1 NOVI MODALITETI U LIJEČENJU KARCINOMA DOJKE: GDJE SMO SAD? Prof dr Ermina Iljazović Medicinski fakultet Doktorski studij, Dec. 2014; Farmaceutski fakultet

2 OUTLINE Pregled terapijskih opcija Updates u dijagnostici i terapiji Napretci u hormonalnoj terapiji Chemotherapija i noviteti Oncotype Dx Targeted therapy advances Follow-up and what can I do

3 Howlader N. et all. SEER Cancer Statistic Rewiev: Breast; 2011 AMONG WOMEN BREAST CANCER IS THE MOST COMMONLY DIAGNOSED FORM OF MALIGNANT DISEASE

4 new cases per year PROJECTED NUMBER OF BREAST CANCERS TO

5 risk of death from cancer before age 75 (%) STOPA SMRTNOSTI OD KARCINOMA DOJKE % 3% 2% 1% 0% year of death

6 ZAŠTO? Incidenca je u porastu Mamografski skrining Faktori okoline Mortalitet je u padu Rana detekcija Bolje terapijske opcije

7 Terapijski pristupi

8 TERAPIJSKE OPCIJE KARCINOMA DOJKE Lokalna terapija Lumpektomija + radijacija Mastektomija (+/- radiation in more advanced disease) Cilj: tretirati primarno sijelo Sistemska terapija Kemoterapija Hormonalna terapija Ciljana terapija

9 ŠTA ODREDJUJE TERAPIJSKI SLIJED? Klinički/patološki stadij i tip tumora Biološke karakteristike tumora

10 FAKTORI KOJI UTIČU NA TIP TRETMANA Dob pacijenta Histološki podtip & Gradus Veličina tumora Status limfnih čvorova Status hormonskih receptora Pozitivni ili Negativni Her-2 neu Expresija IHC graded 1+, 2+, 3+ FISH amplified

11

12 PROGNOSTICKI FAKTOR PREDPOSTAVLJAJU KLINIČKO PONAŠANJE TUMORA Prediktivni indikatori udružen sa efektivnošću terapije Prognosticki faktori udruženi sa dužinom perioda bez bolesti i ukupnog preživljavanja u odsustvu adjuvantne terapije

13 STAGING BREAST CANCER

14 RANI STADIJI BOLESTI Hormoni Herceptin Chemo Clinical Trial Hormon pozitivni HER-2 pozitivni 60% 20% Rizik recidiva Pristup novim tretmanima Veličina tumor/ Gradus / Dob / Co-morbiditet

15 Adjuvantna Kemoterapija Terapija koja slijedi primarni tretman; kemoterapija, zračenje...

16 PROGRESS IN CHEMOTHERAPY FOR EARLY STAGE BREAST CANCER 1970s Combination chemotherapy (CMF) Use of anthracyclines Addition of taxanes Superior taxane containing regimens 2000s Addition of trastuzumab BUT: ALL chemotherapy is associated with toxicities and risks need better ways to identify which patients will benefit from treatment

17 ADJUVANTNA KEMOTHERAPIJA Stepen benefita varira ovisno od statusa limfnih čvorova i dobi pacijenta. Stepen benefita varira ovisno od sensitiviteta tumora za hormone (ER+ vs. ER-)

18 SIDE EFFECTS Kardijala toksičnost Anthracyclini povečavaju rizik od kongestivnog srčanog popuštanja Taxani povečavaju aritmije Neuropatije Taxanes Hypersensitivnost Taxanes, zahtijevaju steroide Ovarijalna ablacija Prematurna menopausa Infertilnost, Smanjen kvalitet života, aficiranost skeleta Secondarni maligniteti

19 SO HOW CAN WE DO BETTER? Better selection of patients for treatment with chemotherapy Treat only those patients who are most likely to recur AND who will therefore benefit most from the addition of chemotherapy Take advantage of genomics

20 Early Stage Breast Cancer Overtreatment & Inadequate Treatment Clinical features are not sufficiently predictive of relapse after primary therapy, resulting in Overtreatment, because most patients with early stage disease will not have a future recurrence Inadequate treatment, because either treatment is not given because of favorable clinical features, or relapse occurs despite treatment

21 Hormonalna terapija kod postmenopauzalnih žena

22 Aromatase inhibitori- mehanizmi djelovanja Smith et al., N Engl J Med 348(24):

23 AROMATASE INHIBITORI Anastrazole (Arimidex), Femara (Letrozole), Aromasin (Exemestane) Poboljšavaju ishod kod postmenopausalnih žena Side Effects Osteopenia, Osteoporosis, Povečan rizik fractura Moguć porast holesterola Arthralgias

24 ESTROGEN RECEPTOR CORRELATES INVERSELY WITH: Histological and nuclear grade Tumor proliferative index Lymphocitic infiltration Tumor necrosis

25 ER/PR NEGATIVNOST KORELIRA SA LOŠIJOM PROGNOZOM ER receptor positivnost je bolji prediktor ukupnog preživljavanja u odnosu na DFS Kulka et all., 2002

38 ONCOTYPE DX The Oncotype DX test is a diagnostic test that helps identify which women with early-stage, estrogen-receptor positive and lymph-nodenegative breast cancer are more likely to benefit from adding chemotherapy to their hormonal treatment. This test also helps assess the likelihood that an individual woman s breast cancer will return. To help doctors figure out a woman s risk of early-stage, estrogen-receptor-positive breast cancer coming back (recurrence), as well as how likely she is to benefit from chemotherapy after breast cancer surgery. To help doctors figure out a woman s risk of DCIS (ductal carcinoma in situ) coming back (recurrence) and/or the risk of a new invasive cancer developing in the same breast, as well as how likely she is to benefit from radiation therapy after DCIS surgery.

50 Biological or Targeted Therapy

51 TARGETED THERAPIES FOR EARLY STAGE BREAST CANCER Treatments that target specific proteins or receptors expressed by tumor Hormonal therapy was the first targeted therapy for breast cancer Monoclonal antibodies Trastuzumab (Herceptin)

52 LOCALLY ADVANCED BREAST CANCER Same Treatment but Different Sequence Systemic therapy first (CT/HT) Definitive surgery later

53 Metastatic disease: Principles of Treatment Hormonal therapy for indolent disease Single agent chemotherapy for aggressive/symptomatic disease or disease not responding to hormonal therapy Polyagent chemotherapy for visceral crisis or disease requiring rapid response Iv bisphosphonates for bone secondaries

54 BREAST CANCER TREATMENT: PROGRESS AND PROMISE Chemotherapy Better treatments Progress toward targeting only those who will benefit Hormonal therapy AIs improve outcome in postmenopausal women Premenopausal women optimal hormonal treatment still unknown Targeted therapy Trastuzumab decreases risk of recurrence and improves survival Promising new agents being studied
