Breast Cancer Res Treat 2024; 204:367-376. [PMID: 38151690 DOI: 10.1007/s10549-023-07224-3] [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: 10/09/2023] [Accepted: 12/10/2023] [Indexed: 12/29/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE To estimate the incidence rate of second primary cancers (SPCs) and the cumulative incidence of metachronous [diagnosed > 2 months after a first primary cancer (FPC)] SPCs in patients with a breast FPC, and to compare the incidence of SPC [overall, synchronous (≤ 2 months of the FPC) and metachronous] with that expected in the general female population. METHODS A cohort of patients with a breast FPC from the North Region Cancer Registry of Portugal, diagnosed in 2000-2010 (n = 15,981), was followed to 31 December 2015 for synchronous and metachronous SPCs. Cumulative incidence of metachronous SPCs considering death as a competing event, and incidence rates and standardized incidence ratios of SPCs were estimated. RESULTS The diagnosis of an SPC occurred in 1229 (7.7%) of patients with a breast FPC. SPCs occurred mainly in the breast, followed by digestive organs, lung, thyroid, and female genital organs. Globally, patients with a breast FPC had a higher incidence for all types of cancer compared to the general female population, and in particular for cancers of the breast, stomach, colon, lung, lymphoma, uterus, and ovary. The 10-year cumulative incidence of metachronous SPCs following a breast FPC was 6.6% and the corresponding 10-year cumulative mortality was 26.2%. CONCLUSION In Portugal, patients with a breast FPC have a higher incidence of cancer compared to the general female population, highlighting important aspects of care, surveillance, and counselling among this growing number of patients.

Abstract
In people with cancer, multiple primary malignant neoplasms (MPMNs) are not unusual, and they may be caused by risk factors such as genetics, viral infection, smoking, environmental factors, or treatment-related variables. The frequency of MPMNs occurring in the same or separate organ systems is between 2% and 17%. The 5-year breast cancer survivors have been found to have around 3.6% chance of acquiring another neoplasm. In this case report, we present a very rare simultaneous occurrence of two highly malignant tumors - triple-negative breast cancer and cutaneous melanoma. We performed genetic tests for determining the link between both neoplasms. The patient was treated in an adjuvant setting with chemotherapy and immunotherapy with pembrolizumab. According to epidemiological studies, for primary cutaneous melanoma following breast cancer, the standardized incidence ratio (SIR) varied from 1.03 to 4.10, while for primary breast carcinoma following cutaneous melanoma, it varied from 1.16 to 5.13. A number of risk factors have been proven to increase the risk of a second primary malignancy. This case highlights the importance of risk factor assessment and thorough primary workup of each patient. It emphasizes the need for a personalized approach when treating synchronous neoplasms.

Abstract
Breast cancer survivors may experience significant after effects from diagnoses of breast cancer and cancer directed therapies. This review synthesizes the evidence about optimal management of the sequelae of a diagnosis of breast cancer. It describes the side effects of chemotherapy and endocrine therapy and evidence based strategies for management of such effects, with particular attention to effects of therapies with curative intent. It includes strategies to promote health and wellness among breast cancer survivors, along with data to support the use of integrative oncology strategies. In addition, this review examines models of survivorship care and ways in which digital tools may facilitate communication between clinicians and patients. The strategies outlined in this review are paramount to supporting breast cancer survivors' quality of life.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Breast cancer survivors are living longer due to early detection and advances in treatment and are at increased risk for second primary cancers. Comprehensive evaluation of second cancer risk among patients treated in recent decades is lacking. METHODS We identified 16,004 females diagnosed with a first primary stage I-III breast cancer between 1990 and 2016 (followed through 2017) and survived ≥ 1 year at Kaiser Permanente (KP) Colorado, Northwest, and Washington. Second cancer was defined as an invasive primary cancer diagnosed ≥ 12 months after the first primary breast cancer. Second cancer risk was evaluated for all cancers (excluding ipsilateral breast cancer) using standardized incidence ratios (SIRs), and a competing risk approach for cumulative incidence and hazard ratios (HRs) adjusted for KP center, treatment, age, and year of first cancer diagnosis. RESULTS Over a median follow-up of 6.2 years, 1,562 women developed second cancer. Breast cancer survivors had a 70% higher risk of any cancer (95%CI = 1.62-1.79) and 45% higher risk of non-breast cancer (95%CI = 1.37-1.54) compared with the general population. SIRs were highest for malignancies of the peritoneum (SIR = 3.44, 95%CI = 1.65-6.33), soft tissue (SIR = 3.32, 95%CI = 2.51-4.30), contralateral breast (SIR = 3.10, 95%CI = 2.82-3.40), and acute myeloid leukemia (SIR = 2.11, 95%CI = 1.18-3.48)/myelodysplastic syndrome (SIR = 3.25, 95%CI = 1.89-5.20). Women also had elevated risks for oral, colon, pancreas, lung, and uterine corpus cancer, melanoma, and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (SIR range = 1.31-1.97). Radiotherapy was associated with increased risk for all second cancers (HR = 1.13, 95%CI = 1.01-1.25) and soft tissue sarcoma (HR = 2.36, 95%CI = 1.17-4.78), chemotherapy with decreased risk for all second cancers (HR = 0.87, 95%CI = 0.78-0.98) and increased myelodysplastic syndrome risk (HR = 3.01, 95%CI = 1.01-8.94), and endocrine therapy with lower contralateral breast cancer risk (HR = 0.48, 95%CI = 0.38-0.60). Approximately 1 in 9 women who survived ≥ 1 year developed second cancer, 1 in 13 developed second non-breast cancer, and 1 in 30 developed contralateral breast cancer by 10 years. Trends in cumulative incidence declined for contralateral breast cancer but not for second non-breast cancers. CONCLUSIONS Elevated risks of second cancer among breast cancer survivors treated in recent decades suggests that heightened surveillance is warranted and continued efforts to reduce second cancers are needed.

