  • Clinical characteristics and primary treatment of prostate cancer in Sweden between 1996 and 2005 : Data from the national prostate cancer register in Sweden
  • 2007

    • Objective. The incidence of prostate cancer is rising rapidly in Sweden and there is a need to better understand the pattern of diagnosis, tumor characteristics and treatment. Material and methods. Between 1996 and 2005, all new cases of adenocarcinoma of the prostate gland were intended to be registered in the National Prostate Cancer Register (NPCR). This register contains information on diagnosing unit, date of diagnosis, cause of diagnosis, tumor grade, tumor stage according to the TNM classification in force, serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels at diagnosis and primary treatment given within the first 6 months after diagnosis. Results. In total, 72 028 patients were registered, comprising >97% of all pertinent incident cases of prostate cancer in the Swedish Cancer Register (SCR). During the study period there was a considerable decrease in median age at the time of diagnosis, a stage migration towards smaller tumors, a decrease in median serum PSA values at diagnosis, a decrease in the age-standardized incidence rate of men diagnosed with distant metastases or with a PSA level of >100 ng/ml at diagnosis and an increase in the proportion of tumors with Gleason score ≤6. Relatively large geographical differences in the median age at diagnosis and the age-standardized incidence of cases with category T1c tumors were observed. Treatment with curative intent increased dramatically and treatment patterns varied according to geographical region. In men with localized tumors and a PSA level of <20 ng/ml at diagnosis, expectant treatment was more commonly used in those aged ≥75 years than in those aged <75 years. Also, the pattern of endocrine treatment varied in different parts of Sweden. Conclusions. All changes in the register seen over time are consistent with increased diagnostic activity, especially PSA testing, resulting in an increased number of cases with early disease, predominantly tumors in category T1c. The patterns of diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer vary considerably in different parts of Sweden. The NPCR continues to be an important source for research, epidemiological surveillance of the incidence, diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer

  • Aromatase inhibitors use and risk for cardiovascular disease in breast cancer patients : A population-based cohort study
  • 2021
  • Ingår i: Breast. - : Elsevier. - 0960-9776 .- 1532-3080. ; 59, s. 157-164
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • BACKGROUND: Prior studies regarding use of Aromatase inhibitors (AIs) and risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) have shown conflicting results. This retrospective cohort study aimed to investigate whether AIs use affects risk for CVD events in postmenopausal breast cancer survivors.METHODS: Using a retrospective cohort study design, four CVD outcomes; heart failure or cardiomyopathy, arrhythmia, acute ischemic heart disease and ischemic stroke or Transient Ischemic Attack were compared with uni- and multivariate Cox regression analyses according to exposure to endocrine therapy (use of AI, tamoxifen or AI/tamoxifen sequentially) or no endocrine therapy.RESULTS: In total 15815 postmenopausal women, surgically treated to early breast cancer during 2006-2012, were included. No significantly increased risk for CVD events was observed in patients with AI use in the whole cohort. However, two subgroup analyses showed increased risk for CVD events in the AI/tamoxifen sequential group; heart failure in patients older than 75 years (Hazard Ratio (HR) 2.44; 95% Confidence Interval (CI): 1.32-4.54) and arrhythmia in patients without prior CVD (HR 1.45; 95% CI: 1.01-2.10). An increased risk for arrhythmia and acute ischemic heart disease in patients with at least four years of AI treatment compared with no or short-time exposure was observed (HR 2.12; 95% CI: 1.40-3.25 for arrhythmia; HR 2.03; 95% CI: 1.15-3.58 for ischemic heart disease).CONCLUSION: Our results indicate an increased risk for ischemic heart disease and arrhythmia in patients treated for more than four years with AIs. This should be considered in the risk-benefit assessment concerning endocrine therapy.
