Patients with PTEN Hamartoma Tumor Syndrome (PHTS) have high hereditary cancer risks for breast, endometrial, and thyroid cancer. Patients develop multiple primary cancers, but these risks remain uncertain. We aimed to provide the second primary cancer risk.
This European cohort study assessed second primary cancer risks with Kaplan-Meier analyses using data from medical files and/or registries.
Overall, 279 adult patients with PHTS with cancer were included (80% female). Among females, 112 (54%) developed a PHTS-related second primary cancer after PHTS-related first primary cancer, whereas 11 (30%) males developed a PHTS-related second primary cancer after PHTS-related first primary cancer. Five- and ten-year PHTS-related second primary cancer risks were 23% (95%CI=16-31) and 46% (95%CI=37-56) for females, and 18% (95%CI=8-38) and 23% (95%CI=11-45) for males, respectively. Furthermore, five- and ten-year risks for second primary breast cancer after first primary breast cancer were 23% (95%CI=15-35) and 46% (95%CI=33-60), respectively.
This study demonstrated that patients with PHTS have high second primary cancer risks, which is driven by breast cancer in females. Hence, identifying patients with PHTS before or at first primary cancer diagnosis is essential to enable potential early detection or prevention of second primary cancer through surveillance or risk-reducing surgery.
患有PTEN错构瘤肿瘤综合征(PHTS)的患者患乳腺癌、子宫内膜癌和甲状腺癌的遗传癌症风险较高。患者会发生多种原发性癌症,但这些风险仍不确定。我们旨在提供第二次原发性癌症的风险。
这项欧洲队列研究使用来自医疗档案和/或登记处的数据,通过Kaplan-Meier分析评估第二次原发性癌症的风险。
总体而言,纳入了279例患有癌症的成年PHTS患者(80%为女性)。在女性中,112例(54%)在与PHTS相关的首次原发性癌症后发生了与PHTS相关的第二次原发性癌症,而11例(30%)男性在与PHTS相关的首次原发性癌症后发生了与PHTS相关的第二次原发性癌症。女性与PHTS相关的第二次原发性癌症的5年和10年风险分别为23%(95%CI=16-31)和46%(95%CI=37-56),男性分别为18%(95%CI=8-38)和23%(95%CI=11-45)。此外,首次原发性乳腺癌后第二次原发性乳腺癌的5年和10年风险分别为23%(95%CI=15-35)和46%(95%CI=33-60)。
这项研究表明,PHTS患者有较高的第二次原发性癌症风险,这在女性中由乳腺癌驱动。因此,在首次原发性癌症诊断之前或之时识别PHTS患者对于通过监测或降低风险手术实现潜在的第二次原发性癌症的早期检测或预防至关重要。
