BACKGROUND: Breast cancer survivors have an increased risk of second primary cancers (SPCs), the role of county-level socioeconomic status and rurality-factors that may influence access to treatment, surveillance, and preventive care-remains understudied. METHODS: We identified 721,957 women with localized/regional first primary breast cancer who survived ≥ 1 year in 17 Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results registries (2000-2018). We used Cox regression to assess associations between county-level median household income (proxy for socioeconomic status), rurality, and their joint effects on invasive SPC risk, adjusting for demographic and clinical factors. We examined risk for all SPCs, non-breast SPCs, and the three most common SPC sites (breast, lung/bronchus, colorectal). Models were further stratified by index breast cancer characteristics. RESULTS: During 6.1 median years of follow-up, 65,954 survivors developed an SPC (42,400 non-breast; 23,554 breast, 8,338 lung/bronchus, 5,442 colorectal). Survivors from lower-income counties had higher SPC risk (< $50,000 vs. ≥ $75,000: HR = 1.07, 95% CI = 1.04-1.10), driven by lung/bronchus (HR = 1.32, 95% CI = 1.23-1.42) and colorectal cancers (HR = 1.19, 95% CI = 1.09-1.31). Lung/bronchus cancer risk was stronger among younger (age < 50: HR = 1.95, 95% CI = 1.59-2.39, age ≥ 50: HR = 1.20, 95% CI = 1.12-1.28; p interaction < 0.001) and Estrogen Receptor (ER)-negative survivors (ER negative: HR = 1.50, 95% CI = 1.31-1.72; ER positive: HR = 1.21, 95% CI = 1.12-1.30; p interaction = 0.02). Survivors from rural counties had higher SPC risk compared with most urban counties (HR range:1.07-1.12), especially for lung/bronchus cancer in younger (age < 50: HR = 1.66, 95% CI = 1.34-2.05, age ≥ 50: HR = 1.13, 95% CI = 1.06-1.21; p interaction = 0.001) and ER-negative survivors (ER negative: HR = 1.45, 95% CI = 1.26-1.67; ER positive: HR = 1.11, 95% CI = 1.03-1.20; p interaction = 0.001). Survivors in rural/lower-income counties had the highest SPC risk compared with urban/higher-income counties (HR-range: 1.20-1.23), particularly for lung/bronchus cancer (HR = 1.57, 95% CI = 1.10-2.23). CONCLUSION: Studies are needed to understand factors driving the impact of socioeconomic status and rurality (e.g., access to care) on SPC risk to inform preventive strategies for breast cancer survivors.
背景:乳腺癌幸存者患第二原发性癌症(SPC)的风险增加,县级社会经济地位和农村因素(可能影响治疗、监测和预防保健的可及性)的作用仍未得到充分研究。 方法:我们在17个监测、流行病学和最终结果登记处(2000 - 2018年)中确定了721,957名患有局限性/区域性原发性乳腺癌且存活≥1年的女性。我们使用Cox回归来评估县级家庭收入中位数(社会经济地位的代理指标)、农村地区及其对浸润性SPC风险的联合影响,并对人口统计学和临床因素进行了调整。我们研究了所有SPC、非乳腺癌SPC以及三个最常见的SPC部位(乳房、肺/支气管、结肠直肠)的风险。模型根据索引乳腺癌特征进一步分层。 结果:在中位随访6.1年期间,65,954名幸存者发生了SPC(42,400例非乳腺癌;23,554例乳腺癌、8,338例肺/支气管癌、5,442例结肠直肠癌)。来自低收入县的幸存者患SPC的风险更高(<50,000美元与≥75,000美元相比:HR = 1.07,95%CI = 1.04 - 1.10),主要由肺/支气管癌(HR = 1.32,95%CI = 1.23 - 1.42)和结肠直肠癌(HR = 1.19,95%CI = 1.
