Abstract
Inflammation could be related to cancer-related cognitive impairment (CRCI) and might be used as a predictive marker of long-term CRCI. We evaluated associations between inflammatory markers assessed at diagnosis of breast cancer and CRCI two years afterwards. Newly diagnosed stage I-III patients with breast cancer from the French CANTO-Cog (Cognitive sub-study of CANTO, NCT01993498) were included at diagnosis (baseline). Serum inflammatory markers (IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, TNFα, CRP) were assessed at baseline. Outcomes at year 2 post-baseline included overall cognitive impairment (≥ 2 impaired domains) and the following domains: episodic memory, working memory, attention, processing speed, and executive functions. Multivariable logistic regression models evaluated associations between markers and outcomes, controlling for age, education, and baseline cognitive impairment. Among 200 patients, the mean age was 54 ± 11 years, with 127 (64%) receiving chemotherapy. Fifty-three (27%) patients had overall cognitive impairment at both timepoints. Overall cognitive impairment at year 2 was associated with high (> 3 mg/L) baseline CRP (OR = 2.84, 95%CI: 1.06–7.64, p = 0.037). In addition, associations were found between high CRP and processing speed impairment (OR = 2.47, 95%CI:1.05–5.87, p = 0.039), and between high IL-6 and episodic memory impairment (OR = 5.50, 95%CI:1.43–36.6, p = 0.010). In this cohort, high levels of CRP and IL-6 assessed at diagnosis were associated with overall CRCI, processing speed and episodic memory impairments two years later. These findings suggest a potential inflammatory basis for long-term CRCI. CRP may represent an easily measurable marker in clinical settings and be potentially used to screen patients at greater risk of persistent CRCI.
期刊介绍:
Breast Cancer Research is an international, peer-reviewed online journal, publishing original research, reviews, editorials and reports. Open access research articles of exceptional interest are published in all areas of biology and medicine relevant to breast cancer, including normal mammary gland biology, with special emphasis on the genetic, biochemical, and cellular basis of breast cancer. In addition to basic research, the journal publishes preclinical, translational and clinical studies with a biological basis, including Phase I and Phase II trials.
