Bilateral Salpingo-oophorectomy Compared to Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Agonists in Premenopausal Hormone Receptor-Positive Metastatic Breast Cancer Patients Treated with Aromatase Inhibitors.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Although combining aromatase inhibitors (AI) with gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists (GnRHa) is becoming more common, it is still not clear if GnRHa is as effective as bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO).

Materials and methods

We retrospectively analyzed data of 66 premenopausal patients with hormone receptor- positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative recurrent and metastatic breast cancer who had been treated with AIs in combination with GnRHa or BSO between 2002 and 2015.

Results

The median patient age was 44 years. Overall, 24 (36%) received BSO and 42 (64%) received GnRHa. The clinical benefit rate was higher in the BSO group than in the GnRHa group (88% vs. 69%, p=0.092). Median progression-free survival (PFS) was longer in the BSO group, although statistical significance was not reached (17.2 months vs. 13.3 months, p=0.245). When propensity score matching was performed, the median PFS was 17.2 months for the BSO group and 8.2 months for the GnRHa group (p=0.137). Multivariate analyses revealed that the luminal B subtype (hazard ratio, 1.67; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.08 to 2.60; p=0.022) and later-line treatment (? third line vs. first line; hazard ratio, 3.24; 95% CI, 1.59 to 6.59; p=0.001) were independent predictive factors for a shorter PFS. Incomplete ovarian suppression was observed in a subset of GnRHa-treated patients whose disease showed progression, with E2 levels higher than 21 pg/mL.

Conclusion

Both BSO and GnRHa were found to be effective in our AI-treated premenopausal metastatic breast cancer patient cohort. However, further studies in larger populations are needed to determine if BSO is superior to GnRHa.

Project description:BackgroundHysterectomy is one of the most frequent gynecologic surgeries in the United States. Women undergoing hysterectomy are commonly offered bilateral oophorectomy for ovarian and breast cancer prevention. Although bilateral oophorectomy may dramatically reduce the risk of gynecologic cancers, some studies suggested that bilateral oophorectomy may be associated with an increased risk of other types of cancer, such as lung cancer and colorectal cancer. However, the results are conflicting.ObjectiveTo study the association between bilateral oophorectomy and the risk of subsequent cancer of any type.Study designThis population-based cohort study included all premenopausal women who underwent bilateral oophorectomy for a nonmalignant indication before the age of 50, between January 1, 1988 and December 31, 2007 in Olmsted County, Minnesota, and a random sample of age-matched (±1 year) referent women who did not undergo bilateral oophorectomy. Women with cancer before oophorectomy (or index date) or within 6 months after the index date were excluded. Time-to-event analyses were performed to assess the risk of de novo cancer. Cancer diagnosis and type were confirmed using medical record review.ResultsOver a median follow-up of 18 years, the risk of any cancer did not significantly differ between the 1562 women who underwent bilateral oophorectomy before natural menopause and the 1610 referent women (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.82; 95% confidence interval, 0.66-1.03). However, women who underwent bilateral oophorectomy had a decreased risk of gynecologic cancers (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.15; 95% confidence interval, 0.06-0.34) but not of nongynecologic cancers (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.99; 95% confidence interval, 0.78-1.26). In particular, the risk of breast cancer, gastrointestinal cancer, and lung cancer did not differ between these 2 cohorts. Use of estrogen therapy through the age of 50 years in women who underwent bilateral oophorectomy did not modify the results.ConclusionWomen who underwent bilateral oophorectomy before menopause have a reduced risk of gynecologic cancer but not of other types of cancer including breast cancer. Women at average risk of ovarian cancer should not consider bilateral oophorectomy for the prevention of breast cancer or other nongynecologic cancers.

Project description:ImportanceRestless legs syndrome is a common neurologic disorder that is more prevalent in women than in men, and it has been suggested that female hormones may be involved in the disorder's pathophysiology.ObjectiveTo determine whether women who underwent premenopausal bilateral oophorectomy were at increased risk of restless legs syndrome.Design, setting, and participantsThis cohort study was performed using data from the Mayo Clinic Cohort Study of Oophorectomy and Aging-2 for a population in Olmsted County, Minnesota. There were 1653 women who underwent premenopausal bilateral oophorectomy before the age of 50 years for a benign indication between 1988 and 2007 and 1653 age-matched women (of same age plus or minus 1 year) in a reference group. Follow-up was conducted until the end of the study period (ie, December 31, 2014). Data were analyzed from January to July 2020.ExposuresUndergoing bilateral oophorectomy, as shown in medical record documentation.Main outcomes and measuresDiagnosis of restless legs syndrome, as defined using Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (Fifth Edition) criteria, was recorded.ResultsAmong 3306 women, the median (interquartile range) age at baseline was 44.0 (40.0-47.0) years. Women who underwent bilateral oophorectomy, compared with women who did not undergo this procedure, had a greater number of chronic conditions at the index date (eg, 300 women [18.1%] vs 171 women [10.3%] with ≥3 chronic conditions; overall P < .001), were more likely to have obesity (576 women [34.8%] vs 442 women [27.1%]; overall P < .001), and were more likely to have a history of anemia of any type (573 women [34.7%] vs 225 women [13.6%]; P < .001), iron deficiency anemia (347 women [21.0%] vs 135 women [8.2%]; P < .001), and restless legs syndrome before the index date (32 women [1.9%] vs 14 women [0.8%]; P = .008). Women who underwent bilateral oophorectomy prior to natural menopause had a higher risk of restless legs syndrome after the index date compared with women in the reference group (120 diagnoses vs 74 diagnoses), with an adjusted hazard ratio (HR) of 1.44 (95% CI, 1.08-1.92; P = .01). After stratification by indication for the bilateral oophorectomy, there was an increased risk of restless legs syndrome among women without a benign ovarian condition (HR, 1.52; 95% CI, 1.03-2.25; P = .04) but not among women with a benign condition (HR, 1.25; 95% CI, 0.80-1.96; P = .34). Treatment with estrogen therapy through the age of 46 years in women who underwent bilateral oophorectomy at younger ages was not associated with a difference in risk.Conclusions and relevanceThis cohort study found that risk of restless legs syndrome was increased among women who underwent bilateral oophorectomy prior to menopause, especially those without a benign ovarian indication.