Allen I, Hassan H, Sofianopoulou E, Eccles D, Turnbull C, Tischkowitz M, Pharoah P, Antoniou AC. Risks of second non-breast primaries following breast cancer in women: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Breast Cancer Res 2023; 25:18. [PMID: 36765408 PMCID: PMC9912682 DOI: 10.1186/s13058-023-01610-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2022] [Accepted: 01/25/2023] [Indexed: 02/12/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Second primary cancer incidence is rising among breast cancer survivors. We examined the risks of non-breast second primaries, in combination and at specific cancer sites, through a systematic review and meta-analysis. METHODS We conducted a systematic search of PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science, seeking studies published by March 2022. We included studies that reported standardized incidence ratios (SIRs), with associated standard errors, assessing the combined risk of second non-breast primaries following breast cancer. We performed meta-analyses of combined second primary risks, stratifying by age, follow-up duration, and geographic region. We also assessed second primary risks at several specific sites, stratifying by age. The inverse variance method with DerSimonian-Laird estimators was used in all meta-analyses, assuming a random-effects model. Associated biases and study quality were evaluated using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale. RESULTS One prospective and twenty-seven retrospective cohort studies were identified. SIRs for second non-breast primaries combined ranged from 0.84 to 1.84. The summary SIR estimate was 1.24 (95% CI 1.14-1.36, I2: 99%). This varied by age: the estimate was 1.59 (95% CI 1.36-1.85) when breast cancer was diagnosed before age 50, which was significantly higher than in women first diagnosed at 50 or over (SIR: 1.13, 95% CI 1.01-1.36, p for difference: < 0.001). SPC risks were also significantly higher when based on Asian, rather than European, registries (Asia-SIR: 1.47, 95% CI 1.29-1.67. Europe-SIR: 1.16, 95% CI 1.04-1.28). There were significantly increased risks of second thyroid (SIR: 1.89, 95% CI 1.49-2.38), corpus uteri (SIR: 1.84, 95% CI 1.53-2.23), ovary (SIR: 1.53, 95% CI 1.35-1.73), kidney (SIR: 1.43, 95% CI 1.17-1.73), oesophagus (SIR: 1.39, 95% CI 1.26-1.55), skin (melanoma) (SIR: 1.34, 95% CI 1.18-1.52), blood (leukaemia) (SIR: 1.30, 95% CI 1.17-1.45), lung (SIR: 1.25, 95% CI 1.03-1.51), stomach (SIR: 1.23, 95% CI 1.12-1.36) and bladder (SIR: 1.15, 95% CI 1.05-1.26) primaries. CONCLUSIONS Breast cancer survivors are at significantly increased risk of second primaries at many sites. Risks are higher for those diagnosed with breast cancer before age 50 and in Asian breast cancer survivors compared to European breast cancer survivors. This study is limited by a lack of data on potentially confounding variables. The conclusions may inform clinical management decisions following breast cancer, although specific clinical recommendations lie outside the scope of this review.

Abstract
Objectives The aim of this study was to estimate the extra risk of second primary cancer among breast cancer patients. Methods and materials This is a systematic review. A comprehensive search of literature was performed in PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane library, and Scopus. The search included all published studies up to October 2022. This systematic review included studies published in the English language that reported the risk of second primary non-breast cancer [i.e., standardized incidence ratio (SIR)] among breast cancer patients older than 15 years. After evaluating the methodological quality of the selected studies, SIRs were pooled with consideration of heterogeneity among studies. The estimates were pooled by age and time since the diagnosis of primary breast cancer for both sexes (male and female). Age was categorized based on before 50 years and after 50 years, and time was categorized as duration of less than and more than 10 years, respectively. Results From 2,484 articles, 30 articles were eligible for inclusion in the systematic review and meta-analysis. The studies varied in terms of population, number of cases, study design, setting, and year of implementation of the research. The estimated SIR for men and women was 1.28 (95% CI: 1.18, 1.38) and 1.27 (95% CI: 1.15, 1.39), respectively. Women diagnosed with breast cancer before menopause [SIR: 1.52 (95% CI: 1.34, 1.71) vs. 1.21 (95% CI: 1.08, 1.34)] as well as women after 10 years since their breast cancer diagnosis [1.33 (95% CI: 1.22, 1.431) vs. 1.24 (95% CI: 1.10, 1.37)] were at a higher risk of developing second primary cancer. Among men, while there were no differences in risk based on age, with the increase of time, the risk of second primary cancer was reduced [SIR: 1.22 (95% CI: 1.12, 1.33) vs. 1.00 (95% CI: 0.79, 1.22)]. Conclusion There is an extra risk of second primary cancer among breast cancer patients. The extra risk should be considered for further screening and preventive measures among this population.

