Systemic therapy for premenopausal women with hormone receptor–positive breast cancer has evolved in the last 5 years, but critical questions remain. Recent randomized trials have demonstrated a benefit for the addition of ovarian suppression to endocrine therapy in patients with breast cancers considered to be at high risk for recurrence, whereas those with lower-risk cancers seem to have a favorable outcome with tamoxifen alone. Two large randomized trials have demonstrated a benefit for extending adjuvant tamoxifen beyond 5 years. Currently the choice of systemic therapy is selected empirically but molecular profiling may, in the near future, provide a more conclusive means of selecting an endocrine therapeutic approach for premenopausal patients. Given that a significant subset of hormone receptor–positive cancers are intrinsically resistant to endocrine agents, as well as the finding that inhibiting cyclin-dependent kinases 4 and 6 and mammalian target of rapamycin appears to potentially reverse this resistance in patients with metastatic disease, evaluation of these agents in the early-stage setting is ongoing.

ObjectiveOvarian suppression is recommended to complement endocrine therapy in premenopausal women with breast cancer and high-risk features. It can be achieved by either medical ovarian suppression or therapeutic bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Our objective was to evaluate characteristics of patients with stage I–III hormone receptor positive primary breast cancer who underwent bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy at our institution.Materials and methodsPremenopausal women with stage I–III hormone receptor positive primary breast cancer diagnosed between January 2010 and December 2014 were identified from a database. Patients with confirmed BRCA1/2 mutations were excluded. Distribution of characteristics between treatment groups was assessed using χ2 test and univariate logistic regression. A multivariate model was based on factors significant on univariate analysis.ResultsOf 2740 women identified, 2018 (74%) received endocrine treatment without ovarian ablation, 516 (19%) received endocrine treatment plus ovarian ablation, and 206 (7.5%) did not receive endocrine treatment. Among patients undergoing ovarian ablation 282/516 (55%) received medical ovarian suppression, while 234 (45%) underwent bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. By univariate logistic analyses, predictors for ovarian ablation were younger age (OR 0.97), histology (other vs ductal: OR 0.23), lymph node involvement (OR 1.89), higher International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage (stage II vs I: OR 1.48; stage III vs I: OR 2.86), higher grade (grade 3 vs 1: OR 3.41; grade 2 vs 1: OR 2.99), chemotherapy (OR 1.52), and more recent year of diagnosis (2014 vs 2010; OR 1.713). Only year of diagnosis, stage, and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER-2) treatment remained significant in the multivariate model. Within the cohort undergoing ovarian ablation, older age (OR 1.05) was associated with therapeutic bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Of 234 undergoing bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, 12 (5%) mild to moderate adverse surgical events were recorded.ConclusionsBilateral salpingo-oophorectomy is used frequently as an endocrine ablation strategy. Older age was associated with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Perioperative morbidity was acceptable. Evaluation of long-term effects and quality of life associated with endocrine ablation will help guide patient/provider decision-making.

Abstract Introduction Although tamoxifen (TAM) plus ovarian function suppression (OFS) is considered as a standard adjuvant treatment for premenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer, the optimal duration of OFS has not yet been established. This retrospective study was designed to assess the duration of OFS and the impact of the duration of OFS on the DFS in these patients. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the data of premenopausal patients with breast cancer who received TAM + OFS (goserelin or leuprorelin) as adjuvant therapy between February 2004 and June 2015. The primary analysis was a comparison of the disease-free survival (DFS) between patients who received OFS for 3 years or less (OFS ≤ 3 years group) and those who received OFS for longer than 3 years (OFS > 3 years group). Results We analyzed the data of 215 premenopausal patients diagnosed as having hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. A propensity score-matched model showed the absence of any significant difference in the DFS between the OFS ≤ 3 years group and OFS > 3 years group (6-year DFS rate, 93.2 vs. 94.0%; log-rank test p = 0.767). Conclusions Our data showed that among premenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer who received TAM + OFS as adjuvant endocrine therapy, there was no significant difference in the DFS between the OFS ≤ 3-year group and OFS > 3-year group. A randomized trial is needed to establish the optimal duration of OFS for these patients.
