Purpose: Multiparity might increase general mortality for women, but has inconclusive in patients with breast cancer. Here, we aim to discover their effect in terms of the breast cancer development hypothesis: from ductal carcinoma in situ to invasive carcinoma. Methods: We included 37 947 patients from the web-based breast cancer registration program of the Korean Breast Cancer Society and analyzed survivals using multivariate Cox regression analysis and whether the associations of these factors displayed linear trends. They were divided into the following groups: (1) pure ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), (2) invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) mixed with intraductal component (DCIS-IDC), and (3) node negative pure IDC. Results: The mean age was 48.9 ± 9.9 years including premenopausal women was 61.8%. Although patients with parities of 1-3 had better prognosis compared with patients with nulliparous women, high parity (⩾4) increased the hazard ratio (HR) of overall survival (OS) (DCIS: HR, 1.52; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.62-3.78; IDC: HR, 1.43, 95% CI 0.89-2.31; and DCIS-IDC: HR, 1.44, 95% CI 0.45-4.59) during 84.2 (±10.7) months. For breast cancer specific survival (BCSS), the HR of the IDC group ( P-value for trend = .04) increased along with increasing parity and was worse than nulliparous patients, and the HR of the DCIS-IDC group increased but was better than nulliparous patients ( P-value for trend = .02). Compared with nulliparous patients, any age at first birth (AFB) decreased HR of OS in the DCIS and IDC groups (DCIS: P = .01; IDC: P = .04). Conclusions: Parity show dual effects on OS of women with all ductal typed breast cancer but show different effects on BCSS in Korea.

Abstract Background: Ductal carcinoma in situ with microinvasion (DCIS-MI) is a subtype of breast cancer with good prognosis, for which both breast conserving surgery plus radiotherapy (BCS+RT) and mastectomy are feasible surgical methods, but their effects on the prognosis of patients are still unclear. Methods: We used the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database to extracted DCIS-MI patients who underwent BCS+RT or mastectomy between 2000 and 2014. Participants were divided into BCS+RT group and mastectomy group. We compared the breast cancer-specific survival (BCSS) and overall survival (OS) of the two groups using Kaplan -Meier method and Cox proportional hazard regressions before and after propensity score matching (PSM) with the landmark. Results: We selected 5432 patients, among which 2834 patients (52.17%) were in the BCS+RT group and 2598 patients (47.83%) were in the mastectomy group. With a 101 months median follow-up time in the overall cohort, both univariate and multivariate analysis showed that BCS + RT group showed significantly higher OS and BCSS compared with patients in the mastectomy group (P<0.001). After PSM, the BCS+RT and mastectomy groups consisted of 1902 patients, respectively. multivariate analysis also showed that compared with mastectomy, the BCS+RT showed significantly higher OS and BCSS (HR = 0.676, 95% CI = 0.540-0.847, P<0.001; HR = 0.565,95% CI = 0.354-0.903, P= 0.017). In addition, the subgroup analysis showed that BCS + RT is at least equivalent to mastectomy with respect to OS and BCSS in any subgroup. Conclusion: For patients with DCIS-MI, the prognosis of BCS+RT was superior to mastectomy.

Abstract Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is a non-obligate precursor to most types of invasive breast cancer (IBC). Although it is estimated only one third of untreated patients with DCIS will progress to IBC, standard of care for treatment is surgery and radiation. This therapeutic approach combined with a lack of reliable biomarker panels to predict DCIS progression is a major clinical problem. DCIS shares the same molecular subtypes as IBC including estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) positive luminal subtypes, which encompass the majority (60–70%) of DCIS. Compared to the established roles of ER and PR in luminal IBC, much less is known about the roles and mechanism of action of estrogen (E2) and progesterone (P4) and their cognate receptors in the development and progression of DCIS. This is an underexplored area of research due in part to a paucity of suitable experimental models of ER+/PR + DCIS. This review summarizes information from clinical and observational studies on steroid hormones as breast cancer risk factors and ER and PR as biomarkers in DCIS. Lastly, we discuss emerging experimental models of ER+/PR+ DCIS.

Purpose The mainstay of treatment for ductal carcinoma in situ (dcis) involves surgery in the form of mastectomy or lumpectomy. Inconsistency in the use of endocrine therapy (et) for dcis is evident worldwide. We sought to assess the variation in et prescribing for patients with dcis across a population-based radiotherapy (rt) program and to identify variables that predict its use.Methods Data from a breast cancer database were obtained for women diagnosed with dcis in British Columbia from 2009 to 2014. Associations between et use and patient characteristics were assessed by chi-square test and multilevel multivariate logistic regression. The Kaplan–Meier method, with propensity score matching and Cox regression analysis, was used to assess the effects of et on overall survival (os) and relapse-free survival (rfs).Results For the 2336 dcis patients included in the study, et use was 13% in dcis patients overall, and 17% in patients with estrogen receptor–positive (er+) tumours treated with breast-conserving surgery and rt. Significant variation in et use by treatment centre was observed (range: 8%–23%; p < 0.001), and prescription of et by individual oncologists varied in the range 0%–40%. After controlling for confounding factors, age less than 50 years [odds ratio (or): 1.72; p = 0.01], treatment centre, er+ status (or: 5.33; p < 0.001), and rt use (or: 1.77; p < 0.001) were significant predictors of et use. No difference in os or rfs with the use of et was observed.Conclusions In this population-based analysis, 13% of patients with dcis in British Columbia received et, with variation by treatment centre (8%–23%) and individual oncologist (0%–40%). Age less than 50 years, er+ status, and rt use were most associated with et use.
