FDA 批准一种新型的单抗-药物偶联物治疗乳腺癌JAMA 乳腺癌筛查时,简易乳房MRI与数字乳房合成技术哪一种好?Science子刊 能快速诊断癌症的便携式细胞分析仪-CytoPAN曲妥珠单抗-德鲁替康(trastuzumab deruxtecan)曲妥珠单抗-德鲁替康(trastuzumab deruxtecan)是一种HER-2单抗、偶联拓扑异构酶1抑制剂的药物。2019年12月,曲妥珠单抗-德鲁替康(trastuzumab deruxtecan)被FDA批准用于治疗HER2阳性的、经治疗的乳腺癌。《DESTINY-Breast01研究:曲妥珠单抗-德鲁替康经治疗的HER2阳性乳腺癌的2期临床研究》New England Journal of Medicine,2020年2月 (1)这项2部分的、开放标签、单组、多中心、2期研究,评估了184名、HER2阳性的、转移性乳腺癌患者,使用曲妥珠单抗德鲁替康的疗效。研究第一部分,使用了3种不同剂量,以确定推荐剂量;在第二部分中,评估了推荐剂量的有效性和安全性。曲妥珠单抗德鲁替康的推荐剂量为5.4mg/kg。随访11.1个月后,患者的中位缓解时间为14.8个月,中位无进展生存时间为16.4个月。在研究中,最常见的严重不良事件是中性粒细胞计数减少、贫血和恶心。结论:曲妥珠单抗-德鲁替康在HER2阳性的、转移性乳腺癌患者中,显示出持久的抗肿瘤活性。除了恶心和骨髓抑制,治疗组还观察到间质性肺病,因此用药过程中需监测肺部情况。避孕法避孕法主要包括激素避孕和非激素避孕。激素避孕药包括雌-孕激素避孕药和单纯孕激素避孕药;可采用口服、注射、皮下植入剂、透皮贴剂、子宫避孕器或阴道避孕器等方式给药。非激素避孕法主要包括:输卵管阻断、含铜宫内避孕器、避孕套。《回顾性研究:避孕法类型是否影响痤疮的发病率和严重程度》Obstetrics and Gynecology,2020年5月 (2)皮肤科医生常开出复方口服避孕药用于治疗痤疮,这项回顾性队列研究,目的是比较各种避孕法使用1年内,对痤疮的发病率和严重程度的影响。研究共大约337,000名避孕法的新使用者(年龄12~40岁),2%~8%出现新发痤疮,年轻女性的发病率较高。研究发现复方口服避孕药相比,含铜宫内节育器的痤疮发生风险比为1.14,含孕酮的宫内节育器的痤疮风险比1.09,这些女性新发痤疮后的就诊率略高。21,000名患有痤疮病史的女性,使用含铜宫内节育器和含孕酮的节育器后,从外用药转换成口服四环素类抗生素的可能性更高(风险比分别为1.44和1.34)。结论:复方口服避孕药似乎痤疮风险相对较小,各种避孕法之间绝对差异也很小。 《回顾性研究:产后即刻行皮下植入依托孕烯植入剂避孕,与静脉血栓栓塞的关系》Obstetrics and Gynecology,2020年6月 (3)来自贝勒大学医学院的研究人员,对分娩后30天内皮下植入依托孕烯植入剂的妇女与未植入的妇女的再入院率进行了比较,旨在明确这种避孕方法是否增加静脉血栓的风险。在338万余名产妇中,排除有静脉血栓栓塞史或抗凝治疗史的产妇,共8369名产妇在分娩住院期间接受了皮下植入避孕。研究发现,依托孕烯避孕的产妇和没有避孕的产妇的静脉血栓栓塞再入院率没有差异;而且糖尿病、血栓性血友病、系统性红斑狼疮和剖宫产的发生率在组间无差异。统计发现,接受避孕植入的产妇更年轻、收入更低、吸烟者更多、高血压、围产期感染或产后出血发生率也较高;在对这些混杂因素进行调整后,静脉血栓栓塞发生率的风险比为1.81,没有统计学差异(95%可信区间0.44 - -7.45)。结论:分娩后立即接受依托孕烯避孕植入物避孕,没有增加静脉血栓发生率。《对照研究:依托孕烯避孕植入物使用者不良出血模式的治疗》Obstetrics and Gynecology,2020年8月 (4)依托孕烯避孕植入物的主要副作用是阴道不规则出血,该研究的目的是评价短程使用他莫西芬是否有效。这个研究的前90天,这是一个双盲、随机、对照试验中,研究纳入112名植入依托孕烯避孕植入物后反复阴道出血的女性,随机双盲入组他莫昔芬10mg bid组或安慰剂组,连续治疗7天。然后,参与者进入下一个90天的开放标签研究,如果需要每30天可以接受最多3个疗程的他莫西芬,在此期间,参与者使用短信记录每天的流血情况。双盲对照期间,他莫西芬组报告在最初90天内阴道连续不出血的天数比安慰剂组少9.8天(P=0.001);在开放标签阶段,服用他莫西芬的女性得到了类似的疗效。在随机对照期,他莫西芬组参与者的满意度也更高。结论:短疗程的他莫昔芬减少了问题性出血,提高了使用者的满意度。《随机对照研究:新型的宫内节育器的2期临床研究》Obsteteric & Gynecology,2020年4月 (5)这种新型的宫内节育器,支架含有镍钛合金,铜仅位于靠近子宫角和子宫颈内口的位置,含有的铜和镍钛合金的剂量都很小;而且设计时为了方便放置,自带细线。因此,这种宫内节育器可能减少与铜相关的子宫痉挛和出血。在这项为期36个月2期研究中,纳入了286名女性,评价了总共5,640个月经周期的妊娠情况。宫内节育器的平均使用时间为2.7年;37.8%的女性使用该宫内节育器的时间达到36个月。在使用宫内节育器的第1年,每个月经周期的平均出血天数从7.6天(第1个月经周期)减少至5.2天(第13个月经周期)。主要不良反应是出血、疼痛。结论:这种新型的宫内节育器有效性高,且耐受性好。《系统回顾:延长宫内节育器使用时间的有效性和安全性》American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology,2020年7月 (6)文章系统地回顾了关于宫内节育器超过批准的有效时间后,是否仍能有效和安全的避孕。研究纳入了2篇关于含铜宫内节育器(批准有效期10年)和4篇关于左炔诺孕酮宫内节育器(批准有效期为5年)的研究。研究发现,左炔诺孕酮宫内节育器在第6和第7年合并妊娠率为0.02/100人年(95%置信区间,0.00-0.29)。超期使用后,每年不良事件发生率、或因不良事件取环的比率为0- 3.7/100。对于含铜宫内节育器,11年和12年的合并妊娠率为0.0/100人年(95%可信区间为0-0.8);在此期间,不良事件年发生率为0-4.6/100人。结论:左炔诺孕酮宫内节育器和含铜宫内节育器,延长使用的前两年的妊娠率、不良事件率、因副作用取出率都是很低的;但这些数据在数量和质量上都是有限的,不建议推广。乳腺癌的筛查乳腺癌的筛查首先需要对风险进行分层。没有卵巢癌、腹膜癌、乳腺癌个人史或家族史,没有遗传基因突变,10-30岁之间没有接受过胸部放疗的女性属于低危人群;有以上病史的女性属于高危。美国癌症协会建议女性45岁开始接受每年一次的钼靶筛查,55岁以后每两年一次。筛查方式:钼靶是首选,高危女性可使用MRI联合钼靶。《横向研究:简易乳房MRI与数字乳房合成技术在筛查致密乳房女性中乳腺癌的比较》JAMA,2020年2月 (7)乳腺密度高的女性患乳腺癌的风险增加,研究旨在比较简易乳房MRI和数字乳房合成技术对致密乳腺患者的筛查效果。共1516名女性参与了研究,平均年龄54岁。队列中,有17名浸润性乳腺癌和6名原位导管癌。MRI检测出全部17名浸润性乳腺癌和5名原位导管癌;数字合成技术仅检测出7例浸润性乳腺癌和2例原位癌。MRI敏感度为95.7%、特异性为86.7%;数字合成技术灵敏度为39.1%,特异性为97.4%(P=0.001,P

