Résumé

Clinical guidelines have recommended patients with high-risk breast cancer to extend adjuvant hormone therapy beyond 5 years. However, the prevalence, predictors, and outcomes of extended adjuvant hormone therapy in the real world remain unknown. By linking six Swedish health registries, we prospectively followed 13,168 patients with breast cancer (2005-2020) from their first prescription of tamoxifen or aromatase inhibitors and categorized them as extending or not extending adjuvant hormone therapy. Cox regression analysis was used to investigate whether extended therapy was associated with breast cancer outcomes. Among patients with breast cancer who were recommended to extend adjuvant hormone therapy by the national guidelines, the proportion of women who extended therapy increased 5 folds during the past 10 years, reaching 80.9% during 2018 to 2020. Patients were more likely to extend therapy after completing 5-year adjuvant hormone therapy if they were young [40 vs. ≥65 years: OR, 1.71; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.13-2.58], had positive lymph nodes (OR, 2.25; 95% CI, 1.85-2.73), had high tumor grade (grade 3 vs. 1: OR, 1.79; 95% CI, 1.34-2.39), received chemotherapy (OR, 5.22; 95% CI, 4.19-6.50), had first-degree relatives who died from breast cancer (OR, 1.84; 95% CI, 1.21-2.81), or had a high income (OR, 1.23; 95% CI, 1.01-1.49). Extended use of adjuvant hormone therapy was statistically significantly associated with improved disease-free survival (HR, 0.72; 95 CI%, 0.55-0.95). This study provides real-world evidence showing the use and improved breast cancer outcomes of extended adjuvant hormone therapy beyond 5 years. The proportion of patients with breast cancer extending adjuvant hormone therapy beyond 5 years has increased dramatically in recent years, which is associated with improved patient outcomes.
