The symptom burden of women with a known risk of breast cancer receiving risk reducing medication
Background
For the estimated 10 million women in the United States who meet the high-risk criteria for breast cancer, evidence-based interventions may reduce the risk of breast cancer by 50–65 %. Even with substantial evidence supporting preventive medication for risk reduction, there is significant lack of uptake and adherence. The purpose of this study was to characterize the experience of women at high risk for breast cancer and define the content domain for a patient-reported outcomes (PRO) measure of symptom burden from breast cancer risk and risk reducing medication.
Methods
Thirty women at high risk for breast cancer and receiving risk reducing medication participated in single qualitative interviews. Content analysis was used to identify the symptom burden. An expert panel review rated the relevance of symptoms identified in the qualitative interviews to establish the items for inclusion in a PRO symptom burden measure.
Results
Participants had a mean age of 54.6 years; 43.3 % self-identified as Hispanic and 20.0 % self-identified as Black. Content analysis found 20 symptoms related to both risk and preventive treatment, with 8 symptoms reported by ≥ 20 % of women. All women described distress related to their risk and preventive care. Treatment-related symptoms varied based on history of risk-reducing surgery and type of endocrine therapy. Women described symptom-related interference with relationships, work, enjoyment of life, and adherence to risk reducing medication.
Conclusions
Women with a known high risk of breast cancer and receiving preventive care experience a unique symptom burden including multiple symptoms and functional impact related to symptoms.
期刊介绍:
Cancer Treatment and Research Communications is an international peer-reviewed publication dedicated to providing comprehensive basic, translational, and clinical oncology research. The journal is devoted to articles on detection, diagnosis, prevention, policy, and treatment of cancer and provides a global forum for the nurturing and development of future generations of oncology scientists. Cancer Treatment and Research Communications publishes comprehensive reviews and original studies describing various aspects of basic through clinical research of all tumor types. The journal also accepts clinical studies in oncology, with an emphasis on prospective early phase clinical trials. Specific areas of interest include basic, translational, and clinical research and mechanistic approaches; cancer biology; molecular carcinogenesis; genetics and genomics; stem cell and developmental biology; immunology; molecular and cellular oncology; systems biology; drug sensitivity and resistance; gene and antisense therapy; pathology, markers, and prognostic indicators; chemoprevention strategies; multimodality therapy; cancer policy; and integration of various approaches. Our mission is to be the premier source of relevant information through promoting excellence in research and facilitating the timely translation of that science to health care and clinical practice.