Ten-Year Probabilities of Death Due to Cancer and Cardiovascular Disease among Breast Cancer Patients Diagnosed in North-Eastern Spain.

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
Breast and thyroid glands are two common sites of female malignancies. Since the late 19th century, physicians have found that the cancers in either thyroid or mammary gland might increase the risk of second primary cancers in the other site. From then on, many observational clinical studies have confirmed the hypothesis and more than one theory has been developed to explain the phenomenon. Since the two glands both have secretory functions and are regulated by the hypothalamic-pituitary axis, they may share some common oncogenic molecular pathways. However, other risks factors, including medical interventions and hormones, are also observed to play a role. This article aims to provide a comprehensive review of the associations between the two cancers. The putative mechanisms, such as hormone alteration, autoimmune attack, genetic predisposition and other life-related factors are reviewed and discussed. Medical interventions, such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy, can also increase the risk of second primary cancers. This review will provide novel insights into the research designs, clinical managements and treatments of thyroid and breast cancer patients.

Abstract
BackgroundWith increased survival in breast cancer, resulting from advances in treatment, patients incur the possibility of subsequent primary malignancies, especially lung cancer. The aim of this study was to assess the frequency of CT-detected pulmonary ground-glass nodules and lung cancer following breast cancer diagnosis, the associations between breast cancer and lung cancer, the pathological features of double primary cancer, and the status of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations in second primary lung cancer.MethodsClinical data from more than 9000 individuals who were diagnosed with primary breast cancer at Jiangsu Province Hospital (Jiangsu, China) between January 2008 and December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.ResultsOf the 9179 patients, 6512 underwent diagnostic CT, 55 (0.8%) were diagnosed with a second primary lung cancer, which accounted for approximately 18.4% of the pulmonary ground-glass nodules (GGNs) detected. The incidence was higher than in the general female population (standardized incidence ratio 1.4 [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.25-1.55]). Patients who experienced a second primary lung cancer exhibited a significantly higher rate of EGFR mutation (78.5%) than those with lung adenocarcinoma alone, with most exhibiting low-grade malignancy, older age, estrogen receptor negativity, low Ki67, and no lymph node metastasis.ConclusionsBreast cancer patients, especially those with low-grade malignancy, were at high risk for developing primary lung cancer. For isolated GGN in patients with high-risk factors, clinicians should insist on close follow-up. Furthermore, EGFR may play an important role in primary lung adenocarcinomas and breast cancer.

Front Oncol 2022; 12:942320. [PMID: 36248962 PMCID: PMC9556865 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2022.942320] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2022] [Accepted: 09/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Breast cancer (BC) survivors have an increased risk of developing second primary cancers (SPCs); however, it is still unclear if metastasis is a risk factor for developing SPCs. Usually, long-term cancer survivors face an increased risk of developing SPCs; however, less attention has been paid to SPCs in patients with metastatic cancer as the survival outcomes of the patients are greatly reduced. Methods A total of 17,077 American women diagnosed with breast cancer between 2010 and 2018 were identified from Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database and were included in the study. The clinical characteristics, standardized incidence ratio (SIR), standardized mortality ratio (SMR), and patterns of SPCs in BC patients with no metastasis, regional lymph node metastasis, and distant metastasis were investigated. Kaplan-Meier method was used to compare the prognosis of BC patients after developing SPCs with different metastatic status. XGBoost, a high-precision machine learning algorithm, was used to create a prediction model to estimate the prognosis of metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients with SPCs. Results The results reveal that the SIR (1.01; 95% CI, 0.99–1.03, p>0.05) of SPCs in non-metastasis breast cancer (NMBC) patients was similar to the general population. Further, patients with regional lymph node metastasis showed an 8% increased risk of SPCs (SIR=1.08, 95%CI, 1.05–1.11, p<0.05), and patients with distant metastasis had a 26% increased risk of SPCs (SIR=1.26, 95%CI, 1.16–1.37, p<0.05). The SIR of SPCs in all patients below the age of 40 was the highest, which decreased with age. Patients with poorly differentiated cancers, large tumor size, and late N stage had an increased risk of SPCs. However, an increase in SIR of SPCs was observed in distant MBC patients, even at the early T1 (SIR=1.60, 95% CI, 1.22–1.98, p<0.05) and N1 (SIR=1.27, 95% CI, 1.10–1.44, p<0.05) stage. An increase in the SIR of SPCs was observed in patients with triple-negative BC, and the SIR of SPC increased with metastasis development in BC patients with luminal A subtype. The peak of SPCs risk occurrence was earlier in MBC patients (4-6 months and 10 months) compared to NMBC patients (12 months). The effect of metastasis on the prognosis of SPCs patients was dependent on the type of SPCs. Meanwhile, the XGBoost model was created to predict the 3-year (AUC=0.873) and 5-year survival (AUC=0.918) of SPCs in MBC patients. Conclusions Our study provides novel insight into the impact of metastasis on SPCs in BC patients. Metastasis could promote the second primary tumorigenesis which further increased cancer-related deaths. Therefore, more attention should be paid to the occurrence of SPCs in MBC patients.