Since her tumor is small and low grade, would you do Oncotype DX recurrence score testing? Dr. Abraham recommends: Explain to the patient that her benefit from chemotherapy will be limited, but that she meets the tumor size requirement for the Oncotype DX assay and offer her the test. Case 2: A 57-year-old women who is postmenopausal with a grade 1 tumor that is 10mm, ER/PR positive, HER2 negative, with 4 of 17 positive lymph nodes. Is there an advantage to adding the Oncotype DX testing for this patient? Dr. Abraham recommends: Offer the patient chemotherapy; recommend against Oncotype DX testing.

Maggie Kudirka was a member of the Joffrey Concert Group in NYC when she was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer in June 2014. She was only 23 years old and had no risk factors for breast cancer other than being female. Results from a subsequent genetics screening showed that she did not carry the genes linked to breast cancer. Maggie had a large, aggressive tumor that grew very quickly and spread to her bones and lymph nodes. She moved back home to be with her family and began treatment at Mercy Medical Center in Baltimore, Maryland. Fortunately, her type of breast cancer (positive for Her2, ER & PR) responds very well to the drug Herceptin. Maggie's tumor began shrinking after her first chemo treatment on 7/1/14 and continued to shrink until it was completely gone. The pathology report following her double mastectomy on 12/26/14 found no cancer in either breast or lymph nodes. She had a pathological complete response. Six days after surgery, Maggie was back in the studio working to regain my strength, stamina, and technique. Maggie hopes to return to dance in NYC again. Once breast cancer metastasizes to another body part, it is very difficult to know if all the cancer has really left the body after treatment. Tiny, undetectable cancer cells could be lurking dormant in the body. If these cells come to life, the cancer will return. That is why metastatic (stage 4) breast cancer is considered incurable. To keep the cancer cells dormant, Maggie will remain on medications for the rest of her life or until a cure is found. The cost of these medications is enormous: $4,000 to $9,000 per dose, per drug. She receives two drugs every 3 weeks, and a 3rd drug every 4 weeks. Maggie is hoping to join a clinical trial testing a treatment that will keep her cancer from returning. Since the day of her diagnosis, Maggie began spreading the word about metastatic cancer by starting the "Bald Ballerina" campaign.  She now travels the country speaking and teaching to help educate and inspire young dancers.    The costs of battling cancer are enormous even with health insurance which does not cover all expenses. Maggie greatly appreciates donations in any amount for her medical expenses.
