Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to compare characteristics and survival of patients with de novo and metachronous metastatic breast cancer. METHODS Data of patients with metastatic breast cancer were obtained from the Netherlands Cancer Registry. Patients were categorized as having de novo metastatic breast cancer (n = 8656) if they had distant metastases at initial presentation, or metachronous metastatic disease (n = 2374) in case they developed metastases within 5 or 10 years after initial breast cancer diagnosis. Clinicopathological characteristics and treatments of these two groups were compared, after which multiple imputation was performed to account for missing data. Overall survival was compared for patients treated with systemic therapy in the metastatic setting, using Kaplan Meier curves and multivariable Cox proportional hazards models. The hazard ratio for overall survival of de novo versus metachronous metastases was assessed accounting for time-varying effects. RESULTS Compared to metachronous patients, patients with de novo metastatic breast cancer were more likely to be ≥ 70 years, to have invasive lobular carcinoma, clinical T3 or T4 tumours, loco-regional lymph node metastases, HER2 positivity, bone only disease and to have received systemic therapy in the metastatic setting. They were less likely to have triple negative tumours and liver or brain metastases. Patients with de novo metastases survived longer (median 34.7 months) than patients with metachronous metastases (median 24.3 months) and the hazard ratio (0.75) varied over time. CONCLUSIONS Differences in clinicopathological characteristics and survival between de novo and metachronous metastatic breast cancer highlight that these are distinct patients groups.

Web-Based Dynamic Nomograms for Predicting Overall Survival and Cancer-Specific Survival in Breast Cancer Patients with Lung Metastases. J Pers Med 2022; 13:jpm13010043. [PMID: 36675704 PMCID: PMC9864097 DOI: 10.3390/jpm13010043] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2022] [Revised: 12/12/2022] [Accepted: 12/21/2022] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND 60-70% of patients who die from breast cancer have lung metastases. However, there is a lack of readily available tools for accurate risk stratification in patients with breast cancer lung metastases (BCLM). Therefore, a web-based dynamic nomogram was developed for BCLM to quickly, accurately, and intuitively assess overall and cancer-specific survival rates. METHODS Patients diagnosed with BCLM between 2004 and 2016 were extracted from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and Final Results (SEER) database. After excluding incomplete data, all patients were randomly assigned to training and validation cohorts (2:1). Patients' basic clinical information, detailed pathological staging and treatment information, and sociological information were included in further analysis. Nomograms were constructed following the evaluations of the Cox regression model and verified using the concordance index (C-index), calibration curves, time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, and decision curve analysis (DCA). Web-based dynamic nomograms were published online. RESULTS 3916 breast cancer patients with lung metastases were identified from the SEER database. Based on multivariate Cox regression analysis, overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) are significantly correlated with 13 variables: age, marital status, race, grade, T stage, surgery, chemotherapy, bone metastatic, brain metastatic, liver metastatic, estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2). These are included in the construction of the nomogram of OS and CSS. The time-dependent receiver operating characteristic curve, decision curve analysis, consistency index, and calibration curve prove the distinct advantages of the nomogram. CONCLUSIONS Our web-based dynamic nomogram effectively integrates patient molecular subtype and sociodemographic characteristics with clinical characteristics and guidance and can be easily used. ER-Negative should receive attention in diagnosing and treating BCLM.

Abstract
Male breast cancer is a rare disease. Many experiences of male breast cancer were derived of female breast cancer. However, there are huge differences between two groups. We conducted this study to find a reliable prognostic model for advanced male breast cancer. The cohort was selected from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database. The enrolled patients were randomly divided into training and validation group. The univariate and multivariate analyses were used for prognostic assessment and a nomogram was built. Calibration curves and concordance index were compiled to determine predictive and discriminatory capacity. The time-dependent receiver operating curves and the decision curve analysis was used to verify the model's ability. Two hundred and eighty individuals were enrolled. The cumulative rates of 1-, 3- and 5-year overall survival (OS) rates were 98.6%, 72% and 57.9%. The C-indexes for OS were 0.835 (95%CI, 0.777-0.893) in the training group and 0.765 (95%CI, 0.668-0.862) in the validation group. The calibration curves confirmed the consistency of the nomogram both in the training and validation group. The time-dependent receiver operating curves and decision curve analysis demonstrated that the nomogram had better prediction capacity than TNM stage system for advanced male breast cancer. The nomogram we built was a reliable and solid predictive model.

