Leukemia Risk after Adjuvant Treatment of Early Breast Cancer

Abstract: Modern cancer treatment has substantially increased the survival and curability of patients with various malignancies. Therefore, favorable prognosis mandates for the evaluation of long-term complications of treatment. Since the late 1970s, adjuvant combination chemotherapy for operable breast cancer has come into widespread use. Several recent studies have estimated the risk of acute myeloid leukemia associated with these regimens. The purpose of this analysis is to discuss the risk of leukemia after early br… Show more

“…To our knowledge, this large population-based study is the first to evaluate racial/ethnic differences in risk of second primary cancers among invasive BC survivors between 2001 and 2010. Consistent with existing literature [16][17][18][19][20], our analysis demonstrates that BC survivors across all racial/ethnic backgrounds were frequently at increased risks of second primary BC and AML, with the greatest risk in more advanced stage index BC. Our study also suggests that Black and Asian/Pacific Islander women have increased relative risk and excess risk of AML that remains elevated even among early-stage (Stage I) invasive BC cases.…”

“…Mehrdad et al [7] reported a case study of a young female with breast cancer that developed acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) malignancy within a limited time of treatment. Balduzzi et al [8] revealed that most of the patients who showed secondary Leukemia after chemotherapy for their primary breast cancer had been treated with the combined use of alkylating agents and radiation therapy.…”
