The clinical benefits of endocrine therapy for patients with hormonosensitive breast cancer remains perfectly established. For instance, tamoxifen, the gold standard of the adjuvant treatment, has largely contributed of the effectiveness of such a therapy. The recent development of new endocrine agents (the third-generation aromatase inhibitors, selective estrogen receptors modulators), provides to physicians the opportunity of a more effective and tolerable therapeutic approach, in the metastatic disease setting or likely in adjuvant setting for breast cancer patients. Preoperative therapy has been widely used for the treatment of initially inoperable locally advanced breast cancers with the main objective of breast-conserving surgery. The benefits of neoadjuvant chemotherapy has widely been demonstrated; however, the success of neoadjuvant endocrine therapy is much recent. The clinical and pharmacological data of the main published studies using neoadjuvant hormonotherapy are presented herein this review. Therefore, clinical and histologic assessments of response brings essential informations about the breast cancer hormonal sensitivity, but may also be predictor of the future (adjuvant or metastatic) treatment responsiveness. 相似文献

Background Numerous studies have examined prognostic factors for survival of breast cancer patients, but relatively few have dealt specifically
with 10+-year survivors.
Methods A review of the PubMed database from 1995 to 2006 was undertaken with the following inclusion criteria: median/mean follow-up
time at least 10 years; overall survival and/or disease-specific survival known; and relative risk and statistical probability
values reported. In addition, we used data from the long-standing Eindhoven Cancer Registry to illustrate survival probability
as indicated by various prognostic factors.
Results 10-year breast cancer survivors showed 90% 5-year relative survival. Tumor size, nodal status and grade remained the most
important prognostic factors for long-term survival, although their role decreased over time. Most studies agreed on the long-term
prognostic values of MI (mitotic index), LVI (lymphovascular invasion), Her2-positivity, gene profiling and comorbidity for
either all or a subgroup of breast cancer patients (node-positive or negative). The roles of age, socioeconomic status, histological
type, BRCA and p53 mutation were mixed, often decreasing after correction for stronger prognosticators, thus limiting their
clinical value. Local and regional recurrence, metastases and second cancer may substantially impair long-term survival. Healthy
lifestyle was consistently related to lower overall mortality.
Conclusions Effects of traditional prognostic factors persist in the long term and more recent factors need further follow-up. The prognosis
for breast cancer patients who have survived at least 10 years is favourable and increases over time. Improved long-term survival
can be achieved by earlier detection, more effective modern therapy and healthier lifestyle. 相似文献

IntroductionHER-2 over-expression is implicated in the pathogenesis of breast cancer and represents a key marker and determinant of patient outcome. Trastuzumab/Herceptin (TZ) is a recombinant humanised monoclonal antibody which targets HER-2. Introduction into clinical practice has significantly improved the natural history of HER-2 over-expressing tumors and has altered the standard of care for these women. This article reviews the established and emerging roles of TZ in the management of breast cancer (BC).MethodsLiterature review facilitated by Medline and PubMed databases.FindingsThe clinical utility of TZ was first established in the management of HER-2 over-expressing metastatic breast cancer (MBC), with improvements recognised in both the quality and quantity of life. Prospective randomized controlled trials have consistently demonstrated the efficacy of TZ for early breast cancer (EBC) in the adjuvant setting with significant improvements in disease free and overall survival. Emerging roles for TZ include neo-adjuvant therapy and the treatment of progressive disease. TZ is well tolerated and safe, however, associated cardiac dysfunction remains a significant clinical concern.ConclusionHER-2 status is critically important in the management algorithm for BC and should be determined in all cases. Quality assurance of laboratory testing is of paramount importance. TZ has an established role in the management of HER-2 positive MBC and EBC in conjunction with conventional chemotherapy. Appropriate patient selection and monitoring for cardiac dysfunction are required. 相似文献