Abstract
Objective: Whether locoregional therapy (LRT) should be performed in
patients with de novo metastatic breast cancer (dnMBC) has been debated. Here we
report the survival outcomes of LRT in patients with dnMBC, focusing on the
association of surgical timings and surgical margins with survival in this
patient population. Methods: The retrospective study included
patients with dnMBC in our hospital, between March 1, 2007 and December 31,
2017. Overall survival (OS) was evaluated by means of a stratified log-rank test
and summarized with the use of Kaplan–Meier methods. Results: A
total of 153 patients were included, of whom 87 underwent LRT and 66 systemic
therapy alone (STA). LRT showed a significant OS benefit over STA (HR, 0.62; 95%
CI, 0.39 to 0.99; P = .043). The OS of LRT group and STA
group were 39 months (95% CI, 33.6 to 44.4 months) and 24.6 months (95% CI, 20.6
to 28.6 months), respectively. The benefit was consistent across most subgroups.
The OS of patients undergoing surgery was better than that of patients without
surgery (HR, 0.58; 95% CI, 0.35 to 0.94; P = .0001), and
there was difference in survival improvement at different surgical timings
(surgery before chemotherapy, during chemotherapy, and after chemotherapy)
(P = .0001). The survival benefit of surgery after
chemotherapy was significantly greater than that of the other 2 options (HR,
0.77; 95% CI, 0.63 to 0.94). Moreover, compared with patients with positive
margins, the OS of patients with negative margins was significantly improved
(HR, 0.22; 95% CI, 0.13 to 0.37; P < .001).
Conclusions: Our results suggest that LRT is associated with
improved OS in women with dnMBC, and patients who had surgery after systemic
chemotherapy with negative surgical margins, are expected to benefit more.

Abstract
Breast cancer that is characterized by amplification or over expression of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) accounts for 15% to 20% of all forms of the disease. Although HER2 amplification has been associated with aggressive disease behavior and poor prognosis, the development and availability of a number of HER2-targeted agents has led to improved outcomes for patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer, with data suggesting that overall survival has substantially improved in the past 2 decades. An increasing proportion of HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer is diagnosed as de novo stage IV disease. Patients with de novo metastases are traditionally classified in the general category of metastatic breast cancer and not analyzed as a distinct subgroup, though response to therapy and disease outcomes may differ from that of disease that recurred after early stage disease. Among patients with HER2+ de novo metastatic breast cancer, those who achieve a complete response have a prolonged progression-free survival and overall survival. Moreover, the fact that some patients achieve a prolonged durable response has raised interest and renewed discussion about whether cure is feasible in the complex context of metastatic breast cancer. In this review, available data associated with the possibility of cure in the population of patients with HER2+ de novo metastatic breast cancer are presented and discussed in detail.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE Since more solid evidence has emerged supporting the effectiveness of loco-regional treatment (LRT), clinicians consider LRT a treatment option for selected de novo stage IV breast cancer (BC) patients. This is the first report on long-term quality of life (QoL) in a cohort of patients who were randomized to receive either LRT and then systemic treatment (ST) or ST alone in the protocol MF07-01. We aimed to evaluate QoL in patients living at least 3 years since randomization using scores from the SF-12 health survey. METHODS SF-12 (V2) forms were completed during visits of patients who were living 36 months after the randomization. We first calculated PCS-12 (Physical Health Composite Scale) and MCS-12 (Mental Health Composite Scale) scores from de novo stage IV BC patients and compared them with the scores of patients diagnosed with stage I-III BC who lived more than 3 years. Further, PCS-12 and MCS-12 scores were compared between the LRT and ST groups with de novo stage IV BC. Additionally, general health, physical functioning, role functioning, bodily pain, vitality, mental health, and social functioning were evaluated and compared between the groups. Considering age-related changes in QoL, we also compared PCS-12 and MCS-12 scores of patients below or above 55 and 65 years of age. Responses to four additional questions (compare your physical health, mental health, daily activities, and energy currently vs. at diagnosis of BC) were recorded, considering cultural differences. RESULTS There were 81 patients in this analysis; 68% of patients (n = 55) had LRT, and 32% (n = 26) received ST. General health was good or very good in 62% (n = 34) in the LRT group and 66% (n = 17) in the ST-only group (p = 0.63). Mean PCS-12 score was 40.8 + 1.6, and mean MCS-12 score was 43.4 + 2.0 (p = 0.34 and p = 0.54, respectively). PCS-12 and MCS-12 score difference was lower than that of the general Turkish population (PCS-12 = 49.3 + 12.8 and MCS-12 = 46.8 + 13.0) and stage I-III BC patients (PCS-12 = 51.1 ± 0.5, MCS-12 = 45.7 ± 0.6). PCS-12 and MCS-12 scores were similar between the LRT and ST-only groups in patients younger and older than 55 and 65, but QoL scores were much better in stage I-III BC patients younger than 65 when compared to the scores of those with de novo stage IV BC. Although treatment with or without LRT did not affect physical health, mental health, daily activities, and energy at 3 years vs. at diagnosis of BC in de novo stage IV BC patients (p > 0.05), these variables were significantly better in stage I-III BC patients (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION The current MF07-01Q study demonstrates that patient who had LRT has similar physical and mental health outcomes compared to ST only in a cohort of patients who lived longer than 3 years. Trial registration This study is registered on clinicaltrials.gov with identifier number NCT00557986.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In breast cancer, local tumour control is thought to be optimised by administering higher local levels of cytotoxic chemotherapy, in particular doxorubicin. However, systemic administration of higher dosages of doxorubicin is hampered by its toxic side effects. In this study, we aim to increase doxorubicin deposition in the primary breast tumour without changing systemic doxorubicin concentration and thus without interfering with systemic efficacy and toxicity. This is to be achieved by combining Lyso-Thermosensitive Liposomal Doxorubicin (LTLD, ThermoDox, Celsion Corporation, Lawrenceville, NJ, USA) with mild local hyperthermia, induced by Magnetic Resonance guided High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (MR-HIFU). When heated above 39.5°C, LTLD releases a high concentration of doxorubicin intravascularly within seconds. In the absence of hyperthermia, LTLD leads to a similar biodistribution and antitumour efficacy compared with conventional doxorubicin. METHODS AND ANALYSIS This is a single-arm phase I study in 12 chemotherapy-naïve patients with de novo stage IV HER2-negative breast cancer. Previous endocrine treatment is allowed. Study treatment consists of up to six cycles of LTLD at 21-day intervals, administered during MR-HIFU-induced hyperthermia to the primary tumour. We will aim for 60 min of hyperthermia at 40°C-42°C using a dedicated MR-HIFU breast system (Profound Medical, Mississauga, Canada). Afterwards, intravenous cyclophosphamide will be administered. Primary endpoints are safety, tolerability and feasibility. The secondary endpoint is efficacy, assessed by radiological response.This approach could lead to optimal loco-regional control with less extensive or even no surgery, in de novo stage IV patients and in stage II/III patients allocated to receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION This study has obtained ethical approval by the Medical Research Ethics Committee Utrecht (Protocol NL67422.041.18, METC number 18-702). Informed consent will be obtained from all patients before study participation. Results will be published in an academic peer-reviewed journal. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBERS NCT03749850, EudraCT 2015-005582-23.

