published up to November 30, 2018 that were accessible in full-text format and were published in English. RESULTS Of the 27 eligible studies, 96% had > 700 participants, 74% were prospective cohorts, 70% originated outside of the US, 44% reported as having pre-/postmenopausal women, and 26% reported having racially heterogeneous populations. Risk factors positively associated with uterine/endometrial cancer risk among BCa survivors included age at BCa diagnosis > 50 years, African American race, greater BMI/weight gain, and Tamoxifen treatment. For other lifestyle, reproductive and clinical factors, associations were either not significant (parity) or inconsistent (HRT use, menopausal status, smoking status) or had limited evidence (alcohol intake, family history of cancer, age at first birth, oral contraceptive use, age at menopause, comorbidities). CONCLUSION We identified several methodological concerns and limitations across epidemiological studies on potential risk factors for uterine/endometrial cancer in BCa survivors, including lack of details on uterine/endometrial cancer case ascertainment, varying and imprecise definitions of important covariates, insufficient adjustment for potential confounders, and small numbers of uterine/endometrial cancer cases in the overall as well as stratified analyses. Based on the available evidence, older age and higher body weight measures appear to be a shared risk factor for uterine/endometrial cancer in the general population as well as in BCa survivors. In addition, there is suggestive evidence that African American BCa survivors have a higher risk of uterine/endometrial cancer as compared to their White counterparts. There is also evidence that Tamoxifen contributes to uterine/endometrial cancer in BCa survivors. Given limitations of existing studies, more thorough investigation of these associations is warranted to identify additional preventive strategies needed for BCa survivors to reduce uterine/endometrial cancer risk and improve overall survival.

Abstract
PURPOSE Postmenopausal hormone therapy (HT) is known to affect the development of hormone-dependent endometrial carcinoma (type I EC). Several studies on breast and ovarian carcinoma have shown that HT influences the molecular profile and prognostic behavior of these tumors. This study aimed to investigate the influence of prior HT and other risk factors on the prognosis in a cohort of patients with invasive endometrial carcinoma (EC). METHODS Among 525 patients diagnosed with EC between 1987 and 2010, 426 postmenopausal patients were identified. Information regarding HT was available in 287 of these patients, 78 of whom had a history of HT and 209 of whom did not. Both overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were analyzed. In addition to OS and PFS, risk factors such as age at diagnosis, postmenopausal HT, body mass index (BMI), diabetes mellitus, tumor stage, EC type (I or II), and recurrences were analyzed. RESULTS Relative to HT alone, women with EC and a history of HT had a longer survival than those with no HT. However, the Cox proportional hazards model showed that it was not HT itself, but rather other characteristics in the HT group that were causally associated with longer survival. CONCLUSIONS Age (the older, the worse) and tumor stage (the higher, the worse) were significant influences on overall survival. Patients with HT also had lower BMIs, less diabetes, more type I EC, and fewer recurrences in comparison with the non-HT group. With regard to the PFS, it made no difference whether the patient was receiving HT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND With the improvement in the survival of breast cancer, developing second primary malignancy becomes a serious health issue. The aim of this study was to explore the survival of breast cancer patients with second primary malignancy, and to evaluate the impact of chemotherapy on the risk of different cancer sites. METHOD Obtaining data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database, we calculated the standardized incidence ratio (SIR) for second primary malignancy in breast cancer survivors between 2000 and 2014. Overall survival and cancer-specific survival were analyzed with Kaplan-Meier method. Then, we further conducted stratified sub-analyses according to chemotherapy. RESULTS The overall risk of second primary cancer for all sites was significantly elevated in breast cancer patients (SIR = 1.15, 95% CI 1.14-1.16). Overall survival and cancer-specific survival of the patients with breast cancer only were significantly better than the patients with multiple primary cancers (both P < 0.001). Chemotherapy was associated with increased incidences for all sites, except lymphoma, myeloma, and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (SIR = 0.80, 95% CI 0.72-0.88; SIR = 0.85, 95% CI 0.71-1.01; SIR = 0.57, 95% CI 0.43-0.74, respectively). The risk for developing second acute myeloid leukemia after chemotherapy in breast cancer patients varied with age and latency. CONCLUSION Female breast cancer patients showed higher incidence of second primary malignancy, which was associated with poorer prognosis. Chemotherapy benefits should be weighed against the risks of second primary malignancy.

