青少年和年轻成人乳腺癌幸存者的全身治疗与心血管疾病

Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cancer among female adolescents and young adults (AYAs; 15-39 years). While advances in treatment have improved survival, cardiovascular disease (CVD) can result from systemic therapies, and CVD is a leading cause of death in AYA cancer survivors. AYAs with BC face nearly a four-fold increased risk of CVD compared to their peers without cancer. However, data on the effects of systemic treatment on CVD in this population remains limited. We estimated risk of CVD in AYAs diagnosed with invasive BC (2006-2020), who survived ≥2 years, and were diagnosed and treated in the Kaiser Permanente (KP) Northern and Southern California. Patients were categorized by receipt of anthracycline-, alkylating-, HER2-, platinum-, and taxane-based therapies within 2 years of diagnosis. We examined the cumulative incidence of CVD starting 2 years post-diagnosis and used Cox proportional hazards regression to determine factors associated with CVD. Among 3,071 AYAs, 35.1% were non-Hispanic (NH) White, 31.6% were Hispanic, 18.3% were NH Asian, and 8.2% were NH Black. Most received systemic therapy (90.6%), including anthracycline- and alkylator without HER2-targeted therapy (41.9%) and HER2-targeted therapy without anthracycline (20.9%). Fewer AYAs received a taxane and alkylator (13.0%) or anthracycline with alkylator and taxane along with a HER2-targeting agent (6.4%). Mean follow-up after cancer diagnosis was 7.2 years (range: 2.0-17.5). The 10-year cumulative incidence of CVD was highest among AYAs who received anthracycline/alkylator/taxane/HER2-targeting therapy (19.6%), intermediate for those with anthracycline/alkylator without HER2-targeting therapy (13.0%) and those who received HER2-targeted therapy without anthracycline (14.6%), and lowest for those who received taxane/alkylator (7.3%). In the multivariable model adjusted for demographic factors and radiation, compared to taxane/alkylator, anthracycline/alkylator/taxane/HER2-targeting therapy (hazard ratio (HR)=2.63, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.56-4.43); anthracycline/alkylator without HER2-targeting therapy (HR=1.75, CI 1.13-2.71); and HER2-targeting therapy without anthracycline (HR=2.13, CI 1.11-4.09) were associated with an increased risk of CVD. CVD risk was similar for taxane/alkylator and no systemic therapy. Other factors associated with higher risk of CVD included NH Black race/ethnicity (HR=1.90, CI 1.32-2.73 vs. NH White) and public health insurance (HR=1.67, CI 1.00-2.78 vs private). This study identifies AYA BC survivors at higher risk of CVD based on treatment regimens received, with highest risks found for those receiving anthracycline/alkylator/taxane/HER2 treatment combinations. In addition, AYAs of Black race/ethnicity and those with public health insurance experienced more CVD, underscoring the need for targeted interventions to mitigate these disparities.