Project description:INTRODUCTION:Women after risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO) can have impaired sexual functioning, but whether there is an association between hormone levels and sexual functioning is unclear. AIM:To determine whether hormone levels are associated with sexual functioning in women after RRSO. METHODS:This is a retrospective cohort study of 198 sexually active and 91 inactive women after RRSO. Participants completed the Sexual Activity Questionnaire, questionnaires concerning hormone replacement therapy (HRT), quality of life, care from partner, body image, and comorbidity and provided blood samples. Associations between sexual functioning scores and covariates were examined by linear regression. Variables associated with sexual activity were examined by logistic regression. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Associations with sexual pleasure and sexual discomfort scores were expressed by multivariable regression coefficients and associations with sexual activity were expressed by odds ratios. RESULTS:None of the hormone levels were associated with sexual pleasure in contrast to age (P = .032), current use of systemic HRT (P = .002), and more care form partner (P < .001). Increased free androgen index (P = .016), more care from partner (P = .017), systemic HRT (P = .002), and no history of cardiovascular disease (P = .001) were associated with less sexual discomfort. The odds ratio of being sexually active increased with younger age, no breast cancer, better quality of life, and more care from partner. CONCLUSIONS:Our results indicate that other factors than hormone levels are important for sexual functioning, although systemic HRT can have a positive impact on sexual functioning in women who have undergone RRSO. Testosterone therapy could improve women's sexual functioning after RRSO; however, the inverse association between free androgen levels and sexual discomfort should be addressed in future studies.

Project description:ImportanceThe association of premenopausal bilateral oophorectomy with parkinsonism and Parkinson disease (PD) remains controversial.ObjectiveTo assess whether women who underwent premenopausal bilateral oophorectomy were at increased risk of parkinsonism and PD and whether the associations varied by age at oophorectomy and by receipt of estrogen replacement therapy.Design, setting, and participantsThis cohort study used data from a combination of 2 independent cohort studies, the Mayo Clinic Cohort Study of Oophorectomy and Aging 1 and 2, which were based on the Rochester Epidemiology Project medical records-linkage system. A population-based sample of 5499 women from Olmsted County, Minnesota, were included; of those, 2750 women underwent bilateral oophorectomy for a benign indication before spontaneous menopause between January 1, 1950, and December 31, 2007 (oophorectomy cohort), and 2749 age-matched women who did not undergo bilateral oophorectomy were randomly sampled from the general population (reference cohort). Data were analyzed from March 1 to April 30, 2022. The date of oophorectomy was considered the index date for both groups.ExposuresMedical record documentation of bilateral oophorectomy abstracted from a medical records-linkage system (Rochester Epidemiology Project).Main outcomes and measuresIncidence and risk of parkinsonism or PD, with diagnoses confirmed by in-person examination or medical record review.ResultsAmong 5499 participants (median [IQR] age, 45.0 [40.0-48.0] years; 5312 [96.6%] White), 2750 women (2679 White [97.4%]) underwent bilateral oophorectomy at a median age of 45.0 years (IQR, 40.0-48.0 years), and 2749 women (2633 White [95.8%]) with a median age of 45.0 years (IQR, 40.0-48.0 years) at the index date were included in the reference cohort. Bilateral oophorectomy was associated with an increased risk of parkinsonism overall (hazard ratio [HR], 1.59; 95% CI, 1.02-2.46) and in women younger than 43 years at oophorectomy (HR, 7.67; 95% CI, 1.77-33.27). There was a pattern of increasing risk with younger age at the time of oophorectomy using 4 age strata (≥50 years: HR, 1.43 [95% CI, 0.50-4.15]; 46-49 years: HR, 1.55 [95% CI, 0.79-3.07]; 40-45 years: HR, 1.36 [95% CI, 0.64-2.89]; <40 years: HR, 8.82 [95% CI, 1.08-72.00]; P = .02 for trend). The number needed to harm was 53 women overall and 27 women younger than 43 years at the time of oophorectomy. Bilateral oophorectomy was also associated with an increased risk of PD in women younger than 43 years at oophorectomy (HR, 5.00; 95% CI, 1.10-22.70), with a number needed to harm of 48 women. Among women who underwent oophorectomy at 45 years and younger, the risk was lower in women who received estrogen after the procedure and through age 50 years compared with women who did not. For parkinsonism, the HRs were 1.72 (95% CI, 0.54-5.53) vs 2.05 (95% CI, 0.80-5.23); for PD, the HRs were 1.53 (95% CI, 0.29-8.23) vs 2.75 (95% CI, 0.84-9.04). However, the differences were not significant.Conclusions and relevanceIn this study, premenopausal women who underwent bilateral oophorectomy before age 43 years had an increased risk of parkinsonism and PD compared with women who did not undergo bilateral oophorectomy. These findings suggest that a reduction in the practice of prophylactic bilateral oophorectomy in premenopausal women at average risk of ovarian cancer may have substantial benefit for reducing the risk of parkinsonism and PD.
