Does Hormone Treatment Predispose Patients to Breast Cancer?

Breast cancer, the leading cause of death among women in France, is the most commonly occurring cancer in women. Sporadic breast cancer, which is non-hereditary, turns out to be the most widespread, representing 85 to 90% of all cases, but remains the least well-known. Researchers at CNRS and CEA (1), working with a team from Hôpital Saint-Louis (2), have just discovered the cause of 50% of sporadic breast cancers.
The results should also explain epidemiological studies which suggest that hormone treatment predisposes patients to breast cancer. The work is published in "Cancer Research

My colleagues and I have proposed that breast cancer growth includes periods of temporary dormancy and also that sometimes surgery to remove a primary tumor can kick-start growth of micrometastases. According to our theory, over half of all relapses in breast cancer are accelerated in this way. In this paper we suggest a new method of therapy of early stage breast cancer that intends to stabilize dormant distant disease before surgery and then retain dormancy for an indefinite period thereafter.

Princess Margaret Hospital (PMH) breast cancer specialists are using a new way to treat patients by delivering a one-time dose of radiation during surgery. The procedure, called intraoperative radiation therapy, takes less than an hour and eliminates the need for further radiation treatments.

An otherwise healthy 53-year-old woman is seen for routine care after completing treatment several months earlier for stage II estrogen-receptor–positive, HER2-positive breast cancer. The treatment consisted of lumpectomy, irradiation, adjuvant chemotherapy (doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide followed by paclitaxel), and trastuzumab.

"At 12 weeks the treatment effect for the primary outcome was –0.64. In a longitudinal analysis, there was no difference in effectiveness of treatment for the primary or secondary outcome measures. On average there was a decrease in suicidal thoughts and self harm. There was no evidence of a protective effect of cognitive behaviour therapy on suicidal thinking or action. By 28 weeks, 57% were much or very much improved with 20% remaining unimproved."

"Epidemiologic studies suggest that prolactin is associated with breast cancer risk in older women. Because of limited prospective data, particularly in younger women, we examined whether prolactin concentrations were associated with breast cancer risk among women 42 to 55 years (68% premenopausal) from the Nurses’ Health Study (NHS), and then conducted a pooled analysis of three studies. "

"For the majority of older breast cancer survivors, cancer-specific well-being and general emotional health do not change substantially after a breast cancer diagnosis. Among those in whom change occurs, risk factors are similar and may be related to other age-related diseases. "

"In a recent study, women getting over breast cancer treatment who participated in an 8-week supervised aerobic and strength training program improved their physical fitness and quality of life. Now, a follow up study of the women indicates that some of the physical fitness gains last well beyond the training period."