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.

Abstract
Background The time interval rules and survival outcomes of individuals with synchronous and metachronous breast cancer (BC) and ovarian cancer (OC) were examined in this retrospective population-based investigation. Methods The National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database was used to create a cohort of people diagnosed with BC and OC between 1973 and 2015. Patients were separated into three groups: those with main BC followed by primary OC (group 1), those with synchronous primary breast and ovarian cancer (group 2), and those with OC prior to BC (group 3). The Kaplan-Meier technique was used to assess overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS). Results A total of 4,975 patients were identified: 2,929 patients in group 1, 680 patients in group 2, and 1,366 patients in group 3. The average duration between these tumors was 60 months (range 0-499). Approximately 50% of second primary cancer cases occurred during the first 60 months of the first primary cancer diagnosis, and more than 70% occurred within the first 120 months. The median survival time for 4,975 individuals was 140 months. Group 2 had the smallest median OS (35 months), whereas group 3 had the longest (45 months) (239 months). Conclusions The majority of second primary cancer cases occurred during the first 120 months following the diagnosis of the first original malignancy. Individuals who had primary OC prior to BC had better prognoses, whereas patients who had synchronous BC and OC had worse prognoses.

Abstract
With improved survival, more patients with prior breast cancer are at risk of having a second primary cancer diagnosed. The pattern and impact of second primary cancers following breast cancer is important for overall breast cancer therapeutic management. Our study is a first analysis of the trend of second primary tumours over time in terms of incidence, sites with significantly elevated risks and correlation with stage, molecular subtype and therapeutic strategies conducted in Eastern Europe in postmenopausal women with breast cancer. Patients and methods: Our study population included 28 patients with prior breast cancer (BC) and second primary tumours, which were diagnosed and treated in our Institution between 2004 and 2017. The criteria for selection were based on the completeness of the documentation of the first treatment for breast cancer, stage of disease, molecular subtype, the site of origin of the second tumours and the survival data. Results: An increased risk of second primary cancer was associated with the 51–60 years age group (53.6%), with the greater prevalence in patients living in urban environments (82.1%). The use of chemotherapy increased the risk of the occurrence of gynecological second malignancies (75%). Our study is a first analysis of the trend of second primary tumours over time in terms of identifying sites with significantly elevated risks and correlation with therapeutic strategies conducted in Eastern Europe in postmenopausal women with breast cancer. Conclusions: Our study is a first analysis of the trend of second primary tumours over time in terms of correlation with luminal subtype and stage at diagnosis of primary cancer sites with significantly elevated risks and correlation with therapeutic strategies in postmenopausal women with breast cancer conducted in Eastern Europe. The reported time from primary to second primary malignancy onset, with a significantly higher rate for postmenopausal breast cancer patients, was less than one year (50%). With the advances and wider availability of genetic testing (e.g., gene panels), patients diagnosed with multiple primaries should be increasingly investigated for an underlying cancer predisposition. Postmenopausal women with breast cancer may benefit from increased surveillance and advice to avoid second malignancies.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the risk factors of second primary cancer among female breast cancer (BC) survivors, with emphasis on the prediction of the individual risk conditioned on the patient's characteristics. We identified 208,474 BC patients diagnosed between 2004 and 2010 from the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database. Subdistribution proportional hazard model and competing-risk nomogram were used to explore the risk factors of second primary BC and non-BC, and to predict the 5- and 10-year probabilities of second primary BC. Model performance was evaluated via calibration curves and decision curve analysis. The overall 3-, 5-, and 10-year cumulative incidences for second primary BC were 0.9%, 1.6% and 4.4%, and for second primary non-BC were 2.3%, 3.9%, and 7.8%, respectively. Age over 70 years at diagnosis, black race, tumor size over 2 cm, negative hormone receptor, mixed histology, localized tumor, lumpectomy alone, and surgeries plus radiotherapy were significantly associated with increased risk of second BC. The risk of second non-BC was only related to age, race and tumor size. The proposed risk model as well as its nomogram was clinically beneficial to identify patients at high risk of developing second primary breast cancer.

Abstract
PURPOSE The prevalence of breast cancer survivors has increased due to dissemination of population-based mammographic screening and improved treatments. Recent changes in anti-hormonal therapies for breast cancer may have modified the risks of subsequent urological and genital cancers. We examine the risk of subsequent primary urological and genital cancers in patients with incident breast cancer compared with risks in the general population. METHODS Using population-based Danish medical registries, we identified a cohort of women with primary breast cancer (1990-2017). We followed them from one year after their breast cancer diagnosis until any subsequent urological or genital cancer diagnosis. We computed incidence rates and standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) as the observed number of cancers relative to the expected number based on national incidence rates (by sex, age, and calendar year). RESULTS Among 84,972 patients with breast cancer (median age 61 years), we observed 623 urological cancers and 1397 genital cancers during a median follow-up of 7.4 years. The incidence rate per 100,000 person-years was stable during follow-up (83 for urological cancers and 176 for genital cancers). The SIR was increased for ovarian cancer (1.37, 95% CI 1.23-1.52) and uterine cancer (1.37, 95% CI 1.25-1.50), but only during the pre-aromatase inhibitor era (before 2007). Moreover, the SIR of kidney cancer was increased (1.52, 95% CI 1.15-1.97), but only during 2007-2017. The SIR for urinary bladder cancer was marginally increased (1.15, 95% CI 1.04-1.28) with no temporal effects. No associations were observed for cervical cancer. CONCLUSION Breast cancer survivors had higher risks of uterine and ovarian cancer than expected, but only before 2007, and of kidney cancer, but only after 2007. The risk of urinary bladder cancer was moderately increased without temporal effects, and we observed no association with cervical cancer.

