Purpose The aim of this nationwide, register-based cohort study was to determine whether women treated for depression before primary early-stage breast cancer are at increased risk for receiving treatment that is not in accordance with national guidelines and for poorer survival. Material and Methods We identified 45,325 women with early breast cancer diagnosed in Denmark from 1998 to 2011. Of these, 744 women (2%) had had a previous hospital contact (as an inpatient or outpatient) for depression and another 6,068 (13%) had been treated with antidepressants. Associations between previous treatment of depression and risk of receiving nonguideline treatment of breast cancer were assessed in multivariable logistic regression analyses. We compared the overall survival, breast cancer–specific survival, and risk of death by suicide of women who were and were not treated for depression before breast cancer in multivariable Cox regression analyses. Results Tumor stage did not indicate a delay in diagnosis of breast cancer in women previously treated for depression; however, those given antidepressants before breast cancer had a significantly increased risk of receiving nonguideline treatment (odds ratio, 1.14; 95% CI, 1.03 to 1.27) and significantly worse overall survival (hazard ratio, 1.21; 95% CI, 1.14 to 1.28) and breast cancer–specific survival (hazard ratio, 1.11; 95% CI, 1.03 to 1.20). Increased but nonsignificant estimated risks were also found for women with previous hospital contacts for depression. In subgroup analyses, the association of depression with poor survival was particularly strong among women who did not receive the indicated adjuvant systemic therapy. Conclusion Women previously treated for depression constitute a large subgroup of patients with breast cancer who are at risk for receiving nonguideline breast cancer treatment, which probably contributes to poorer overall and breast cancer–specific survival.

e13034 Background: Patients successfully treated for hormone receptor (HR)-positive early breast cancer remain at risk of recurrence and metastatic disease even after extended periods of disease-free years. Whether prolonged metastatic-free intervals ultimately confer a benefit to breast cancer-specific survival is not well understood. This study aimed to investigate metastatic-free intervals and risk of breast cancer-specific mortality among patients with HR-positive breast cancer after adjuvant therapy. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of women aged 18 years and older diagnosed with recurrent metastatic HR-positive breast cancer between 1990 and 2016 in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results registries. Patients with longitudinal information on primary stage I-III HR-positive breast cancer through the occurrence of metastatic disease and survival were included. Risks of breast cancer-specific mortality associated with metastatic-free intervals (defined as time from primary breast cancer diagnosis to metastasis) of ≥5 years compared to < 5 years were estimated. Fine and Gray competing risks regression models were used to calculate subdistribution hazard ratios (SHR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). Results: Among 1,057 women with HR-positive breast cancer with a median age of 54 years at primary breast cancer diagnosis and 62 years at metastatic progression, 65% of women had a metastatic-free disease interval ≥5 years, whereas 35% had an interval of < 5 years. Overall, patients with metastatic-free intervals < 5 years had a five-year breast cancer-specific survival rate of 31% compared to 52% in women with intervals of ≥5 years. In multivariable analyses adjusted for age, race, diagnosis year, grade, treatment and sites of metastasis, patients with intervals of ≥5 years had decreased risk of breast cancer-specific mortality (SHR = 0.72, 95% CI 0.58-0.89, P = 0.002) compared to women with metastatic-free intervals of < 5 years. Conclusions: In this population-based study, rates of cancer-specific mortality among patients who experienced metastatic recurrence of HR-positive breast cancer were lower in women with metastatic-free intervals of 5 years or more. The results of this study may inform patient-clinician discussions surrounding prognosis and treatment selection among HR-positive patients.

Long Term Follow Up

Purpose To determine whether there is a benefit to adjuvant radiation therapy after breast-conserving surgery and tamoxifen in women age ≥ 70 years with early-stage breast cancer. Patients and Methods Between July 1994 and February 1999, 636 women (age ≥ 70 years) who had clinical stage I (T1N0M0 according to TNM classification) estrogen receptor (ER) –positive breast carcinoma treated by lumpectomy were randomly assigned to receive tamoxifen plus radiation therapy (TamRT; 317 women) or tamoxifen alone (Tam; 319 women). Primary end points were time to local or regional recurrence, frequency of mastectomy, breast cancer–specific survival, time to distant metastasis, and overall survival (OS). Results Median follow-up for treated patients is now 12.6 years. At 10 years, 98% of patients receiving TamRT (95% CI, 96% to 99%) compared with 90% of those receiving Tam (95% CI, 85% to 93%) were free from local and regional recurrences. There were no significant differences in time to mastectomy, time to distant metastasis, breast cancer–specific survival, or OS between the two groups. Ten-year OS was 67% (95% CI, 62% to 72%) and 66% (95% CI, 61% to 71%) in the TamRT and Tam groups, respectively. Conclusion With long-term follow-up, the previously observed small improvement in locoregional recurrence with the addition of radiation therapy remains. However, this does not translate into an advantage in OS, distant disease-free survival, or breast preservation. Depending on the value placed on local recurrence, Tam remains a reasonable option for women age ≥ 70 years with ER-positive early-stage breast cancer.
