Abstract Background The number of young patients diagnosed with breast cancer is on the rise. We studied the rate trend of local recurrence (LR) and regional recurrence (RR) in young breast cancer (YBC) patients and outcomes among these patients based on molecular subtypes. Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted based on data from Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital for patients ≤ 35 years of age with pathologically confirmed primary invasive breast cancer surgically treated between 2006 and 2014. Patients were categorized according to molecular subtypes on the basis of hormone receptor (HR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) status. The 5-year rates for LR, RR, and distant metastases (DM) were estimated by Kaplan-Meir statistics. Nelson-Aalen cumulative-hazard plots were used to describe local recurrence- and distant metastasis-free intervals. Results We identified 25,284 patients with a median follow-up of 82 months, of whom 1099 (4.3%) were YBC patients ≤ 35 years of age. The overall 5-year LR, RR, and DM rates in YBC patients were 6.7%, 5.1%, and 16.6%, respectively. The LR and RR rates demonstrated a decreasing trend over time (P = 0.028 and P = 0.015, respectively). We found that early-stage breast cancer and less lymph node metastases increased over time (P = 0.004 and P = 0.007, respectively). Patients with HR−/HER2+ status had a significantly higher LR (HR 20.4; 95% CI, 11.8–35.4) and DM (HR 37.2; 95% CI, 24.6–56.3) at 10 years. Breast-conserving surgery (BCS) or mastectomy did not influence rates of LR and RR. In the overall population, the 5-year survival of YBC patients exceeded 90%. Conclusions The rates of LR and RR with YBC patients demonstrated a downward trend and the proportion of early-stage breast cancer increased between 2006 and 2014. We report the highest LR rates in this young population were associated with HR−/HER2+ tumors.

Introduction: Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women aged 20-59 years. Younger women usually have more aggressive tumors and more advanced disease with larger size and axillary lymph node involvement. There have been few studies assessing the characteristics of breast cancer in very young women. Objective: Evaluate the epidemiological and clinical profile of non-metastatic very young patients with breast cancer. Method: We performed a retrospective analysis to evaluate the epidemiological and clinical profile of non-metastatic breast cancer in patients ≤ 30 years of age treated between 1993 and 2011 at the Brazilian National Cancer Institute José Alencar Gomes da Silva. We evaluated relapse-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS). Results: Of the 196 patients evaluated, 181 (90%) had ductal carcinoma, 79 (40%) had high-grade tumors, and 102 (52%) had hormone receptor-positive tumors. 117 patients(60%) had stage III disease at diagnosis. The median age was 29 years (range, 17-30 years). Of 185 patients who underwent surgery, 156 (84.3%) underwent total mastectomy and 171 (92%) underwent axillary lymph node dissection. 119 patients received neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and 14 patients (9.3%) underwent neoadjuvant radiotherapy. After a median follow-up of 81.5 months, 109 patients (55%) had relapsed and 81 (41%) had died. The median RFS and OS were 49.5 months and 134 months, respectively. Lymph node involvement and neoadjuvant chemotherapy were associated with shorter RFS and OS. Conclusion: Breast cancer is uncommon in young patients, especially in those ≤ 30 years of age. We found a predominance of locally advanced disease and worse prognostic pathological characteristics. Despite the aggressive treatment, our patients had worse outcomes than those reported by other authors.

Background: This study evaluates interventions offered to young breast cancer (BC) patients, including fertility preservation, genetic testing, and counseling for parenthood concerns, and analyzes the effect of BC on biographical issues. Methods: Women who were diagnosed with BC at the age of 18-40 years and who underwent treatment at the Breast Center, Ludwig-Maximilian University (LMU) in Munich between 2006 and 2013, were eligible for this study. Patients received a self-developed questionnaire which covered the following topics: fertility preservation, family planning, genetic testing, parenthood concerns and children's needs, partnership status, and employment situation. Results: Re-evaluating their initial decision on fertility preservation, 76.4% of patients reported satisfaction with their decision. After BC diagnosis, 45.8% reported to have maternal desire, but only 21.7% actually planned to have children. 41.7% of patients missed sufficient counseling regarding parenthood concerns. Analysis of individual employment situations showed that the time period until the return to work was longer in patients who received chemotherapy. The majority of patients (71.6%) did not report changes in their partnership status. Conclusion: Young BC survivors report a lack of communication related to parenthood concerns and future conception, but are satisfied with counseling regarding fertility preservation and genetics.

Abstract Study question Does oocyte vitrification for fertility preservation (FP) delay the initiation of neoadjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer? Summary answer The indication of neoadjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer should not be considered as an impediment to urgent oocyte vitrification for FP. What is known already FP is considered as one of the most important issues to address for young breast cancer patients. Cryopreservation of oocytes or embryos may be considered after controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) or in vitro maturation (IVM). Pregnancies have been reported after reutilization of oocytes frozen following both procedures. Although oocyte competence is better after COH, this strategy requires on average 13 days to be achieved. In addition, the safety of ovarian stimulation before tumor removal is currently not formally established. In case of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, the risk-benefit balance of COH is not well known. Study design, size, duration Retrospective cohort study including all breast cancer patients eligible for oocyte vitrification following COH or IVM before initiation of neoadjuvant chemotherapy between January 2016 and December 2020. Participants/materials, setting, methods Inclusion criteria were: female patients with confirmed non metastatic breast cancer, 18 to 40 years of age, with indication of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, who have had oocyte retrieval for FP after COH or IVM +/- cryopreservation of ovarian tissue. Various time-points related to cancer diagnosis, FP or chemotherapy were obtained from medical record review. Main results and the role of chance A total of 198 patients with confirmed breast cancer who had oocyte retrieval following COH (n = 57) or IVM +/- cryopreservation of ovarian tissue (n = 141) for FP prior to neoadjuvant chemotherapy were included. Although women in IVM group were significantly younger as compared to patients who underwent COH (31.7 ± 4.2 vs. 33.3 ± 4.0 years, p = 0.019), ovarian reserve parameters, BMI and cancer stage did not differ between the two groups. Overall, the average time from cancer diagnosis to chemotherapy start was similar between patients having undergone COH or IVM before oocyte vitrification (37.3 ± 13.8 vs. 36.9 ±13.5 days in COH and IVM groups respectively, p=0.857). Limitations, reasons for caution The time from referral to FP consultation may have influenced the type of FP. In addition, the retrospective nature of the present analysis may constitute a limitation. Moreover, the efficiency and security of the different FP strategies used has not been analysed. Wider implications of the findings Oocyte vitrification following COH or IVM was not associated with delayed breast cancer treatment in the neoadjuvant setting, so long as there was a prompt FP referral. Young patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy should be informed of these findings to avoid unnecessary anxiety due to concern for delays. Trial registration number Not applicable
