Breast-conserving Surgery Rates in Breast Cancer Patients With Different Molecular Subtypes: An Observational Study Based on Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Database.

ABSTRACT: This study used the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database to compare breast-conserving surgery (BCS) rates across patients with different molecular subtypes.We identified female breast cancer patients who were diagnosed between 2010 and 2012 using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database. Patients without available critical clinicopathological information were excluded. The chi-square test and logistic regression analysis were used to investigate factors associated with BCS.This study identified 85,415 T1-2N0-3M0 breast cancer patients. Among the patients with HR+/HER2-, HR+/HER2+, HR-/HER2+, and HR-/HER2- diseases, 63.5% (38,823/61,142), 51.2% (4850/9473), 43.2% (1740/4030), and 55.7% (6000/10,770), respectively, received BCS (P < 0.01). Patients with HR-/HER2+ (odds ratio 0.58; 95% confidence interval, 0.54-0.62) disease were significantly less likely to receive BCS than patients with HR+/HER2- disease after adjustment for T-stage, N-stage, age, tumor grade, county type, and race. Differences in BCS rates between the HR+/HER2- and HR-/HER2+ subgroups were 29.1%, 14.0%, 10.1%, 8.5%, and 0.2% in patients with tumor sizes <10 mm, 10 to 20 mm, 20 to 30 mm, 30 to 40 mm, and 40 to 50 mm, respectively. Differences in BCS rates between the HR+/HER2- and HR-/HER2+ subgroups were 20.3% and 5.7% in node-negative and node-positive patients, respectively. BCS rates in patients with grades I, II, and III tumors in the HR+/HER2- and HR-/HER2+ subgroups were 72.2% and 34.6%, 62.7% and 42.3%, and 54.7% and 43.4%, respectively.Our study demonstrated that BCS rates varied significantly across molecular subtypes, especially in patients with lower tumor burden. HR+/HER2- and HR-/HER2+ patients exhibited the highest and lowest BCS rates, respectively.

Project description:BackgroundRecently, immunotherapy (IO) has shown striking survival improvement in unresectable stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the role of chemo-radiotherapy (CRT) for improvement in outcomes should not be disregarded. This study aimed to compare the treatment patterns and illustrate the impact of radiotherapy on the cancer-specific survival (CSS) and overall survival (OS) of patients with unresected locally advanced stage III NSCLC.MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed the data of patients with stage III NSCLC patients who did not undergo surgery from the National Cancer Institute Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database between 2001 and 2016, and three continuous years were regarded as one unit. Using the Kaplan-Meier method, we identified the CSS and OS. Then, a linear regression model was graphed to analyze the correlation between median survival of CSS or OS and calendar years in the radiotherapy alone, chemotherapy alone, and CRT groups.ResultsA total of 20986 patients were included in this study. In the overall cohort, CSS and OS improved consistently. To explore the reason for the improved survival, patients were divided into three different cohorts: radiotherapy alone, chemotherapy alone, and CRT. From 2001 to 2015, the median CSS improved persistently, 7, 8, 8, 9, and 11 months in the radiotherapy alone group and 12, 13, 15, 17, 19 months in the CRT group, but improvement in outcomes was less consistent in the chemotherapy alone group (10, 9, 11, 12, 12 months). To better visualize the correlation between CSS and calendar year, linear regression was performed, yielding r2 = 0.8032, P = 0.0395 for the radiotherapy alone group; r2 = 0.7206, P = 0.0689 for the chemotherapy alone group; and r2 = 0.9878, P = 0.0006 for the CRT group. Similar findings were observed in the OS data. In addition to this, we also analyzed different pathological types and also obtained the same results.ConclusionsThe survival of patients with unresectable stage III NSCLC has improved substantially, and the most pronounced and consistent improvements were observed in the CRT group. In addition to IO, radiotherapy played an essential role in the treatment of unresectable stage III NSCLC in the past years and should be considered in the design of clinical trials.

Project description:BackgroundTelangiectatic osteosarcoma (TOS) is a rare type of osteosarcoma for which limited clinical data is available. Furthermore, the clinical characteristics and prognosis of TOS remain unclear.MethodsA large population-based cohort analysis was conducted using the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) registry. The data of TOS and conventional osteosarcoma (COS) patients from 2000 to 2017 were collected. The categorical variables were assessed by Chi-squared tests. Kaplan-Meier curves and log-rank (Mantel-Cox) tests were used to examine the survival outcomes between the groups. Cox proportional hazard models were used for univariate and multivariate analyses of TOS patient survival-related variables.ResultsA total of 141 TOS patients and 2961 COS patients were included in this analysis, and the mean age at diagnosis was 23.5 and 29.4 years, respectively. Compared to COS patients, TOS patients were more likely to be under 20 years old (61.7% vs. 51.7%, P=0.022), and without a second peak of incidence after 60 years of age. The median overall survival (mOS) of TOS patients was not reached compared to a median survival of 84 months for COS patients (hazard ratio 0.75, 95% confidence interval 0.59 to 0.95, P=0.0175). After adjusting these data for age at diagnosis, stage, and surgery at the primary site, no significant differences in mOS were observed between the two groups. In univariate analyses, being under 20 years of age, having localized or regional stage disease, and having undergone surgery were associated with a decreased risk of death. Subsequent multivariate analysis indicated that age at diagnosis, stage, and surgery at the primary site were all independent predictors of prognosis in TOS patients.ConclusionsPatients with TOS were younger than patients with COS and did not show a second peak after 60 years of age. Age, summary stage at diagnosis, and surgery at the primary site were independent predictors of survival for TOS patients.
