Association of Independent Prognostic Factors and Treatment Modality With Survival and Recurrence Outcomes in Breast Cancer.

ABSTRACT: Importance:It is not well understood whether prognostic factors in breast cancer are affected by specific treatment and vary by clinical outcome type compared with untreated patients. Objective:To identify independent clinical and molecular measurements associated with overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) by homogeneous treatment in women with breast cancer. Design, Setting, and Participants:This prognostic study included 956 patients diagnosed with invasive breast cancer from hospital centers across 4 geographical regions of the United States who participated in the accreditation program of the Commission on Cancer of the American College of Surgeons from 1985 to 1997. The duration of follow-up ranged from 1 to 282 months. The study analysis was conducted from June 10, 2019, to March 18, 2020. Main Outcomes and Measures:Analysis of OS and RFS in patients who underwent chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or endocrine therapy alone compared with no systemic or locoregional therapy. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to estimate independent performance and 95% CI of age, tumor size, number of positive nodes (nodal status), tumor grades 2 and 3, p53 status, estrogen receptor (ER) status, and ERBB2 (formerly HER2) status. Results:Among 956 participants, median age was 61 (range, 25-96) years. Age (adjusted hazard ratio [AHR], 2.24; 95% CI, 1.27-3.94; P?=?.01) and high grade (AHR, 2.05; 95% CI, 1.09-3.86; P?=?.02), in addition to nodal status and tumor size, were independently associated with OS and RFS, respectively, in untreated patients. p53 status (AHR, 2.11; 95% CI, 1.07-4.18; P?=?.03) and ER status (AHR, 0.46; 95% CI, 0.23-0.92; P?=?.03) were associated with higher and lower risks of death, respectively, whereas nodal status (AHR, 1.13; 95% CI, 1.06-1.20; P?

Project description:ImportanceDefinitive chemoradiotherapy and upfront surgical treatment are both accepted as the standard of care for advanced-stage oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma. However, the optimal primary treatment modality remains unclear.ObjectiveTo evaluate the comparative effectiveness of definitive chemoradiotherapy and upfront surgical treatment for advanced-stage oropharyngeal cancer.Design, setting, and participantsThis retrospective comparative effectiveness analysis used data from the population-based Taiwan Cancer Registry. Included patients were diagnosed with clinical stage III or IV oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma from 2007 to 2015 and were identified from the registry. Patients with T4b or N3 disease were excluded. Data were analyzed from June 2019 through December 2020.InterventionsDefinitive chemoradiotherapy or upfront surgical treatment.Main outcomes and measuresThe primary outcome was overall survival, for which data were available through December 31, 2018. Secondary outcomes were progression-free survival, locoregional recurrence-free survival, and distant metastasis-free survival.ResultsAmong 1180 patients, 694 patients (58.8%) were in the definitive chemoradiotherapy group and 486 patients (41.2%) were in the upfront surgical treatment group. The median (interquartile range) follow-up was 3.62 (1.63-5.47) years, and most patients were men (1052 [89.1%] men) with a primary tumor in the tonsils (712 patients [60.3%]), moderately differentiated histology (604 patients [51.2%]), clinical N2 disease (858 patients [72.7%]), and clinical stage IVA disease (938 patients [79.5%]). The mean (SD) age was 54.59 (10.35) years. Primary treatment with an upfront surgical procedure was associated with a decreased risk of death during the study period (hazard ratio [HR], 0.81; 95% CI, 0.69-0.97; P = .02). However, when adjusted for age, subsite, histological grade, and T and N classification, upfront surgical treatment was no longer associated with an increased risk of death during the study period (HR, 0.96; 95% CI, 0.80-1.16; P = .70). Progression-free survival was worse in the group receiving upfront surgical treatment than in the group receiving chemoradiotherapy (HR, 1.64; 95% CI, 1.09-2.46; P = .02), and this difference persisted after adjusting for other factors associated with prognosis (ie, age, tumor subsite, histological grade, and T and N classification) (HR, 1.72; 95% CI, 1.12-2.66; P = .01).Conclusions and relevanceThis study found that definitive chemoradiotherapy was associated with effectiveness that was comparable with that of upfront surgical treatment when adjusted for baseline factors associated with prognosis. These findings suggest that definitive chemoradiotherapy should be considered to avoid accumulating toxic effects associated with surgical treatment and chemoradiotherapy.