Abstract
Background: With the improvement in the prognostic outcomes of multiple malignancies, the population of cancer survivors is growing rapidly and is at higher risk of developing secondary ovarian cancer. However, the prevalence and clinical outcomes of prior cancer among newly diagnosed ovarian cancer patients remain unknown. Methods: Patients diagnosed with ovarian cancer between 2004 and 2015 were identified using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database. Patients were divided into two groups based on whether there was a prior malignancy. A multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to calculate all-cause and ovarian-specific survival. Furthermore, we conducted subgroup survival analyses of patients stratified by previous cancer site to explore the associations between prior cancer site and survival outcomes. Results: A total of 52,182 patients with primary ovarian cancer were identified, and 3.6% (n=1,860) had a documented prior malignancy. In multivariate analyses, patients with prior malignancies had a worse all-cause and ovarian cancer-specific prognosis than those without. In subset analyses, patients with a history of thyroid cancer had a better all-cause and ovarian cancer-specific prognosis, and patients with prior colorectal, urinary system, skin, lung, haematologic and stomach cancers were at risk of decreased survival compared to that of patients without a prior cancer. Conclusions: Prior malignancy has an adverse impact on the survival of patients with ovarian cancer, and the impact on prognostic outcomes varies by different prior cancer sites. The inconsistent survival effects of previous malignancies should be considered in clinical trial design and recruitment.

Abstract
Breast cancer and ovarian cancer are closely related. The major common risk factors of these 2 types of cancer are likely genetic factors. However, few studies have shown any common characteristics in patients who have both types of these 2 cancers. The purpose of this retrospective study is to explore the clinical characteristics and survival outcomes of patients with both primary breast cancer and primary ovarian cancer.A cohort of patients who had a history of both primary breast cancer and primary ovarian cancer were enrolled, and they received treatment in the Peking Union Medical College Hospital between January 1, 2010, and December 31, 2018. Both descriptive statistics analysis and survival analysis were performed for analysis.A total of 114 patients with both primary breast cancer and primary ovarian cancer were included in the study. The median (range) follow-up was 129.5 (20-492) months. The average interval time between the diagnosis of 2 types of cancer was 79.4 months in patients having ovarian cancer firstly and was 115.9 months in patients having breast cancer firstly. The 5- and 10-year overall survival (OS) rates were 91.5% and 81.7% for patients with ovarian cancer following breast cancer, respectively, and 90.6% and 87.5% for patients with breast cancer following ovarian cancer, respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed that independent predictors of OS were the age of diagnosis of the first tumor and the time interval between two types of tumor in patients with ovarian cancer following breast cancer.Most breast cancer or ovarian cancer occurred within 5 years after being diagnosed with the first tumor, and the interval time was significantly shorter in patients with previous ovarian cancer. The prognosis is likely positively correlated to the interval time between the occurrences of two types of cancer.

Abstract
This study reviews the relevant epidemiological studies associating cutaneous melanoma and breast carcinomas and provides an overview of the possible genetic, biological and bias factors that underpin this relationship. Standardised incidence ratio (SIR) for primary cutaneous melanoma after breast carcinoma ranged from 1.16 to 5.13 and ranged from 1.03 to 4.10 for primary breast carcinoma after cutaneous melanoma. Epidemiological studies highlight age, gender and use of radiotherapy and chemotherapy as potential risk factors for second primary cancers (SPCs). Mutations in BRCA2, CDKN2A, CDK4 and BAP1 may partly underlie any SPC association. The impact of socio-cultural factors and surveillance bias may be attributed to the findings of SPC partially or entirely. In conclusion, this study has highlighted the association between breast carcinoma and melanoma and identified various factors for further research and the optimised management of patients with both cancers.

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
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of new primary malignancies after adult-type granulosa cell tumor (AGCT) and the incidence of AGCT after breast and uterine cancer using nationwide population-based registry data. METHODS We used the Finnish Cancer Registry to identify all patients diagnosed with AGCT in 1968 to 2013 (n = 986). The number of subsequent primary malignancies among women with AGCT and the number of AGCTs in women with previous breast or uterine cancer were compared with the expected number of cases and expressed as standardized incidence ratios (SIRs). RESULTS There were 122 cases of subsequent cancers diagnosed at least 6 months after the primary diagnosis of AGCT (SIR, 1.09; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.91-1.3). In particular, the observed number of cancers of the soft tissue (SIR, 4.13; 95% CI, 1.33-12.8), thyroid (SIR, 3.42; 95% CI, 1.54-7.62), and leukemia (SIR, 2.67; 95% CI, 0.98-5.82) exceeded the number of expected cases. The SIR for breast cancers after AGCT was 1.26 (95% CI, 0.92-1.73), and the SIR for AGCT after breast cancer was 1.59 (95% CI, 1.04-2.29). The risk for subsequent AGCT was more than 2-fold in breast cancer patients younger than 50 years, and over 15 years after primary diagnosis. CONCLUSIONS There is an increased risk for thyroid and soft tissue cancer as well as leukemia after AGCT, which may be associated with late effects of carcinogenic treatments and possibly shared risk factors. After breast cancer, the risk for AGCT was higher, which may indicate a shared hormonal etiology.