Cause-specific mortality after a breast cancer diagnosis: a cohort study of 10,195 women in Girona and Tarragona. Clin Transl Oncol 2019; 21:1014-1025.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Evidence suggests an excess of long-term mortality due to cardiovascular diseases, second tumours and other causes in patients diagnosed with invasive breast cancer (BC). Our aim was to assess this risk of death in a cohort of patients diagnosed with BC in Girona and Tarragona, northeastern Spain. MATERIALS AND METHODS Using data from the cancer registries in these areas, a population-based cohort study was carried out including all the women diagnosed with BC during 1985-2004 and followed up until December 31st 2014 (N = 10,195). The standardised mortality ratios (SMRs) were calculated for causes other than BC in the cohort at 10 years (periods 1985-1994/1995-2004) and 20 years (period 1985-1994). The impact of competing causes of death in the long-term survival was evaluated through competing risk analysis. RESULTS The SMRs at 10 and 20 years for all-cause mortality, except BC, were 1.21 and 1.22. The main causes of mortality showing statistically significant SMR at 10 years were other tumours (colon, lung, corpus uteri, ovary, and haematological), diabetes mellitus, diseases of the nervous system, cardiovascular diseases (after BC, the second competing cause of death among patients diagnosed > 69 years) and diseases of the kidney. Globally, the 10-year SMR was higher in the first period. After 20 years of follow-up (1985-1994 cohort), there were 48.5 excess deaths per 10,000 patient-years for causes other than BC. CONCLUSIONS Women who did not die from BC at 10 or 20 years after the BC diagnosis had 20% higher risk of dying from other causes than women without BC. This excess risk must be clinically considered during 20 years after the BC diagnosis.

Abstract
Tamoxifen, an anti-estrogen agent that can suppress breast cancer, has been reported to increase endometrium-related adverse events. There are no guidelines for screening tamoxifen-treated patients for endometrial disease. We analyzed nationwide claims data related to endometrial diseases to investigate patterns of endometrial disease in breast cancer patients who underwent hormonal treatment.We sourced claims data from the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service in South Korea. Patients who made their first claim for an anti-hormonal agent between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2012 were enrolled retrospectively. We analyzed patient characteristics and all claims related to endometrial disease, stratified by prescribed hormonal agents.Among a total of 32,496 enrolled patients, 19,603 used tamoxifen only and 10,101 were treated with an aromatase inhibitor (AI) alone. Endometrial events occurred in 15.4% (3028/19603) of the tamoxifen-only patients and 2.0% (201/10101) of the AI-only group. In patients diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 50 or older, the hazard ratio (HR) of endometrial malignancy in the tamoxifen-only group compared to the AI-only group was 4.13 (95% CI 1.404-12.159, P = .010). The HR of curettage in the tamoxifen-only group was 31.0 (95% CI 19.668-48.831, P <.001).The occurrence of endometrial events among tamoxifen-treated breast cancer patients was higher than in patients treated with only AI, similar to previous studies. However, the HR of curettage was uniquely high, despite its invasiveness. Guidelines for screening endometrial disease and improvements of healthcare policy are required to appropriately manage high-risk patients.

Abstract
Breast, ovarian, and uterine corpus cancers are common female cancers and categorized as hormone-related diseases. Previous studies reported a unidirectional relationship for each cancer, but few studied the reciprocal association in the same cohort. A population-based study was carried out in Taiwan to test the hypothesis that there are pairwise bidirectional associations among these cancers. Using the same cohort of 110,112 cases with primary female cancers including uterine corpus cancer (11,146 cases), ovarian cancer (12,139 cases), or breast cancer (86,827 cases) from the Taiwan Cancer Registry from 1979 to 2008, the pairwise risks of second cancer among uterine corpus, ovary, and breast cancer cases were evaluated by standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) and the corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) to quantify the excess of second malignancies. A reciprocal relationship was found for these three female cancers, particularly most prominent between uterine and ovarian cancers, followed by breast and uterine cancers as well as breast and ovarian cancers. The overall risk of second cancers was highest within the first 5 years after the diagnosis of primary cancer. The bidirectional relationships suggest common risk factors among these three female cancers. This is the largest cohort study to focus on the bidirectional associations among hormone-related cancers in Asian women, and these results could aid in the development of early prevention strategies and follow-up surveillance programs.

Abstract
Breast cancer survivors are at an increased risk of second primary cancers, and the risk factors for the latter may have clinical significance. The aims of our study were to evaluate the incidences and risk factors of second primary female genital cancers (corpus uteri, cervix uteri plus ovary) in a large cohort of breast cancer survivors. Using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database, we examined the standardized incidence ratio (SIR) and risk factors for second primary female genital cancers observed between 2000 and 2014. Breast cancer survivors had increased SIRs for second corpus uteri cancers and second ovarian cancers and a decreased SIR for second cervical cancers (SIR 1.17, 1.12, and 0.64, respectively). Risk factors of second corpus uteri cancers were the age at first cancer diagnosis, race (black vs. white, aHR = 1.142 95% CI 1.005–1.298), and progesterone receptor (PR) status (PR+ vs. PR−, aHR = 1.131 95% CI 1.004–1.273). In addition, the risk of second ovarian cancer was positively associated with age while inversely associated with race (black vs. white, aHR = 0.691 95% CI 0.555–0.859) and estrogen receptor (ER) status (ER+ vs. ER−, aHR = 0.655 95% CI 0.544–0.788). Age, race, and hormone receptor status are risk factors of developing second female genital cancers among breast cancer survivors. Older age, black race, and a PR+ status in survivors are associated with a higher risk of second corpus uteri cancers. Additionally, older age and an ER− status should increase vigilance for potential second ovarian cancers.