Project description:Simple Summary Glioblastoma is the most common tumour that originates in the brain in adults. Most of the published data on glioblastoma are from patients in clinical trials who tend to be younger and fitter than the average patient. We therefore looked at patient demographic, tumour characteristics, and treatments received in a group of 490 real-world patients with glioblastoma to evaluate their survival, and to investigate whether we could find any factors that were associated with longer survival. Overall, the average survival of patients was 9 months. Patients tended to live longer if they were younger, had surgery, if they had further treatment after surgery (chemo- or radio-therapy), or if they had a tumour marker called MGMT promotor methylation. Abstract Background: IDH-wildtype glioblastoma is the most common malignant primary brain tumour in adults. As there is limited information on prognostic factors outside of clinical trials; thus, we conducted a retrospective study to characterise the glioblastoma population at our centre. Methods: Demographic, tumour molecular profiles, treatment, and survival data were collated for patients diagnosed with glioblastoma at our centre between July 2011 and December 2015. We used multivariate proportional hazard model associations with survival. Results: 490 patients were included; 60% had debulking surgery and 40% biopsy only. Subsequently, 56% had standard chemoradiotherapy, 25% had non-standard chemo/radio-therapy, and 19% had no further treatment. Overall survival was 9.2 months. In the multivariate analysis, longer survival was associated with debulking surgery vs. biopsy alone (14.9 vs. 8 months) (HR 0.54 [95% CI 0.41–0.70]), subsequent treatment after diagnosis (HR 0.12 [0.08–0.16]) (standard chemoradiotherapy [16.9 months] vs. non-standard regimens [9.2 months] vs. none [2.0 months]), tumour MGMT promotor methylation (HR 0.71 [0.58–0.87]), and younger age (hazard ratio vs. age < 50: 1.70 [1.26–2.30] for ages 50–59; 3.53 [2.65–4.70] for ages 60–69; 4.82 [3.54–6.56] for ages 70+). Conclusions: The median survival for patients with glioblastoma is less than a year. Younger age, debulking surgery, treatment with chemoradiotherapy, and MGMT promotor methylation are independently associated with longer survival.

Project description:ImportancePrognostic factors are lacking in neurosarcoidosis (NS), and the association of immunosuppressive treatments with outcomes are unclear.ObjectivesTo identify prognostic factors of and analyze the association of immunosuppressive treatment with relapse of NS.Design, setting, and participantsIn this retrospective study, a cohort of 234 patients fulfilled the diagnostic criteria for NS in a tertiary referral center in Paris, France, from January 1, 1990, through December 31, 2015. The median follow-up was 8 years (range, 2 months to 23 years).Main outcomes and measuresAll neurologic and extraneurologic data and treatments were analyzed. Functional outcomes measured by the absolute value and the variation from baseline of the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score at 60 months after the diagnosis, overall survival, and relapse-free survival (RFS) were assessed. Analyses were stratified by the period of NS diagnosis (1990-1999 vs 2000-2015).ResultsThe 234 patients undergoing assessment included 117 women (50.0%) and 117 men (50.0%); median age was 42 years (interquartile range, 32-53 years). The probable 10-year survival rate was 89% (95% CI, 84%-94%). Older age (hazard ratio [HR] per 10 years, 1.64; 95% CI, 1.19-2.27; P = .003), peripheral nervous system involvement (HR, 6.75; 95% CI, 2.31-19.7; P < .001), and higher baseline EDSS score (HR per point, 1.21; 95% CI, 1.06-1.39; P = .005) were associated with mortality. The estimated 10-year RFS rate was 14% (95% CI, 9%-22%) for all relapses and 28% (95% CI, 20%-38%) for neurologic relapses. Encephalic involvement was associated with shorter neurologic RFS (HR, 2.35; 95% CI, 1.44-3.83; P < .001). A lower risk for relapse was associated with cyclophosphamide (HR, 0.26; 95% CI, 0.11-0.59; P = .001), methotrexate sodium (HR, 0.47; 95% CI, 0.25-0.87; P = .02), and infliximab (HR, 0.16; 95% CI, 0.02-1.24; P = .08) treatments. Follow-up was greater than 60 months in 160 patients (68.4%). An elevated baseline EDSS score (odds ratio [OR] per point, 1.92; 95% CI, 1.55-2.37; P < .001), tobacco use (OR, 3.64; 95% CI, 1.36-9.73; P = .01), encephalic symptoms (OR, 3.04; 95% CI, 1.11-8.38; P = .03), and less than 4 extraneurologic sarcoidosis localizations (OR, 3.06; 95% CI, 1.04-8.98; P = .04) were associated with an EDSS value of at least 2.5 at 60 months. Encephalic involvement (16 of 17 patients [94.1%]; P = .008) and peripheral nervous system involvement (5 of 17 patients [29.4%]; P = .03) were associated with worsening of the EDSS score at 60 months.Conclusions and relevanceThis study identifies putative factors affecting morbidity and mortality in patients with NS. Immunosuppressive therapies (ie, intravenous cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, and infliximab) in these patients may be associated with lower relapse rates.