Abstract
Improvements in systemic therapies have changed the face of de novo metastatic breast cancer (dnMBC), with a 5-year survival rate exceeding 25 %. Increasing evidence suggests that a subset of patients could benefit from a locoregional treatment (LRT) with prolonged survival, although the diversity of publications on the subject make it difficult to draw any conclusions. In this review, we summarize the available data on retrospective, prospective and current ongoing clinical trials. Since factors such as tumor biology, pattern of metastatic dissemination and the timing of the treatment are closely linked to the therapeutic strategy, we focus on papers which include these aspects. We discuss recent studies indicating that exclusive radiotherapy provides results comparable with those obtained by surgery. We will then discuss the biological rationale for LRT. Finally, we propose a decision-tree to select the optimal candidates for LRT in dnMBC patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Non-Hispanic black (NHB) women with breast cancer have poorer survival than non-Hispanic white (NHW) women. Although NHB women are more often diagnosed at later stages, it is less established whether racial disparities exist among women diagnosed with late-stage breast cancer, particularly when care is provided in the community setting. METHODS Treatment and survival were examined by race/ethnicity among women diagnosed in 2012 with stage IIIB-IV breast cancer using the National Cancer Institute's population-based Patterns of Care Study. Medical records were re-abstracted and treating physicians were contacted to verify therapy. Vital status was available through 2014. RESULTS A total of 533 women with stage IIIB-C and 625 with stage IV tumors were included; NHW women comprised about 70% of each group. Among women with stage IIIB-C disease, racial/ethnicity variations in systemic treatment were not observed but there was a borderline association indicating worse all-cause mortality among NHB women (hazard ratio 1.52; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.96-2.41). In contrast, among women with stage IV disease, borderline associations indicating NHB women were more likely to receive chemotherapy (OR 1.44, 95% CI 0.90-2.30) and, among those with hormone receptor-positive tumors, less likely to receive endocrine therapy (OR 0.60, 95% CI 0.35-1.04). All-cause mortality did not vary by race/ethnicity for stage IV disease (hazard ratio 0.92; 95% CI 0.68-1.25). CONCLUSIONS More research is needed to identify additional factors associated with the potential survival disparities among women with stage IIIB-C disease and potential treatment disparities among women with stage IV disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The MF07-01 trial is a multicenter, phase III, randomized, controlled study comparing locoregional treatment (LRT) followed by systemic therapy (ST) with ST alone for treatment-naïve stage IV breast cancer (BC) patients. METHODS At initial diagnosis, patients were randomized 1:1 to either the LRT or ST group. All the patients were given ST either immediately after randomization or after surgical resection of the intact primary tumor. RESULTS The trial enrolled 274 patients: 138 in the LRT group and 136 in the ST group. Hazard of death was 34% lower in the LRT group than in the ST group (hazard ratio [HR], 0.66; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.49-0.88; p = 0.005). Unplanned subgroup analyses showed that the risk of death was statistically lower in the LRT group than in the ST group with respect to estrogen receptor (ER)/progesterone receptor (PR)(+) (HR 0.64; 95% CI 0.46-0.91; p = 0.01), human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2)/neu(-) (HR 0.64; 95% CI 0.45-0.91; p = 0.01), patients younger than 55 years (HR 0.57; 95% CI 0.38-0.86; p = 0.007), and patients with solitary bone-only metastases (HR 0.47; 95% CI 0.23-0.98; p = 0.04). CONCLUSION In the current trial, improvement in 36-month survival was not observed with upfront surgery for stage IV breast cancer patients. However, a longer follow-up study (median, 40 months) showed statistically significant improvement in median survival. When locoregional treatment in de novo stage IV BC is discussed with the patient as an option, practitioners must consider age, performance status, comorbidities, tumor type, and metastatic disease burden.

