Postdiagnosis body fatness, weight change and breast cancer prognosis: Global Cancer Update Program (CUP global) systematic literature review and meta-analysis. Int J Cancer 2023; 152:572-599. [PMID: 36279884 PMCID: PMC10092239 DOI: 10.1002/ijc.34322] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 24.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/04/2021] [Revised: 07/29/2022] [Accepted: 09/05/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
Previous evidence on postdiagnosis body fatness and mortality after breast cancer was graded as limited-suggestive. To evaluate the evidence on body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, waist-hip-ratio and weight change in relation to breast cancer prognosis, an updated systematic review was conducted. PubMed and Embase were searched for relevant studies published up to 31 October, 2021. Random-effects meta-analyses were conducted to estimate summary relative risks (RRs). The evidence was judged by an independent Expert Panel using pre-defined grading criteria. One randomized controlled trial and 225 observational studies were reviewed (220 publications). There was strong evidence (likelihood of causality: probable) that higher postdiagnosis BMI was associated with increased all-cause mortality (64 studies, 32 507 deaths), breast cancer-specific mortality (39 studies, 14 106 deaths) and second primary breast cancer (11 studies, 5248 events). The respective summary RRs and 95% confidence intervals per 5 kg/m2 BMI were 1.07 (1.05-1.10), 1.10 (1.06-1.14) and 1.14 (1.04-1.26), with high between-study heterogeneity (I2 = 56%, 60%, 66%), but generally consistent positive associations. Positive associations were also observed for waist circumference, waist-hip-ratio and all-cause and breast cancer-specific mortality. There was limited-suggestive evidence that postdiagnosis BMI was associated with higher risk of recurrence, nonbreast cancer deaths and cardiovascular deaths. The evidence for postdiagnosis (unexplained) weight or BMI change and all outcomes was graded as limited-no conclusion. The RCT showed potential beneficial effect of intentional weight loss on disease-free-survival, but more intervention trials and well-designed observational studies in diverse populations are needed to elucidate the impact of body composition and their changes on breast cancer outcomes.

[PMID: 36549169 PMCID: PMC9795523 DOI: 10.1016/j.breast.2022.12.007] [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: 10/21/2022] [Revised: 12/05/2022] [Accepted: 12/13/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Guidelines for oligometastatic breast cancer (OMBC) propagate multimodality treatment including polychemotherapy and local ablative treatment (LAT) of all lesions. The aim of this approach is prolonged disease remission, or even cure. Long-term outcomes in OMBC and factors associated with prognosis are largely unknown, due to the rarity of this condition. We report overall survival (OS), event-free survival (EFS), and prognostic factors in a large real-world cohort of patients with OMBC. METHODS Patients with breast cancer and 1-3 distant metastatic lesions, treated in the Netherlands Cancer Institute between 1997 and 2020, were identified via text mining of medical files. We collected patient, tumor and treatment characteristics. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate OS and EFS estimates, and Cox regression analyses to assess prognostic factors. RESULTS The cohort included 239 patients, of whom 54% had ERpos/HER2neg, 20% HER2pos and 20% triple negative disease. Median follow-up was 88.0 months (95% confidence interval (CI) 82.9-93.1) during which 107 patients died and 139 developed disease progression/recurrence; median OS was 93.0 months (95%CI 66.2-119.8). Factors associated with OS in multivariable analysis were subtype, disease-free interval and radiologic response to first-line systemic therapy; LAT was associated with EFS, but not OS. CONCLUSIONS In this large real-world cohort of patients with OMBC, OS and EFS compare favorably to survival in the general MBC population. Radiologic complete response to first-line systemic therapy was associated with favorable OS and EFS, indicating the importance of early optimal systemic therapy. The value of LAT in OMBC requires further study.

