Diabetes, Abnormal Glucose, Dyslipidemia, Hypertension and Risk of Inflammatory and Other Breast Cancer
A partir des données des registres américains des cancers et de la base Medicare portant sur des patientes âgées de plus de 66 ans sur la période 1992-2011, cette étude évalue l'association entre un diabète, un taux de glycémie anormal, une dyslipidémie, une hypertension et le risque de cancer du sein inflammatoire et d'autres types de cancers du sein en fonction du stade la tumeur au diagnostic (209 929 cas et 200 00 témoins)
Background: Obesity has been associated with substantially higher risk of inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) than other breast cancer. Here, we assess whether comorbidities of obesity, namely diabetes, abnormal glucose, dyslipidemia, and hypertension, are differentially related to risk of inflammatory breast cancer and other breast cancers by tumor stage at diagnosis (localized/regional/distant/unstaged). Methods: We used linked SEER-Medicare data, with female breast cancer cases aged 66+ years identified by SEER registries (years 1992-2011). We divided first breast cancers into IBC (N=2306), locally advanced non-IBC (LABC) (N=10347), and other (N=197276). We selected female controls (N=200,000) from a stratified 5% random sample of Medicare recipients alive and breast cancer free. We assessed exposures until 12 months before diagnosis/selection using Medicare claims data. We estimated odds ratios (ORs) and 99.9% confidence intervals (CI) using unconditional logistic regression. Results: Diabetes was associated with increased risk of distant IBC (98.5% of IBC cases) (OR 1.44; 99.9% CI 1.21-1.71), distant (OR 1.24; 99.9% CI 1.09-1.40) and regional (OR 1.29 (99.9% CI 1.14-1.45) LABC, and distant (OR 1.23; 99.9% CI 1.10-1.39) and unstaged (OR 1.32; 99.9% CI 1.18-1.47) other breast cancers. Dyslipidemia was associated with reduced risk of IBC (OR 0.80; 95% CI 0.67-0.94) and other breast cancers except localized disease. Results were similar by tumor estrogen receptor status. Abnormal glucose levels and hypertension had little association with risk of any tumor type. Conclusion: Associations with diabetes and dyslipidemia were similar for distant stage IBC and other advanced tumors. Impact: If confirmed, such findings could suggest avenues for prevention.%U
