Methods: This study included 165 female patients with unilateral breast cancer who had shoulder joint mobility disorders during chemotherapy within 3 months after surgery. The clinical examination included the maximum active range of motion of the shoulder (flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, external rotation, and internal rotation), pain score (visual analog scale [VAS]), grip strength, and supraspinatus muscle thickness. Results: During shoulder abduction, supraspinatus muscle thickness was greatest at 90°, lowest at 0°, and higher at 60° than at 30° (p<0.01). The factors influencing the active movement of shoulder flexion were the VAS score, body weight, grip strength, and supraspinatus contraction rate (R2=0.295), while the factors influencing active shoulder abduction were the VAS score, body weight, grip strength, supraspinatus muscle thickness (drooping position), and supraspinatus contraction rate (R2=0.295). Moreover, the factors influencing the active movement of shoulder external rotation were age, VAS score, body weight, grip strength, and supraspinatus muscle thickness (drooping position) (R2=0.258). There were no intentional results from multiple linear regressions for shoulder extension, adduction, or internal rotation. Conclusion: Pain, weight, grip strength, supraspinatus muscle thickness, and supraspinatus distensibility are the main factors affecting shoulder flexion, abduction, and external rotation. In addition, supraspinatus muscle thickness and contraction rate may be a new index for assessing shoulder dysfunction.","PeriodicalId":9310,"journal":{"name":"Breast Care","volume":" 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135192742","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Research into biological and molecular pathomechanisms of breast cancer has resulted in the development and adoption of several therapies targeting HER2. In parallel, various escalation/de-escalation strategies have been examined to further optimize patient outcomes and care. Summary: In this review, we highlighted the landmark trials in the evolution of treatment and management of HER2+ early breast cancer. Key Messages: Continuous research over the last two decades has gradually prolonged survival in patients with early HER2+ early breast cancer. Incorporation of post-neoadjuvant setting into clinical practice improved long-term outcomes in high-risk patients with residual disease after neoadjuvant therapy. In parallel, use of modern anti-HER2 agents may potentially allow omission of chemotherapy without compromising the survival in a significant number of selected patients. Current research focused on exploring the molecular heterogeneity of HER2+ breast cancer resulted in identification of new prognostic and predictive biomarkers which could pave the way towards the development of truly personalized therapy.","PeriodicalId":9310,"journal":{"name":"Breast Care","volume":"33 8","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135217933","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While the Prosigna test has been validated for postmenopausal patients, few data are available regarding its use in premenopausal patients. The present study compared the Prosigna test with the Ki-67 index in premenopausal patients. <b><i>Materials and Methods:</i></b> Premenopausal patients with HR+ HER2−, pN0-1, G1-2 EBC were retrospectively enrolled (<i>n</i> = 55). The Prosigna assay was performed in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tumor samples of surgical resection specimens. Ki-67 was reassessed in original diagnostic core needle biopsy specimens and defined as low, intermediate, or high with the threshold of &lt;10%, 10–24%, ≥25%. <b><i>Results:</i></b> According to Ki-67, patients were in the low (LR)-, intermediate (IR)-, and high-risk (HR) groups in 40%, 36%, and 24% of the cases. The Prosigna gene signature assay assessed the risk of recurrence as LR for 45% of the patients, IR for 35%, and HR for 20%. The most frequent intrinsic subtypes were luminal A in 73% and luminal B in 24% of the patients. A moderate correlation was found between Prosigna and Ki-67 scores with a Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.51. In the overall cohort, 47% of the Ki-67-based therapy decision would correspond to those based on the Prosigna score. After exclusion of IR patients, matching of low/low or high/high results was observed in 57% of the cases. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> According to the present study, there is only limited concordance regarding the risk group stratification between Ki-67 and Prosigna-based risk assessment. The relevance and frequency of premenopausal breast cancer emphasizes the need for further evaluation of gene expression analyses in this setting and the correlation with classic clinicopathological parameters regarding therapy decision-making.","PeriodicalId":9310,"journal":{"name":"Breast Care","volume":"141 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135993916","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One treatment option for extended adjuvant treatment in patients with HER2+/HR+ eBC is neratinib; available in Europe for patients who completed adjuvant trastuzumab-based therapy within 1 year. The ELEANOR study is investigating the real-world use of neratinib in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Results from an interim analysis of the first 200 patients observed for ≥3 months are reported. Methods: The primary objective of this prospective, multicentre, observational study is to assess patient adherence to neratinib (defined as percentage of patients taking neratinib on ≥75% prescribed days). Secondary objectives are patient characteristics and treatment outcomes. Results: At cut-off (May 2, 2022), 202 patients had been observed for ≥3 months, with neratinib treatment documented for 187 patients (median age 53.0 years; 67.9% at increased risk of disease recurrence). In total 151 (80.7%) patients had received prior neoadjuvant treatment; of these 82 (54.3%) achieved a pathological complete response. Neratinib was initiated at a median 3.6 months after trastuzumab-based treatment, with 36.4% starting at a dose <240 mg/day. Treatment is ongoing for 46.0% of patients, with median treatment duration of 11.2 (interquartile range 0.9–12.0) months. Diarrhoea was the most common adverse event (78.6% any grade, 20.3% Grade ≥3); pharmacologic prophylaxis was used in 85.6% of patients. Conclusions: The pattern of anti-HER2 pretreatment observed reflected the current treatment for HER2+/HR+ eBC in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. These interim results suggest that neratinib as an extended adjuvant is a feasible option after various anti-HER2 pretreatments, and that its tolerability can be managed and improved with proactive diarrhoea management.
