Survival, treatment regimens and medical costs of women newly diagnosed with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer.

ABSTRACT: Individuals diagnosed with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC) suffer worse survival rates than their metastatic non-TNBC counterparts. There is little information on survival, treatment patterns, and medical costs of mTNBC patients in Asia. Therefore, this study aimed to examine 5-year survival, regimens of first-line systemic therapy, and healthcare costs of mTNBC patients in Taiwan. Adult females newly diagnosed with TNBC and non-TNBC as well as their survival data, treatment regimens and costs of health services were identified and retrieved from the Cancer Registry database, Death Registry database, and National Health Insurance (NHI) claims database. A total of 9691 (19.27%) women were identified as TNBC among overall BC. The 5-year overall survival rate of TNBC and non-TNBC was 81.28% and 86.50%, respectively, and that of mTNBC and metastatic non-TNBC was 10.81% and 33.46%, respectively. The majority of mTNBC patients received combination therapy as their first-line treatment (78.14%). The 5-year total cost in patients with metastatic non-TNBC and with mTNBC was NTD1,808,693 and NTD803,445, respectively. Higher CCI scores were associated with an increased risk of death and lower probability of receiving combination chemotherapy. Older age was associated with lower 5-year medical costs. In sum, mTNBC patients suffered from poorer survival and incurred lower medical costs than their metastatic non-TNBC counterparts. Future research will be needed when there are more treatment options available for mTNBC patients.

Direct Medical Costs of Incident Complications in Patients Newly Diagnosed With Type 2 Diabetes in China.

Project description:IntroductionReliable country-specific incidence and cost data on diabetes-related complications are essential inputs for the projections of the economic burden of diabetes. The aim of this study was to provide patient-level cost estimates of managing and treating complications in patients newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in China.MethodsPatients newly diagnosed with T2DM in the Tianjin Urban Employee Basic Medical Insurance Claims database between 2008 and 2015 were identified and followed up. The cumulative incidence and descriptive costs of certain macrovascular and microvascular complications were examined. A generalized estimating equations model was used to estimate the immediate- and long-term costs for the incident complication in quarterly intervals, controlling for demographics and the confounding effects of comorbid complications.ResultsA total of 114,847 newly diagnosed patients were identified (mean age 56.9 years, 45.5% women). After 7 years, 80.8% of the patients at risk had developed nephropathy and 75.7% had developed neuropathy. The immediate additional costs were highest for myocardial infarction during the quarterly interval that the complication first occurred (China yuan [CNY] 19,633), and the long-term costs were highest for stroke in the quarterly intervals of subsequent years (CNY 1087). The expected costs for all complications were calculated and presented as costs per quarterly interval and per year for different age and sex subgroups.ConclusionsManaging complications results in substantial costs to the Chinese healthcare system. Our study contributes towards quantifying the economic burden and supports the parametrization of economic models of diabetes in China.

Overall survival of triple negative breast cancer in French Caribbean women.

Project description:To describe survival according to prognostic factors of women with breast cancer in French overseas territory (Martinique) during 2008-2017. We performed a Cox model for prognostic factors for OS in breast cancer patients. The cut-off date for the analysis was 13/10/2018. The main factors were demographic data, stage, hormone receptors (HR) status and HER2 status. Curves were compared with the log rank test to select candidate variables for the multivariate analysis. We included 1,708 patients; median age at diagnosis was 57 years. Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) accounted for 20.9% (n = 332). Among the patients, 72.3% (n = 1015) had localised or local spread cancer. One-year OS was 95.2% and was 80.1% at 5 years. In TNBC, 1-year-survival was 90.4%, which fell to 70.1% at 5 years. Patients with metastatic disease at diagnosis had 1-year-survival of 74.5%, and 20.1% at 5 years. Multivariate analysis by Cox regression identified 4 factors significantly associated with an increased risk of death: metastatic disease at diagnosis (hazard ratio (HR) = 15, p<0.0001), TNBC (HR 2.84, p<0.0001), HR+/HER2- status (HR 2.05, p<0.0084) and age >75 years (HR 3.8, p<0.0001). This is the first study performed on breast cancer survival in Martinique. Our findings show that breast cancer has overall good prognosis in patients and also how prognosis factors are distributed in the population.

The combination of systemic therapy and locoregional radiotherapy prolongs survival in newly diagnosed metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients.

Project description:BackgroundThe purpose of this study is to assess the role of locoregional radiotherapy (RT) when used in combination with systemic chemotherapy, for patients with newly diagnosed metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), in a non-endemic region of northern China.MethodsIn total, 611 patients with NPCs were newly diagnosed between June 2011 and June 2016 following visits to our hospital; of these, 32 patients presented with metastasis at initial diagnosis. Among these 32 patients, 29 had single-organ metastasis and 3 had multiple-organ metastasis. All patients were treated with RT for local and regional disease.ResultsThe median follow-up for all patients was 20 months (range 9-59 months), and median survival was not achieved (some patients had succumbed) at the time of the last follow-up. The 2-year overall survival (OS) rate was 75.2%, and 3-year OS rate was 50.1%. There was a significant difference between patients with single- and multiple-organ metastasis: 2-year OS was 67.5% for single- vs 0% for multiple-organ metastasis (p=0.039). Patients treated with intensity-modulated RT had a better prognosis than patients treated by conventional RT: 2-year OS was 76.6% for single- vs 44.4% for multiple-organ metastasis (no significant difference was found between the 2 groups, p=0.297). For patients with progression (all were with distant disease progression), the median progression time was 8 months (6-22 months), and the median survival after disease progression was 6 months (2-14 months).ConclusionFor patients with newly diagnosed metastatic NPCs, especially with single-organ metastasis, the addition of RT to systemic chemotherapy improved survival and disease control compared with historical cohort.

