PTEN hamartoma tumour syndrome (PHTS) patients have a high hereditary risk of cancer, especially breast (BC), endometrial (EC), and thyroid cancer (TC). However, the prognosis of PHTS-related cancers is unknown.
This European cohort study included adult PHTS patients with data from medical files, registries, and/or questionnaires. Overall survival (OS) was assessed using Kaplan-Meier analyses and were compared with sporadic cancer and the general population using standardized mortality (SMR) and relative survival rates (RSR). Survival bias was addressed using left-truncation.
Overall, 147 BC patients were included. The 10y-OS was 77% (95%CI = 66-90), decreasing with increasing stage from 90% (95%CI = 73-100) for stage 0 to 0% (95%CI = 0-0) for stage IV. BC relative survival was comparable to sporadic BC in the first two years (2y-RSR = 1.1; 95%CI = 1.1-1.1) and increasing thereafter (5y-RSR = 1.7; 95%CI = 1.6-1.7). For TC (N = 56) and EC (N = 35), 10y-OS was 87% (95%CI = 74-100) and 64% (95%CI = 38-100), respectively. Overall and cancer-specific mortality in female PHTS patients exceeded general population rates (SMR = 3.7; 95%CI = 2.6-5.0 and SMR = 2.7; 95%CI = 1.6-4.4).
The prognosis of PHTS-related cancers was comparable to the general population. The higher overall mortality in PHTS patients is presumably related to their higher cancer incidence. These findings, and the high survival observed in early-stage cancer, emphasise the importance of recognising PHTS early to facilitate cancer surveillance.
PTEN错构瘤肿瘤综合征(PHTS)患者具有较高的遗传性癌症风险,尤其是乳腺癌(BC)、子宫内膜癌(EC)和甲状腺癌(TC)。然而,PHTS相关癌症的预后尚不清楚。
这项欧洲队列研究纳入了成年PHTS患者,其数据来自医疗档案、登记处和/或问卷调查。使用Kaplan-Meier分析评估总生存期(OS),并使用标准化死亡率(SMR)和相对生存率(RSR)与散发性癌症和一般人群进行比较。使用左截断法处理生存偏差。
总体上,纳入了147例乳腺癌患者。10年总生存率为77%(95%置信区间=66-90),随着分期增加而降低,从0期的90%(95%置信区间=73-100)降至IV期的0%(95%置信区间=0-0)。乳腺癌相对生存率在前两年与散发性乳腺癌相当(2年相对生存率=1.1;95%置信区间=1.1-1.1),此后逐渐增加(5年相对生存率=1.7;95%置信区间=1.6-1.7)。对于甲状腺癌(N=56)和子宫内膜癌(N=35),10年总生存率分别为87%(95%置信区间=74-100)和64%(95%置信区间=38-100)。女性PHTS患者的总体死亡率和癌症特异性死亡率超过一般人群(标准化死亡率=3.7;95%置信区间=2.6-5.0和标准化死亡率=2.7;95%置信区间=1.6-4.4)。
PHTS相关癌症的预后与一般人群相当。PHTS患者较高的总体死亡率可能与其较高的癌症发病率有关。这些发现以及早期癌症观察到的高生存率强调了早期识别PHTS以促进癌症监测的重要性。
