Association between Extract Rheum rhaponticum 731 (ERr 731) prescription and subsequent breast cancer.
Aims: The special extract ERr 731 from the roots of rhapontic rhubarb has been prescribed for women with menopausal symptoms for more than 30 years. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the association between ERr 731 therapy and subsequent breast cancer in women in a real-world setting. ERr 731 users were compared to women without this therapy as well as women receiving hormone therapy.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included data of women treated by 260 office-based gynecologists in Germany who received a prescription for ERr 731 between 1993 and 2022 (IQVIA Disease Analyzer database). These women were matched to women without ERr 731 prescriptions as well as women with hormone replacement therapy (HRT) prescriptions (1:3) using nearest neighbor propensity scores. A univariate Cox regression analysis was conducted to evaluate the associations between ERr 731 prescription and breast cancer risk compared to women without ERr 731 prescription and women with HRT prescriptions.
Results: A total of 5,686 women with versus 17,058 women without ERr 731 prescription were available for the first analysis, and 2,616 women with ERr 731 prescription (a proportion of the 5,686 women used in the first analysis) and 7,848 women with HRT prescriptions for the second (average age 52-53 years). ERr 731 was not associated with an increased risk of breast cancer diagnosis when the group of women with ERr 731 prescription was compared to women without (OR: 1.01, 95% CI: 0.81-1.26) or to that of women with HRT prescription ((OR: 0.96, 95% CI: 0.69-1.33). No associations were observed in age-stratified analyses or in women with and without menopausal or other perimenopausal disorders.
Conclusion: The present study provides strong evidence that ERr 731 is not associated with an increased risk of breast cancer diagnosis compared to both non-users and HRT users. Given its favorable safety profile, ERr 731 may represent a viable alternative to HRT, particularly for women concerned about breast cancer risk.
期刊介绍：
Breast Cancer Research and Treatment provides the surgeon, radiotherapist, medical oncologist, endocrinologist, epidemiologist, immunologist or cell biologist investigating problems in breast cancer a single forum for communication. The journal creates a "market place" for breast cancer topics which cuts across all the usual lines of disciplines, providing a site for presenting pertinent investigations, and for discussing critical questions relevant to the entire field. It seeks to develop a new focus and new perspectives for all those concerned with breast cancer.
