Outcomes for patients who are diagnosed with breast and endometrial cancer

Abstract: The present study sought to determine the survival outcomes for women diagnosed with breast and endometrial cancer. Using SEER data, a population-based cohort study of women diagnosed with breast and endometrial cancer was conducted. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were created for disease-specific survival rates. A total of 2,027 women diagnosed with breast and endometrial cancer were identified. Of these, 1,296 (63.9%) developed breast cancer first and 731 (36.1%) developed endometrial cancer first.

“…Singh et al reported that physical inactivity may influence the cancer mortality and incidence [ 58 , 59 ]. The reproductive factors were mainly related to the breast, ovarian, and endometrial cancer [ 60 , 61 ]. In addition, except for controlling the risk factors, the earlier diagnosis of cancer and optimal treatment may have an important role on cancer survival.…”

“…There were 59 women (41.8%) who were given a diagnosis of BC first versus 82 (58.2%) with EC first; this was in contrast to 63.9% who were given a diagnosis of BC first in the larger observational study using the SEER database. 17 That study also showed a 45-month median between cancer diagnoses but however did not specifically divide patients into the 2 groups that we have done in this study. Here, the time interval between the 2 diagnoses was found to be similar among women in groups 1 and 2.…”

“…9 One study used SEER data to evaluate more than 2000 women with history of both BC and EC, and they concluded that the cumulative mortality at 5 years after the second cancer diagnosis was almost 4-fold likely to be due to BC rather than EC. 17 The association of EC after treatment with adjuvant tamoxifen treatment in patients with previous BC is well established. 18 Higher-grade EC was also found to be more common in this population.…”

“…Only a few studies have evaluated the long-term outcomes, including the development of second cancer, in en- dometrial cancer survivors [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. However, none compared second cancer rate between premenopausal and postmenopausal survivors.…”
