Materials & methods: CDK4/6i treatment was analyzed using healthcare administrative databases covering 18% of Italians between January 2017 and June 2022. Results: Among CDK4/6i-treated women, palbociclib and abemaciclib (were more frequently combined with fulvestrant, while ribociclib with aromatase inhibitors. CDK4/6i recommended doses were initiated in 72–90% patients and maintained after 3–6 months in respectively 65–57% women. Frontline CDK4/6i use grew over time (reaching 90%). Median time-to-treatment discontinuation was 11.0 months in palbociclib, 15.9 in abemaciclib and 15.4 in ribociclib cohorts. Conclusion: CDK4/6i plus endocrine therapy is increasingly utilized as first-line therapy, with low proportions of dose reductions within 6 months and discontinuations at 1 year.","PeriodicalId":43086,"journal":{"name":"Breast Cancer Management","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139371231","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Aim: The study aimed to evaluate the prophetic role of the prolactin receptor (PRLR) in TNBC stratification. Materials & methods: In a retrospective study, 58 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tumor tissues from patients diagnosed with TNBC were examined for PRLR expression using immunohistochemistry. The potential associations between PRLR expression and tumor characteristics were assessed. Result: PRLR expression was negative in 36 (62%) patients and positive in 22 (38%) patients. The number of positive PRLR tumors was significantly higher in patients without lymph node involvement (p = 0.019).

Treatment is largely extrapolated from female breast cancer due to lack of data in MBC. However, there are distinct features of MBC that warrant different treatment approach. We aim to better characterize the risk factors, clinicopathologic features, treatment and outcome of MBC patients from six hospitals across Steward Healthcare Network. Materials & methods: A total of 107 men with breast cancer were identified from the respective cancer registry at Steward and 64 patients were included with complete medical records. Their clinical, histopathological and treatment records were retrospectively reviewed. Kaplan–Meier method was used to determine the 5, 10 year overall survival (OS) rate and relapse free survival rate and Cox Regression test was used to assess the association between patient outcome and age at diagnosis, metastasis status at time of diagnosis, tumor size, nodal involvement and use of chemotherapy. Results: Of these 64 patients, median age at diagnosis was 68 years, majority of patients were white, 13 patients had family history of breast or ovarian cancer (20.3%), four patients tested positive for BRCA2 (6.25). Majority of patients presented painless breast lump. A total of 59 patients (92.2%) had invasive ductal carcinoma, and 31 patients (48.4%) had lymph node involvement at time of diagnosis. A total of 62 patients (96.8%) had M0 disease at time of diagnosis. About 97% of patients had estrogen receptor (ER) positive cancer. Most patients underwent mastectomy (87.5%), 35 patients (54.6%) received adjuvant radiation therapy, 19 patients (30%) received adjuvant chemotherapy and 96.7% of patients received adjuvant hormonal therapy. The median follow-up was 71.5 months (range 6–250 months), 5-year survival rate was 86.9% (95% CI: 74.5–93.6%), 5-year relapse free survival rate was 89.9% (95% CI: 77.4–95.7%) and 10-year survival rate was 58.1% (95% CI: 41.0–71.8%). The presence of distant metastasis at the time of initial diagnosis was the only factor associated with shorter OS (hazard ratio: 22.54, p < 0.0001). Conclusion: Majority of MBC patients present with palpable breast mass and the tumors are almost exclusively hormone receptor positive. Majority of patients present without distant metastasis and received surgical therapy; however, only a small subset of patients received breast conserving surgery for T1 tumor. Almost all patients received adjuvant hormonal therapy. OS and relapse free survival in our cohort is similar to historic reports in female breast cancer.","PeriodicalId":43086,"journal":{"name":"Breast Cancer Management","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47884134","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This review article systematically determines incremental accuracy and other parameters of current methods, including sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value with regard to breast MRI as a screening tool for women under 50 years. Articles were included from the databases of health technology assessment agencies from 2000 to 2019, using various medical subject heading terms. A total of 23 eligible studies were included incorporating a total of 11,688 patients out of which two were multicentered, four were accuracy studies, seven were prospective studies and four were retrospective studies. MRI screening showed an adequate detection of invasive cancers, premalignant lesions and pre-invasive cancers, suggesting that MRI is a powerful surveillance tool to detect cancer in high-risk populations.

Purpose: This review reports both the existing literature and patient experience surrounding the application of osteopathy as an effective treatment for pain in breast cancer patients. Results: Both the literature and this case study support, to some degree, the benefits of osteopathy as pain management for breast cancer patients. Conclusion: Due to contradictory reported findings, more studies would be required to make firm conclusions, especially within a Canadian context. However, a lack of standardization of osteopathic procedures and collaboration between osteopaths and traditional healthcare professionals are challenges in including osteopathy as a standard service offered to breast cancer patients.","PeriodicalId":43086,"journal":{"name":"Breast Cancer Management","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47225916","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to document the acceptability and compliance of the breast cancer prevention campaigns. Materials & methods: Healthy women aged 35–65 years were recruited from various regions of the Northwest of Iran. All women were invited to participate in self-examination training for the breast and then re-assessed by clinical examination and mammography. Results: A total of 321 healthy women were recruited, and volunteered to undergo at least one breast self-examination. The first and second clinical examinations were conducted on all women. Ultimately, 272 women (84.7%) underwent mammography. The most common barriers to screening were found to be fear of positive results, fear of cancer, lack of knowledge, fear of the mammography procedure and pain, travel distance and costs. Conclusion: The most critical challenge for implementing a breast cancer prevention program was the lack of knowledge and attitude.","PeriodicalId":43086,"journal":{"name":"Breast Cancer Management","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45979134","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