Serial evaluation of serum thymidine kinase activity is prognostic in women with newly diagnosed metastatic breast cancer.

Project description:The rapid development of new therapies in metastatic breast cancer (MBC), entails a need for improved prognostic and monitoring tools. Thymidine kinase 1 (TK1) is involved in DNA synthesis and its activity correlates to outcome in cancer patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate serum TK1 activity (sTK1) levels in MBC patients as a tool for prognostication and treatment monitoring. 142 women with MBC scheduled for 1st line systemic treatment were included in a prospective observational study. sTK1 was measured at baseline (BL) and at 1, 3 and 6 months and correlations to progression-free and overall survival (PFS, OS) evaluated. High sTK1 levels (above median) correlated to worse PFS and OS at BL, also after adjusting for other prognostic factors. sTK1 levels were significantly associated with PFS and OS measured from follow-up time points during therapy. Changes from 3 to 6 months during therapy significantly correlated to PFS and OS, whereas early changes did not. We could demonstrate sTK1 level as an independent prognostic factor in patients with newly diagnosed MBC. Changes in sTK1 levels from 3 to 6 months correlated to PFS and OS. Future studies of sTK1 are warranted to further define its clinical utility.

Newly Diagnosed Metastatic Prostate Cancer: Has the Paradigm Changed?

Project description:Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) has been conventional treatment of newly diagnosed metastatic prostate cancer for more than 70 years. However, all patients eventually become castration-resistant and a significant proportion of life span is spent in the castration-resistant state. Prospective randomized control trials have incorporated early chemotherapy along with ADT based on the hypothesis that a significant level of resistance to ADT already exists in newly diagnosed metastatic prostate cancer and ADT exhibits synergistic antitumor activity with taxanes. We discuss the changing landscape of management of patients with newly diagnosed metastatic prostate cancer based on recently published landmark randomized trials.

Hypoxia: syndicating triple negative breast cancer against various therapeutic regimens.

Project description:Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is one of the deadliest subtypes of breast cancer (BC) for its high aggressiveness, heterogeneity, and hypoxic nature. Based on biological and clinical observations the TNBC related mortality is very high worldwide. Emerging studies have clearly demonstrated that hypoxia regulates the critical metabolic, developmental, and survival pathways in TNBC, which include glycolysis and angiogenesis. Alterations to these pathways accelerate the cancer stem cells (CSCs) enrichment and immune escape, which further lead to tumor invasion, migration, and metastasis. Beside this, hypoxia also manipulates the epigenetic plasticity and DNA damage response (DDR) to syndicate TNBC survival and its progression. Hypoxia fundamentally creates the low oxygen condition responsible for the alteration in Hypoxia-Inducible Factor-1alpha (HIF-1α) signaling within the tumor microenvironment, allowing tumors to survive and making them resistant to various therapies. Therefore, there is an urgent need for society to establish target-based therapies that overcome the resistance and limitations of the current treatment plan for TNBC. In this review article, we have thoroughly discussed the plausible significance of HIF-1α as a target in various therapeutic regimens such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, anti-angiogenic therapy, adjuvant therapy photodynamic therapy, adoptive cell therapy, combination therapies, antibody drug conjugates and cancer vaccines. Further, we also reviewed here the intrinsic mechanism and existing issues in targeting HIF-1α while improvising the current therapeutic strategies. This review highlights and discusses the future perspectives and the major alternatives to overcome TNBC resistance by targeting hypoxia-induced signaling.

Triple negative breast cancer: unmet medical needs.

Project description:Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive clinical phenotype characterized by lack of expression (or minimal expression) of estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) as well as an absence of human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) overexpression. It shows substantial overlap with basal-type and BRCA1-related breast cancers, both of which also have aggressive clinical courses. However, this overlap is not complete, and the expression of ER, PR, and HER2 has been noted in basal-like tumors. TNBC also includes the normal-like subtype, and not all patients with TNBC harbor BRCA1 mutations. Because of its expression profile, TNBC is not amenable to treatment with hormone therapy or the anti-HER2 monoclonal antibody trastuzumab, and systemic treatment options are currently limited to cytotoxic chemotherapy. Overall survival, whether in early-stage or advanced disease, is poor compared with that in patients who have other phenotypes. A number of targeted approaches to TNBC are undergoing clinical evaluation, including the use of agents with poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitory properties such as iniparib (the United States Adopted Name for the investigational agent BSI-201), olaparib (AZD2281), and veliparib (ABT-888), antiangiogenic agents such as bevacizumab and sunitinib, and epidermal growth factor receptor blockers such as cetuximab and erlotinib. Encouraging results with some of these agents have been reported, thereby offering the promise for improved outcomes in patients with TNBC. The clinical characteristics of TNBC and clinical experience to date with novel targeted agents under development for this aggressive phenotype is reviewed.