Clinical Features and Serological Markers Risk Model Predicts Overall Survival in Patients Undergoing Breast Cancer and Bone Metastasis Surgeries. Front Oncol 2021; 11:693689. [PMID: 34604031 PMCID: PMC8484887 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2021.693689] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2021] [Accepted: 08/13/2021] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Surgical therapy of breast cancer and bone metastasis can effectively improve the prognosis of breast cancer. However, after the first operation, the relationship between preoperative indicators and outcomes in patients who underwent metastatic bone surgery remained to be studied. Purpose 1. Recognize clinical and laboratory prognosis factors available to clinical doctors before the operation for bone metastatic breast cancer patients. 2. Develop a risk prediction model for 3-year postoperative survival in patients with breast cancer bone metastasis. Methods From 2014 to 2020, patients who suffered from breast cancer bone metastasis and received therapeutic procedures in our institution were included for analyses (n=145). For patients who underwent both breast cancer radical surgery and bone metastasis surgery, comprehensive datasets of the parameters of interest (clinical features, laboratory factors, and patient prognoses) were collected (n=69). We performed Multivariate Cox regression to identify factors that were associated with postoperative outcome. 3-year survival prediction model and nomograms were established by 100 bootstrapping. Its benefit was evaluated by calibration plot, C-index, and decision curve analysis. The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database was also used for external validation. Results Radiotherapy for primary cancer, pathological type of metastatic breast cancer, lymph node metastasis, elevated serum alkaline phosphatase, lactate dehydrogenase were associated with postoperative prognosis. Pathological types of metastatic breast cancer, multiple bone metastasis, organ metastases, and elevated serum lactate dehydrogenase were associated with 3-year survival. Then those significant variables and serum alkaline phosphatase counts were integrated to construct nomograms for 3-year survival. The C-statistic of the established predictive model was 0.83. The calibration plot presents a graphical representation of calibration. In the decision curve analysis, the benefits are higher than those of the extreme curve. The receiver operating characteristic of the external validation of the model was 0.82, indicating a favored fitting degree of the two models. Conclusion Our study suggests that several clinical features and serological markers can predict the overall survival among the patients who are about to receive bone metastasis surgery after breast cancer surgery. The model can guide the preoperative evaluation and clinical decision-making for patients. Level of evidence Level III, prognostic study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer in women in Japan and the fifth in mortality. This systematic review summarized the evidence for prognostic factors for patients with HR+/HER2- advanced and metastatic breast cancer in Japan. METHODS MEDLINE and EMBASE were searched with keywords 'breast neoplasms' AND 'Japan' AND 'advanced' or equivalent, and Japan Medical Abstract Society database with 'breast cancer' AND 'advanced/metastatic' for publications from January 2010 to October 2019. ASCO, ESMO, ABC4 abstracts and WHO website were hand searched. The endpoints of interest were overall survival, progression-free survival, tumour response and post-progression survival. Factors were evaluated based on the consistency in direction and the strength (hazard ratios) of association. RESULTS Searches identified 4530 publications, of which 27 were eligible. All were observational studies. Among the endpoints, overall survival was the most commonly assessed (n = 22) and evaluated further. Ki-67 expression, progesterone receptor expression status, tumour grade and lymph node metastases were consistently associated with poor overall survival in univariate analysis but not in multivariate analysis. Short disease-free interval, the number of metastatic organs and liver metastasis were consistently associated with poor overall survival in both of univariate and multivariate analysis. The association was strong for liver metastasis (hazard ratio ≥2.8 in the majority of studies) and moderate for disease-free interval and the number of metastatic organs (hazard ratio 1.3-2.8 in the majority of studies). CONCLUSIONS Disease-free interval, the number of metastatic organs and liver metastasis were identified as independent prognostic factors for overall survival. These findings may help clinical decision-making to improve outcomes in patients with HR+/HER2- advanced and metastatic breast cancer.

Prognostic factors in patients with oligometastatic breast cancer - A systematic review. Cancer Treat Rev 2020; 91:102114.

Abstract
AIM Oligometastatic breast cancer (OMBC) is a disease-entity with potential for long-term remission in selected patients. Those with truly limited metastatic load (rather than occult widespread metastatic disease) may benefit from multimodality treatment including local ablative therapy of distant metastases. In this systematic review, we studied factors associated with long-term survival in patients with OMBC. METHODS Eligible studies included patients with OMBC who received a combination of local and systemic therapy as multimodal approach and reported overall survival (OS) or progression-free survival (PFS), or both. The Quality in Prognosis Studies (QUIPS) tool was used to assess the quality of each included study. Independent prognostic factors for OS and/or PFS are summarized. RESULTS Of 1271 screened abstracts, 317 papers were full-text screened and twenty studies were included. Eleven of twenty studies were classified as acceptable quality. Definition of OMBC varied between studies and mostly incorporated the number and/or location of metastases. The 5-year OS ranged between 30 and 79% and 5-year PFS ranged between 25 and 57%. Twelve studies evaluated prognostic factors for OS and/or PFS in multivariable models. A solitary metastasis, >24 months interval between primary tumor and OMBC, no or limited involved axillary lymph nodes at primary diagnosis, and hormone-receptor positivity were associated with better outcome. HER2-positivity was associated with worse outcome, but only few patients received anti-HER2 therapy. CONCLUSIONS OMBC patients with a solitary distant metastasis and >24 months disease-free interval have the best OS and may be optimal candidates to consider a multidisciplinary approach.