Abstract
Background Patients with primary breast cancer following primary ovarian cancer do not comprise a large clinical entity, and reports of the survival outcomes of this cohort are rare. The purpose of this retrospective population-based research was to investigate the survival outcomes of patients with primary breast cancer after primary ovarian cancer. Material/Methods A cohort of patients diagnosed with primary breast cancer following primary ovarian cancer between 1973 and 2014 was drawn from the National Cancer Institute’s Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database. Cox proportional hazards survival regression analysis and Kaplan-Meier were applied to calculate overall survival (OS), cancer-specific survival (CSS), and independent predictors of CSS. Results A total of 1455 patients with primary breast cancer following primary ovarian cancer were identified. The 5-year and 10-year OS rates for the entire cohort were 81.7% and 67.4%, respectively. The 5-year and 10-year CSS rates were 84.2% and 74.3% for ovarian cancer, and 76.0% and 67.8% for breast cancer, respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed that independent predictors of ovarian cancer CSS include age, cancer stage, diagnosis time, and histological subtype. Conclusions Patients diagnosed with breast cancer following ovarian cancer have better survival rates. Patients age, ovarian cancer stage, ovarian cancer histological type, and time of diagnose affect the survival rate.

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
Serum circulating microRNAs (c‐miRNAs) are serving as useful biomarkers for cancer diagnosis. Here, we describe the development of a one‐step branched rolling circle amplification (BRCA) method to measure serum c‐miRNAs levels for early diagnosis of breast cancer. Four c‐miRNAs, c‐miRNA16 (c‐miR‐16), c‐miRNA21 (c‐miR‐21), c‐miRNA155 (c‐miR‐155), and c‐miRNA195 (c‐miR‐195) were isolated from the serum of 49 breast cancer patients (stages I‐IV) and 19 healthy controls, and analyzed using one‐step BRCA. The serum levels of c‐miR16, c‐miR21, c‐miR155, and c‐miR195 were higher (P < 0.0001) in stage I breast cancer patients than healthy controls. These levels were also higher in several breast cancer molecular subtypes (HER‐2 over‐expression, Luminal A, Luminal B, and triple negative breast cancer) than in healthy control subjects. The diagnostic accuracy of c‐miR16, c‐miR21, c‐miR155, and c‐miR195 for early diagnosis of breast cancer was confirmed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve assay. These results show that the BRCA method can be used to measure serum c‐miRNAs levels, and that this method has high accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity. Moreover, both BRCA approach and quantitative real‐time PCR (qRT‐PCR) method show that the serum levels of c‐miR16, c‐miR21, c‐miR155, and c‐miR195 could be used as biomarkers to improve the early diagnosis of breast cancer, and distinguish different breast cancer molecular subtypes.

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.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The literature to date has suggested a potential increase in colorectal cancer (CRC) among patients with breast cancer. METHODS We performed a systematic review of the literature and included 37 retrospective cohort studies and 8 case-control studies. The primary aim was to determine the prevalence of CRC. Secondary aims included analysis of adenomatous polyps and analysis of CRC prevalence by age. We calculated pooled prevalence rates and odds ratios (ORs) using random effects models with 95% confidence intervals (CI). RESULTS We identified 1,055,917 individuals with breast cancer among whom 9097 cases of CRC were detected. The pooled event rate for CRC was 0.7% (95% CI, 0.6%-0.9%; I2=97%). Four case-control studies reported prevalence of CRC (N=17,873 patients with breast cancer and 70,366 controls), including 46 cases of CRC in the patients with breast cancer, and 272 CRC in the controls (OR, 1.2; 95% CI, 0.4%-3.7%; P = .7). Six studies reported prevalence of advanced adenomas in patients with breast cancer (N=1087) compared with controls (N=1356) with 62 cases of advanced adenomas in patients compared with 47 in the controls (OR, 1.5; 95% CI, 0.97-2.2; P = .07). In patients with breast cancer <50 years old (4 studies, N=64,706), the pooled OR was increased (OR, 2.5; 95% CI, 1.7-3.5; P =.001). In 3 studies of women <45 years old (N=92,594), the risk was increased (OR, 2.3; 95% CI, 1.7-2.6; P < .001). CONCLUSIONS Patients with breast cancer should not undergo CRC screening at intervals different from the general population. In patients with breast cancer <50 years old, CRC screening should be considered at age 45 years.

