The included studies were assessed for methodological quality with quality assessment of diagnosis accuracy studies(QUADAS) score tool. Histopathological analysis and/or clinical and/or radiological follow-up for at least 6 months were used as the reference standard. The data were extracted by two reviewers independently to analyze the sensitivity, specificity, summary receiver operating characteristic(SROC) curve, area under the curve(AUC), and heterogeneity.Results: The present study analyzed a total of 4 selected articles. The pool sensitivity was 0.773 [95% confidence interval(CI): 0.594-0.900]. The pooled specificity was 0.685(95% CI: 0.479-0.849) on basis of FEM. The pooled LR^+, LR^-, and DOR were 2.874(1.492-5.538), 0.293(0.146-0.589), and 14.891(3.238-68.475), respectively. The AUC was 0.8636(±0.0655), and the Q* index was 0.7942(±0.0636).Conclusions: Our results indicate that 18^F-FLT PET/CT or PET is useful to predict chemotherapy response in breast cancer with reasonable sensitivity, specificity and DOR. However, future larger scale clinical trials will be needed to assess the regimen of 18^F-FLT PET/CT or PET in monitoring the response to chemotherapy in breast cancer patients.展开更多

Methods: The following databases were searched from their inception until August 2017: Ovid Medline, Embase, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), and Allied and Alternative Medieine (AMED). We also searched four Chinese databases: Chinese BioMedical Database (CBM), China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), WANFANG Data, and Chinese VIP Database. Only the RCTs related to the effects of AA therapy on preventing constipation in breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy were included in this study. Quantitative syntheses of data from RCTs were conducted using RevMan 5.3 software. Study selection, data extraction, and validation were performed independently by two authors. Cochrane criteria for risk of bias were used to assess the methodological quality of the trials. Results: Four RCTs met the inclusion criteria, and most were of low methodological quality. Study participants in the AA plus routine care group showed significantly greater improvements in the response rate (risk ratio [RR] = 1.27, 95% confidence interval [CI] [1.14, 1.42], P 〈 0.01) with low heterogeneity (x2=2.31, P =0.31, F = 14%). In addition, when compared with routine care alone, one RCT suggested favorable statistically significant effects of AA plus routine care on Constipation Assessment Scale (CAS; mean difference [MD] =-5.07, 95% CI [-6.86, -3.28], P 〈 0.01). Furthermore, when compared with routine care alone, one RCT suggested positive statistically significant effects of AA plus routine care on Patient Assessment of Constipation-Quality of Life (PAC-QOL; MD = -1.26, 95% CI [-1.59, -0.93], P 〈 0.01). Conclusions: Overall, as a potential safety therapy, only weak evidence can support the hypothesis that AA can effectively prevent constipation in breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.展开更多

Thus, we systematically searched cohort and case-control studies investigating the associations of active and passive smoking with breast cancer risk among Chinese females in four English databases(PubMed, Embase, ScienceDirect, and Wiley) and three Chinese databases(CNKI, WanFang, and VIP). Fifty-one articles(3 cohort studies and 48 casecontrol studies) covering 17 provinces of China were finally included in this systematic review. Among Chinese females, there was significant association between passive smoking and this risk of breast cancer [odds ratio(OR): 1.62; 95% confidence interval(CI): 1.39–1.85; I2 = 75.8%, P < 0.001; n = 26] but no significant association between active smoking and the risk of breast cancer(OR: 1.04; 95% CI: 0.89–1.20; I2 = 13.9%, P = 0.248; n = 31). The OR of exposure to husband's smoking and to smoke in the workplace was 1.27(95% CI: 1.07–1.50) and 1.66(95% CI: 1.07–2.59), respectively. The OR of light and heavy passive smoking was 1.11 and 1.41, respectively, for women exposed to their husband's smoke(< 20 and ≥ 20 cigarettes per day), and 1.07 and 1.87, respectively, for those exposed to smoke in the workplace(< 300 and ≥ 300 min of exposure per day). These results imply that passive smoking is associated with an increased risk of breast cancer, and the risk seems to increase as the level of passive exposure to smoke increases among Chinese females. Women with passive exposure to smoke in the workplace have a higher risk of breast cancer than those exposed to their husband's smoking.展开更多

This meta-analysis was performed to explore the overall effect of migraine on breast cancer risk. Method: An electronic search of different major databases was conducted, including PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and the Cochrane library until February 1st, 2015. Of 652 retrieved studies, six population-based studies including two cohort studies with 130,812 and four case-control studies with 14,396 people were included in the analysis. Results: There was an inverse relationship between migraine and breast cancer risk (OR = 0.77;95% CI: 0.64, 0.92). Conclusion: The results of this meta-analysis showed that women with migraine history have a decreased risk of breast cancer. Further biological studies are needed to address the association.展开更多

