Disease-free survival (DFS) was the primary endpoint, and overall survival (OS) was the secondary endpoint. A second-order interaction was assessed among treatment, BMI, and estrogen receptor (ER) status. Results: There was no difference in DFS or OS according to BMI in the non-docetaxel group, while reduced DFS and OS were observed with increasing BMI category in the docetaxel group. Adjusted hazard ratios for DFS and OS were, respectively, 1.12 (95% CI, 0.98 to 1.50; P = .21) and 1.27 (95% CI, 1.01 to 1.60; P = .04) for overweight versus lean groups and were 1.32 (95% CI, 1.08 to 1.62; P = .007) and 1.63 (95% CI, 1.27 to 2.09; P < .001), respectively, for obese versus lean groups. Similar results were obtained when considering ER-negative and ER-positive tumors separately and when considering only patients who received a relative dose intensity ≥ 85% for docetaxel. A joint modifying role of BMI and ER status on treatment effect was evident for DFS (adjusted P = .06) and OS (adjusted P = .04). Conclusion: This retrospective analysis of a large adjuvant trial highlights a differential response to docetaxel according to BMI, which calls for a body composition–based re-evaluation of the risk-benefit ratio of the use of taxanes in breast cancer. These results now must be confirmed in additional series.]]> Wed 14 Dec 2022 15:49:14 AEDT ]]> Absolute benefit of adjuvant endocrine therapies for premenopausal women with hormone receptor–positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2–negative early breast cancer: TEXT and SOFT Trials https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:22946 Wed 11 Apr 2018 16:42:13 AEST ]]> Participant-reported symptoms and their effect on long-term adherence in the International Breast Cancer Intervention Study I (IBIS-I) https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29519 .05). In both treatment arms, we observed significant trends for lower adherence with increasing severity for all symptoms (P < .01) except headaches (P = .054). Conclusion: In the IBIS-I trial, experiencing predefined symptoms in the first 6 months reduced long-term adherence. Effects were similar between treatment arms, suggesting that women were attributing age-related symptoms to preventive therapy. Interventions were required to support symptom management.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 12:50:17 AEST ]]> Panel testing for familial breast cancer: calibrating the tension between research and clinical care https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24890 Wed 09 Feb 2022 15:54:09 AEDT ]]> Randomized trial of a hypofractionated radiation regimen for the treatment of localized prostate cancer https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:31072 v standard], 0.96; 90% CI, 0.77 to 1.2). Ten deaths as a result of prostate cancer occurred in the short arm and 12 in the standard arm. No significant differences were detected between arms for grade ≥ 3 late genitourinary and GI toxicity. Conclusion: The hypofractionated RT regimen used in this trial was not inferior to conventional RT and was not associated with increased late toxicity. Hypofractionated RT is more convenient for patients and should be considered for intermediate-risk prostate cancer.]]> Wed 02 Mar 2022 14:26:55 AEDT ]]> Anastrozole-induced carpal tunnel syndrome: results from the international breast cancer intervention study II prevention trial https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23224 Thu 04 Nov 2021 10:40:21 AEDT ]]> Annual hazard rates of recurrence for breast cancer during 24 years of follow-up: results from the International Breast Cancer Study Group Trials I to V https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24426 Thu 04 Nov 2021 10:39:39 AEDT ]]> Impact of two supportive care interventions on anxiety, depression, quality of life, and unmet needs in patients with nonlocalized breast and colorectal cancers https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:7568 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:42:03 AEDT ]]> Results of a phase III, randomized, placebo-controlled study of sorafenib in combination with Carboplatin and Paclitaxel as second-line treatment in patients with unresectable stage III or stage IV melanoma https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:7958 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:34:56 AEDT ]]> Bcl-2 antisense (oblimersen sodium) plus dacarbazine in patients with advanced melanoma: the oblimersen melanoma study group https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:995 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:29:49 AEDT ]]> Predictors of vinorelbine pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics in patients with cancer https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:989 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:29:49 AEDT ]]> Prognostic value of a combined estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, Ki-67, and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 immunohistochemical score and comparison with the genomic health recurrence score in early breast cancer https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:13280 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:15:16 AEDT ]]> Duration of short-course androgen suppression therapy and the risk of death as a result of prostate cancer https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:13279 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:15:16 AEDT ]]> Capecitabine versus classical cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, and fluorouracil as first-line chemotherapy for advanced breast cancer https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:13278 2 twice daily for 14 of every 21 days; n = 107) or continuously (650 mg/m2 twice daily for 21 of every 21 days; n = 107), or to classical CMF (oral cyclophosphamide 100 mg/m2 days 1 to 14 with intravenous methotrexate 40 mg/m2 and fluorouracil 600 mg/m2 on days 1 and 8 every 28 days; n = 109). The primary end point was quality-adjusted progression-free survival (PFS); secondary end points included PFS, overall survival (OS), objective tumor response, and adverse events. Intermittent and continuous capecitabine were to be compared first and, if similar (P > .05), combined for definitive comparisons versus CMF. Results: Quality-adjusted PFS (P = .2), objective tumor response rate (20%; P = .8), and PFS (median, 6 months; hazard ratio [HR], 0.86; 95% CI, 0.67 to 1.10; P = .2) were similar in women assigned capecitabine versus CMF. OS was longer in women assigned capecitabine rather than CMF (median, 22 v 18 months; HR, 0.72; 95% CI, 0.55 to 0.94; P = .02). Febrile neutropenia, infection, stomatitis, and serious adverse events were more common with CMF; hand-foot syndrome was more common with capecitabine. Conclusion: Capecitabine improved OS by being similarly active, less toxic, and more tolerable than CMF. Capecitabine is a good first-line chemotherapy option for women with advanced breast cancer who are unsuited to more intensive regimens.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:15:16 AEDT ]]> Effect of body mass index on recurrences in tamoxifen and anastrozole treated women: an exploratory analysis from the ATAC trial https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:11280 35 kg/m2) at baseline had more recurrences than those women with a low BMI (BMI < 23 kg/m2; adjusted hazard ratio [HR], 1.39; 95% CI, 1.06 to 1.82; Pheterogeneity = .03) and significantly more distant recurrences (adjusted HR, 1.46; 95% CI, 1.07 to 1.61; Pheterogeneity = .01). Overall, the relative benefit of anastrozole versus tamoxifen was nonsignificantly better in thin women compared to overweight women. Conclusion: These results confirm the poorer prognosis of obese women with early-stage breast cancer. Recurrence rates were lower for anastrozole than tamoxifen for all BMI quintiles. Our results suggest that the relative efficacy of anastrozole compared to tamoxifen is greater in thin postmenopausal women and higher doses or more complete inhibitors might be more effective in overweight women, but this requires independent confirmation.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:12:44 AEDT ]]> Prediction of risk of distant recurrence using the 21-gene recurrence score in node-negative and node-positive postmenopausal patients with breast cancer treated with anastrozole or tamoxifen: a TransATAC Study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:11225 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:11:14 AEDT ]]> Meta-analysis of breast cancer outcomes in adjuvant trials of aromatase inhibitors versus tamoxifen https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:11170 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:10:42 AEDT ]]> Capecitabine, bevacizumab, and mitomycin in first-line treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer: results of the Australasian Gastrointestinal Trials Group Randomized Phase III MAX Study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:10494 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:08:58 AEDT ]]> Obesity and risk of recurrence or death after adjuvant endocrine therapy with letrozole or tamoxifen in the Breast International Group 1-98 trial https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:21393 = 30 kg/m²) had slightly poorer OS (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.19; 95% CI, 0.99 to 1.44) than patients with normal BMI (< 25 kg/m²), whereas no trend in OS was observed in overweight (BMI 25 to < 30 kg/m²) versus normal-weight patients (HR = 1.02; 95% CI, 0.86 to 1.20). Treatment-by-BMI interactions were not statistically significant. The HRs for OS comparing obese versus normal BMI were HR = 1.22 (95% CI, 0.93 to 1.60) and HR = 1.18 (95% CI, 0.91 to 1.52) in the letrozole and tamoxifen groups, respectively.