Abstract
Nowadays, the risk of developing second primary cancers among women diagnosed with prior breast cancer represents a public health issue worldwide.Twenty-eight cases of the primary breast cancer with the multiple primary cancers (MPC) between 2008 and 2015 at our hospital were retrospectively analyzed in regards to age of patients, family history, interval time of the 2 cancers, and survival time of these patients.A total 28 cases were analyzed, at the mean age of 44.57 years at the diagnosis of the first primary cancer. The most common primary cancer in these breast cancer patients was contralateral breast cancer. Of 28 patients with breast cancer, 16 developed a second malignant tumor of the opposite breast, there were no significant difference both median age at first breast cancer and second breast cancer (P > .05). The difference of interval time of 2 cancers also had no statistical significance. There was no statistically significant difference in overall survival between the bilateral primary breast cancers (BPBC) group and the group of breast cancer patients who diagnosed with another cancer (P > .05). If we grouped patients age of diagnosed with the first cancer (<45, ≥45 years), no statistical different between 2 groups (P > .05). However, the survival time with positive-node patients was lower than in patients with node-negative, the difference had a notable significant difference (P < .01). And there are 3 cases had a positive family history for malignant tumor in the form of first-degree relative.Multiple primary carcinoma in patients with prior breast cancer is not the influencing factor of prognosis. It is crucial to detect, diagnose, and treat cancers at their early stage for improving the cure rate of cancer and the survival rate of patients.

Abstract
Adenosquamous carcinoma of the breast is a rare cancer that develops as glands and tubules admixed with solid nests of squamous cells in a spindle cell background. Furthermore, its occurrence following AML is also rare. To the best of our knowledge, based on a review of the relevant literature, thus far there have not been any welldocumented cases. In the present case report, we report on a middle-aged woman with a 2year history of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who was admitted to hospital due to a mass in the right breast, with concurrent cutaneous lesions on the breast. The clinical and pathological investigations resulted in the diagnosis of adenosquamous carcinoma of the breast. The patient underwent a modified radical mastectomy (MRM). Subsequently, the patient received chemotherapy, involved-field radiation therapy and target therapy. At 9 months after the final cycle of chemotherapy, and while she was on targeted therapy with trastuzumab (6 mg administered every 3 weeks), the patient presented with extensive dermatomal skin lesions. A biopsy report revealed metastatic lesions of invasive ductal carcinoma in the abdomen, so chemotherapy resumed with a course lasting for 6 cycles, with the identical treatments, but lacking trastuzumab.

Abstract
Rates of thyroid cancer in women with a history of breast cancer are higher than expected. Similarly, rates of breast cancer in those with a history of thyroid cancer are increased. Explanations for these associations include detection bias, shared hormonal risk factors, treatment effect, and genetic susceptibility. With increasing numbers of breast and thyroid cancer survivors, clinicians should be particularly cognizant of this association. Here, we perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of the literature utilizing PubMed and Scopus search engines to identify all publications studying the incidence of breast cancer as a secondary malignancy following a diagnosis of thyroid cancer or thyroid cancer following a diagnosis of breast cancer. This demonstrated an increased risk of thyroid cancer as a secondary malignancy following breast cancer [OR = 1.55; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.44-1.67] and an increased risk of breast cancer as a secondary malignancy following thyroid cancer (OR = 1.18; 95% CI, 1.09-1.26). There is a clear increase in the odds of developing either thyroid or breast cancer as a secondary malignancy after diagnosis with the other. Here, we review this association and current hypothesis as to the cause of this correlation.

Abstract
Background Cancer survivors are at risk of developing second and subsequent primary cancers, referred to as multiple primary cancers (MPCs). It is not clear whether the risk of MPCs has increased over recent decades, but increasing use of radiological imaging and potentially harmful effects of certain cancer treatments raise this possibility. A systematic review was undertaken to assess whether there has been a temporal change in the risk of developing MPCs. Methods A systematic search to identify population-based studies of MPCs was performed in Medline/PubMed and Embase databases from inception to August 2016. Included studies were those reporting risk of MPCs for all sites combined following a first cancer at any site or a specific site, using standard incidence ratios (SIRs) or equivalent, and with analysis stratified by calendar years. Results We identified 28 articles eligible for inclusion, comprising 26 population-based studies and two monographs. MPC incidence was reported in nearly 6.5 million cancer survivors. For all first cancer sites combined, a higher rate of MPCs was reported in more recent than earlier calendar periods in four of the six relevant studies. The SIRs ranged from 1.14 for a first cancer diagnosis in the early 1980s to 1.21–1.46 in the late 1990s in the USA and Australia. Two studies from Italy and France showed no significant difference in SIRs across time periods 1978–2010 and 1989–2004. The remaining 22 studies reported various temporal trends in the risk of developing MPCs after a first cancer at a specific site, but most showed little change. Conclusion Overall, the risk of developing MPCs appears to have increased since the 1980s when considering studies of all primary cancer sites combined from the USA and Australia but not from Europe. With the introduction of more routine nuclear medical imaging over the last 15 years, more studies are needed to confirm recent trends of MPC risk in adult cancer survivors.