Abstract
A cancer in the contralateral breast in a woman with a previous or synchronous breast cancer is typically considered to be an independent primary tumor. Emerging evidence suggests that in a small subset of these cases the second tumor represents a metastasis. We sought to investigate the issue using massively parallel sequencing targeting 254 genes recurrently mutated in breast cancer. We examined the tumor archives at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center for the period 1995-2006 to identify cases of contralateral breast cancer where surgery for both tumors was performed at the Center. We report results from 49 patients successfully analyzed by a targeted massively parallel sequencing assay. Somatic mutations and copy number alterations were defined by state-of-the-art algorithms. Clonal relatedness was evaluated by statistical tests specifically designed for this purpose. We found evidence that the tumors in contralateral breasts were clonally related in three cases (6%) on the basis of matching mutations at codons where somatic mutations are rare. Clinical data and the presence of similar patterns of gene copy number alterations were consistent with metastasis for all three cases. In three additional cases, there was a solitary matching mutation at a common PIK3CA locus. The results suggest that a subset of contralateral breast cancers represent metastases rather than independent primary tumors. Massively parallel sequencing analysis can provide important evidence to clarify the diagnosis. However, given the inter-tumor mutational heterogeneity in breast cancer, sufficiently large gene panels need to be employed to define clonality convincingly in all cases.

[PMID: 28978078 PMCID: PMC5620218 DOI: 10.18632/oncotarget.18889] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2017] [Accepted: 06/04/2017] [Indexed: 12/31/2022] Open
Abstract
This retrospective study aimed to investigate the clinical value of local surgery in stage IV BC and determined whether the survival outcomes were affected by the breast cancer subtype (BCS). Women with de novo stage IV BC from 2010 to 2013 were included using the Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results database. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed to evaluate the prognostic factors for breast cancer-specific survival (BCSS) and overall survival (OS). Among 9,256 patients were identified, 3,130 (33.8%) were received local surgery. Patients with hormone receptor (HR)+/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)- subtype were less likely to receive local surgery, while HR-/HER2- tumors were more likely to receive surgery. Multivariate analyses revealed that local surgery improved survival, surgical intervention was an independent favorable prognostic factor for BCSS (P < 0.001) and OS (P < 0.001). Patients who receipt of surgery had better survival outcomes compared with the non-surgery group, and the survival benefits of local surgery were not affected by the BCS status. Local surgery was improved survival for patients with stage IV BC regardless of the BCS status.