Inflammation and breast cancer. Balancing immune response: crosstalk between adaptive and innate immune cells during breast cancer progression 下载免费PDF全文
Recent insights into the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying cancer development have revealed that immune cells functionally regulate epithelial cancer development and progression. Moreover, accumulated clinical and experimental data indicate that the outcome of an immune response toward an evolving breast neoplasm is largely determined by the type of immune response elicited. Acute tumor-directed immune responses involving cytolytic T lymphocytes appear to protect against tumor development, whereas immune responses involving chronic activation of humoral immunity, infiltration by Th2 cells, and protumor-polarized innate inflammatory cells result in the promotion of tumor development and disease progression. Herein we review this body of literature and summarize important new findings revealing the paradoxical role of innate and adaptive leukocytes as regulators of breast carcinogenesis. 相似文献

Introduction
We sought to review the available evidence regarding the effect of psychosocial factors on the survival of breast cancer patients.Methods
We systematically searched the PubMed and PsycINFO databases to identify relevant studies.Results
We identified 31 studies examining the association of various psychosocial parameters with overall breast cancer survival/disease free survival and 6 studies examining whether psychological intervention influences the disease outcome. Of the 31 studies summarized in this overview, 25 (80.6%) showed a statistically significant association between at least one psychosocial variable and disease outcome. Parameters associated with better breast cancer prognosis are social support, marriage, and minimizing and denial, while depression and constraint of emotions are associated with decreased breast cancer survival; however, the role of these factors has not been verified in all studies.Conclusion
Most of the studies show a significant relationship between psychosocial factors and survival, but the actual psychosocial variables related to survival are not consistently measured across studies and the findings for many of the psychosocial variables with survival/recurrence are not consistent across studies. Thus, more research is warranted regarding the role of social support, marriage, minimizing and denial, depression and constraint of emotions on breast cancer survival. 相似文献10.

The factors responsible for the genesis of breast cancer remain unclear. Emerging, although controversial, evidence suggests that factors related to life-style, such as dietary fat or alcohol intake, or exposure to various forms of stressors, are associated with mammary tumorigenesis. The possible role of life-style factors in breast cancer is important in light of the fact that mortality to this disease is increasing in most countries and that development of curative therapies for breast cancer has not been forthcoming. Thus, determining the role of life-style factors in the onset and progression of breast cancer, particularly among individuals genetically vulnerable to breast cancer or women with breast cancer in remission, is critical to prevent this disease. We will review the three main hypotheses which have been suggested to link psychosocial factors to the etiology of cancer, emphasizing data obtained through animal models. Interpretation of the existing data suggests that the number of stressful life-events does not predict vulnerability to develop breast cancer or survival from it; a certain level of stress appears to protect from malignancies. The crucial factor affecting tumor growth is the interaction among stress, an individual's personality, and available psychosocial support, and the effect of this interaction on an individual's ability to cope with stress. In addition, other risk factors for breast cancer known to be closely associated with psychosocial factors, namely dietary fat and alcohol consumption, may interact with the effects of psychosocial factors on breast cancer. 相似文献

Most previously employed cancer survivors continue to work after treatment, but the impact of cancer symptoms or psychosocial concerns on their work has seldom been assessed. We conducted a community-based survey of cancer survivors from the Colorado Central Cancer Registry to assess the changes in their work and the demographic, clinical, and psychosocial characteristics associated with work changes over the 2 years following diagnosis. Of 100 survivors, 92 returned to work, but 57% of those reduced their work by more than 4 h/week, and 56% noted a change in some aspect of their occupational role. Physical symptoms, particularly lack of energy or nausea/vomiting, and psychological symptoms, particularly feeling bored or useless or feeling depressed, were significantly associated with a reduction in work hours or a change in occupational role. Since changes in work are common and are associated with both physical and psychosocial symptoms, strategies are needed to reduce symptom burden and barriers to work and to improve work capacity for working-age cancer survivors. 相似文献