Abstract
PURPOSE Improvements in early detection and treatment have resulted in improved long-term survival from breast cancer, which increases the likelihood of the occurrence of second primary cancers. We calculated the risk of second primary cancers among Israeli women receiving a first primary breast cancer diagnosis. METHODS By using data from the Israel National Cancer Registry, we identified 46,090 women with invasive breast cancer diagnosed between 1990 and 2006 and non-breast primary cancers diagnosed subsequent to breast cancer diagnosis. We used life table analysis to calculate the risk of a second primary cancer and calculated standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) by using age-specific cancer risk in the general population of Israeli women as the standard and stratifying by diagnosis period (1992 to 1996, 1997 to 2001, 2002 to 2006) and age at diagnosis (< 50 and ≥ 50 years). RESULTS The probability of a second malignancy was 3.6% within 5 years, 8.2% within 10 years, and 13.9% within 15 years. The SIR for any second non-breast primary cancer was 1.26 (95% CI, 1.23 to 1.30). Significantly increased risks of colorectal, uterine, lung, ovarian, and thyroid cancer and leukemia were observed for the full follow-up period, which persisted after excluding the first 6 months after index diagnosis, although increased leukemia and colorectal cancer risks were no longer statistically significant. Women younger than age 50 years at initial diagnosis had a greater excess risk than women age 50 years and older (SIR, 1.77 [95% CI, 1.63 to 1.91] and 1.20 [95% CI, 1.15 to 1.24], respectively). CONCLUSION The findings likely reflect a combination of personal risk factors (genetics, hormonal therapy, environmental exposures) as well as the effects of the initial cancer treatment and are unlikely to be explained by enhanced surveillance alone.

Abstract
PURPOSE Newly developed extra-mammary multiple primary cancers (MPCs) are an issue of concern when considering the management of breast cancer survivors. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of MPCs and to evaluate the implications of MPCs on the survival of breast cancer patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 8204 patients who underwent surgery at Severance Hospital between 1990 and 2012 were retrospectively selected. Clinicopathologic features and survival over follow-up periods of ≤5 and >5 years were investigated using univariate and multivariate analyses. RESULTS During a mean follow-up of 67.3 months, 962 MPCs in 858 patients (10.5%) were detected. Synchronous and metachronous MPCs were identified in 23.8% and 79.0% of patients, respectively. Thyroid cancer was the most prevalent, and the second most common was gynecologic cancer. At ≤5 years, patients with MPCs were older and demonstrated significantly worse survival despite a higher proportion of patients with lower-stage MPCs. Nevertheless, an increased risk of death in patients with MPCs did not reach statistical significance at >5 years. The causes of death in many of the patients with MPCs were not related to breast cancer. Stage-matched analysis revealed that the implications of MPCs on survival were more evident in the early stages of breast disease. CONCLUSION Breast cancer patients with MPCs showed worse survival, especially when early-stage disease was identified. Therefore, it is necessary to follow screening programs in breast cancer survivors and to establish guidelines for improving prognosis and quality of life.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the scientific evidence and the risk of second primary cancers in women diagnosed with a first primary breast cancer. METHODS The literature was searched in Pubmed and Embase and included studies published up to June 2013, using population-based data and IARC/AICR codification rules for multiple primary cancers. A qualitative synthesis was carried out and the methodological quality of the studies evaluated. Standardised incidence ratios (SIRs) on second cancer risk, weighted by the standard error of each study, were pooled using fixed and random effects models. SIRs were also pooled by age at diagnosis (<50 and ≥ 50 years), and time since diagnosis of the first breast cancer (<10 and ≥ 10 years). RESULTS 15 out of 710 articles fulfilled the inclusion criteria. All of them were retrospective cohort studies either population-based (13 studies) or hospital-based studies (2 studies). The studies varied with respect to number of cases, selection criteria, definition of multiple primary cancers, and the second cancer sites included. SIRs reported in these studies for all cancers combined varied from 1.0 to 1.4. The pooled SIR estimate for second cancer risk was 1.17 (95% CI: 1.10-1.25). By age groups, SIR estimates were 1.51 (95% CI: 1.35-1.70) for women younger than 50 years and 1.11 (95% CI: 1.02-1.21) for those who were older. Women with breast cancer are at risk of second cancers within the first 10 years after the first breast cancer diagnosis (SIR: 1.19; 95% CI: 1.06-1.33), and thereafter (SIR: 1.26; 95% CI: 1.05-1.52). CONCLUSION This higher risk of second cancers in women diagnosed with a first primary breast cancer with respect to the general population emphasises the importance of prevention and control policies aimed at reducing incidence of second cancers.

Abstract
Basal cell adenocarcinoma (BCAC) is a rare tumour of the salivary glands and often associated with a good prognosis. The present case had BCAC of the parotid gland as the second primary tumour in addition to breast cancer. The patient was a 66-year-old woman who underwent mastectomy due to breast cancer. She then underwent adjuvant chemotherapy and adjuvant hormone therapy. After 4 years of disease-free follow-up, the patient presented with a swelling on the left cheek. The examination of the biopsy specimen revealed BCAC of the parotid gland. The patient then underwent left parathyroidectomy plus left neck dissection. Adjuvant radiotherapy was performed. Despite the therapy, the patient developed four local recurrences within 1 year, and then developed metastasis to the pleura. A swelling in the parotid gland in a patient with breast cancer should be carefully screened for the presence of a second primary tumour.