Materials and Methods: Relevant studies were identified by systematic searches of PUBMED and COCHRANE databases, published in English. To ensure homogeneity of all included studies, selection criteria were established and all the studies were scored according to Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies (QUADAS) criteria. Meta-analysis was done on the diagnostic performance data from eligible studies. Draw funnel plots to explore the publication bias. Draw forest plots to exclude abnormal data(s). Use Spearman correlation coefficients p, likelihood ratio x2 test and I2 index in order to indicate heterogeneity. Estimate and compare the weighted summary sensitivities (SEs), specificities (SPs), diagnostic odds ratios (DORs), and summary receiver operating characteristic (SROC) curves of PET and other examinations (measuring the size of tumor). Subgroup analyses were performed to identify heterogeneity potential sources. Do Z test to find significant difference between each results. Results: 27 groups of data in 19 eligible studies were included with a total of 1164 subjects evaluated by 18F-FDG PET or PET/CT and 291 ones evaluated by other examinations. Funnel plots showed the existence of publication bias. Spearman correlation coefficients p, likelihood ratio x2 test and I2 index explored the heterogeneity. The Results of the Weighted Summary: SEPET was significantly higher than SED [83.7% (329/393) vs. 59.0% (98/166), p SPPET was significantly higher than SPD [66.8% (512/766) vs. 40.8% (51/125), p DORPET was significantly higher than DORD (14.02 vs. 1.29, p AUCPET and Q*PET were both significantly higher than AUCD and Q*D (AUCs 0.8838 vs. 0.6046;Q*s 0.8143 vs. 0.5788, p st or 2nd cycle of NAC was a litter better than later with higher SE (p = 0.083). Standardized uptake value (SUV) reduction rate between 40% and 45% as FDG-PET response threshold value was used for its highest SP (p = 0.01), while no significant difference was found comparing SEs and DORs (p > 0.05). Trend of higher SE and lower SP were found at ER negative breast cancers than ER positive ones (SEs 93.94% vs. 83.33%;SPs 35.76% vs. 62.24%), though Z test did not find significant difference (p > 0.05). Conclusion: This meta-analysis showed that FDG-PET or PET/CT does have a higher global accuracy in assessing the response for NAC in breast cancer. Comparing with clinical response, metabolic response plays a potential role in directing therapy for breast cancer. Factors which affected the accuracy of FDG-PET assessment included PET timing point, SUV reduction rate as threshold value and ER expression.展开更多

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the role of manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) in breast cancer-related lymphedema treatment. Methods: The electronic databases of EMBASE, PubMed, Web of Science, and The Cochrane Library were searched to find English articles on MLD which were published before January 2020. After two evaluators selected the studies and independently evaluated literature quality, meta-analysis was carried out with RevMan 5.3 software. The outcome index of lymphedema treatment changed in edema volume. Results: The study included six RCTs of 364 patients and the meta-analysis showed no significant difference in the effect of MLD for BCRL compared with other treatments (mean difference, 3.76;95% confidence interval, -35.09 to 42.62;Z, 0.19;p = 0.850). Conclusion: MLD can relieve the body tissue, rapidly improve local condition, and enhance complete decongestive therapy (CDT) efficacy. MLD can prevent BCRL and improve the symptoms of stage I lymphedema. It should be widely applied to prevent BCRL from entering an irreversible state.展开更多

文摘Purpose: To determine the diagnostic performance of 3'-deoxy-3'-18F-fluorothymidine positron emission tomography/computed tomography(FLT PET/CT) and FLT PET for evaluating response to chemotherapy in patients with breast cancer.Methods: Databases such as Pub Med(MEDLINE included) and excerpta medica database(EMBASE), were searched for relevant original articles. The included studies were assessed for methodological quality with quality assessment of diagnosis accuracy studies(QUADAS) score tool. Histopathological analysis and/or clinical and/or radiological follow-up for at least 6 months were used as the reference standard. The data were extracted by two reviewers independently to analyze the sensitivity, specificity, summary receiver operating characteristic(SROC) curve, area under the curve(AUC), and heterogeneity.Results: The present study analyzed a total of 4 selected articles. The pool sensitivity was 0.773 [95% confidence interval(CI): 0.594-0.900]. The pooled specificity was 0.685(95% CI: 0.479-0.849) on basis of FEM. The pooled LR^+, LR^-, and DOR were 2.874(1.492-5.538), 0.293(0.146-0.589), and 14.891(3.238-68.475), respectively. The AUC was 0.8636(±0.0655), and the Q* index was 0.7942(±0.0636).Conclusions: Our results indicate that 18^F-FLT PET/CT or PET is useful to predict chemotherapy response in breast cancer with reasonable sensitivity, specificity and DOR. However, future larger scale clinical trials will be needed to assess the regimen of 18^F-FLT PET/CT or PET in monitoring the response to chemotherapy in breast cancer patients.