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate changes in the quality of life (QoL) and body image among breast cancer patients over 2 years and to examine different predictive factors for QoL 2 years after the primary operation. Methods: A total of 203 women with a primary diagnosis of breast cancer completed the questionnaires 2 weeks and 6, 12, 18, and 24 months after surgery. Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ‐C30), Breast Cancer Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire Module (QLQ‐BR23), Questionnaire on Stress in Cancer Patients (QSC‐R23), Freiburg Personality Inventory (FPI‐R), Life Orientation Test (LOT) were used as standardized measures. Results: The overall QoL and most functional and symptom scales improved during the 2‐year period. However, cognitive functioning, body image, and the three symptom scales of insomnia, constipation, and diarrhea did not change. Age was only capable of predicting physical functioning, whereas tumor size, axillary surgery, and adjuvant chemotherapy were not predictive of the long‐term QoL functional scores. Initial distress was the most potent predictive factor for long‐term QoL. Baseline functioning predicted functional QoL scores 2 years later. And higher scores for neuroticism were associated with a poorer QoL. However, optimism was not capable of predicting the QoL 2 years later. Conclusion: Screening measures should be implemented at the time when breast cancer is diagnosed, in order to identify psychologically vulnerable patients and offer them professional psycho‐oncological help.

Two thirds of breast cancers express the estrogen receptor (ER), which contributes to tumor development and progression. ER-targeted therapy is therefore widely used in breast cancer to inhibit signaling through ER and disrupt breast cancer growth. This therapeutic strategy, particularly using the antiestrogen tamoxifen, is proven to increase the cure rates in early breast cancer, improve patient outcomes in advanced disease, and reduce breast cancer incidence in the prevention setting. Despite the recent integration of more powerful endocrine agents into breast cancer care, resistance to all forms of endocrine therapy remains a major problem. New insight into ER biology and progress in understanding resistance mechanisms, mediated by molecular crosstalk between ER and various growth factor signaling pathways, are generating tremendous promise for new therapeutic opportunities to target resistance and improve breast cancer disease outcomes. 相似文献

Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women, but fortunately has high survival rates. Many studies have been performed to investigate the effects of exercise in patients diagnosed with breast cancer. There is evidence that exercise after the diagnosis of breast cancer improves mortality, morbidity, health related quality of life, fatigue, physical functioning, muscle strength, and emotional wellbeing. Based on scientific data, breast cancer patients should be recommended to participate in rehabilitation programs including aerobic and strength training. The aim of this article is to review the recently published data on the effect of exercise in patients with breast cancer in order to present the current perspective on the topic. 相似文献

The course of breast cancer is highly variable, and only part of the variability in progression rate can be predicted by clinicopathological factors. It is suggested that some of the variation may be ascribed to behavioral factors, but their importance in determining progression of breast cancer is still controversial. Several groups have found an association between progression of breast cancer and psychosocial factors including stressful life events, the expression of negative emotions—anger and anxiety—the presence of hopelessness, social support, and participating in psychosocial counselling. However, other groups failed to confirm these results. Here we review psycho-oncology research studies with breast cancer patients including those employing cross-sectional, longitudinal and experimental designs. Results of these studies, methodological problems and future directions for this line of research are discussed. 相似文献

The range of psychosocial stress factors/processes (eg, chronic stress, distress states, coping, social adversity) were reviewed as they relate to immune variables in cancer along with studies of psychosocial interventions on these stress processes and immune measures in cancer populations. The review includes molecular, cellular, and clinical research specifically examining the effects of stress processes and stress-management interventions on immune variables (eg, cellular immune function, inflammation), which may or may not be changing directly in response to the cancer or its treatment. Basic psychoneuroimmunologic research on stress processes (using animal or cellular/tumor models) provides leads for investigating biobehavioral processes that may underlie the associations reported to date. The development of theoretically driven and empirically supported stress-management interventions may provide important adjuncts to clinical cancer care going forward. 相似文献