文摘Previous studies suggested that smoking and passive smoking could increase the risk of breast cancer, but the results were inconsistent, especially for Chinese females. Thus, we systematically searched cohort and case-control studies investigating the associations of active and passive smoking with breast cancer risk among Chinese females in four English databases(PubMed, Embase, ScienceDirect, and Wiley) and three Chinese databases(CNKI, WanFang, and VIP). Fifty-one articles(3 cohort studies and 48 casecontrol studies) covering 17 provinces of China were finally included in this systematic review. Among Chinese females, there was significant association between passive smoking and this risk of breast cancer [odds ratio(OR): 1.62; 95% confidence interval(CI): 1.39–1.85; I2 = 75.8%, P < 0.001; n = 26] but no significant association between active smoking and the risk of breast cancer(OR: 1.04; 95% CI: 0.89–1.20; I2 = 13.9%, P = 0.248; n = 31). The OR of exposure to husband's smoking and to smoke in the workplace was 1.27(95% CI: 1.07–1.50) and 1.66(95% CI: 1.07–2.59), respectively. The OR of light and heavy passive smoking was 1.11 and 1.41, respectively, for women exposed to their husband's smoke(< 20 and ≥ 20 cigarettes per day), and 1.07 and 1.87, respectively, for those exposed to smoke in the workplace(< 300 and ≥ 300 min of exposure per day). These results imply that passive smoking is associated with an increased risk of breast cancer, and the risk seems to increase as the level of passive exposure to smoke increases among Chinese females. Women with passive exposure to smoke in the workplace have a higher risk of breast cancer than those exposed to their husband's smoking.
文摘Objective: The relationship between migraine and breast cancer risk has been reported inconsistently across different epidemiological studies. This meta-analysis was performed to explore the overall effect of migraine on breast cancer risk. Method: An electronic search of different major databases was conducted, including PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and the Cochrane library until February 1st, 2015. Of 652 retrieved studies, six population-based studies including two cohort studies with 130,812 and four case-control studies with 14,396 people were included in the analysis. Results: There was an inverse relationship between migraine and breast cancer risk (OR = 0.77;95% CI: 0.64, 0.92). Conclusion: The results of this meta-analysis showed that women with migraine history have a decreased risk of breast cancer. Further biological studies are needed to address the association.

文摘Background:The current standard of care for advanced human epidermal growth factor receptor 2(HER2)‐positive breast cancer is pertuzumab plus trastuzumab and docetaxel as first‐line therapy.However,with the development of newer treatment regimens,there is a lack of evidence regarding which is the optimal treatment strategy.The aim of this network meta‐analysis was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of first‐line regimens for advanced HER2‐positive breast cancer by indirect comparisons.Methods:A systematic review and Bayesian network meta‐analysis were conducted.The PubMed,EMBASE,and Cochrane Library databases were searched for relevant articles published through to December 2023.The hazard ratio(HR)and 95%credible interval(CrI)were used to compare progressionfree survival(PFS)between treatments,and the odds ratio and 95%CrI were used to compare the objective response rate(ORR)and safety.Results:Twenty randomized clinical trials that included 15 regimens and 7094 patients were analyzed.Compared with the traditional trastuzumab and docetaxel regimen,PFS was longer on the pyrotinib and trastuzumab plus docetaxel regimen(HR:0.41,95%CrI:0.22–0.75)and the pertuzumab and trastuzumab plus docetaxel regimen(HR:0.65,95%CrI:0.43–0.98).Consistent with the results for PFS,the ORR was better on the pyrotinib and trastuzumab plus docetaxel regimen and the pertuzumab and trastuzumab plus docetaxel regimen than on the traditional trastuzumab and docetaxel regimen.The surface under the cumulative ranking curve indicated that the pyrotinib and trastuzumab plus docetaxel regimen was most likely to rank first in achieving the best PFS and ORR.Comparable results were found for grade≥3 AE rates of≥10%.Conclusions:Our results suggest that the pyrotinib and trastuzumab plus docetaxel regimen is most likely to be the optimal first‐line therapy for patients with HER2‐positive breast cancer.
文摘Purpose: The effect of manual lymphatic drainage in patients with breast cancer is controversial. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the role of manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) in breast cancer-related lymphedema treatment. Methods: The electronic databases of EMBASE, PubMed, Web of Science, and The Cochrane Library were searched to find English articles on MLD which were published before January 2020. After two evaluators selected the studies and independently evaluated literature quality, meta-analysis was carried out with RevMan 5.3 software. The outcome index of lymphedema treatment changed in edema volume. Results: The study included six RCTs of 364 patients and the meta-analysis showed no significant difference in the effect of MLD for BCRL compared with other treatments (mean difference, 3.76;95% confidence interval, -35.09 to 42.62;Z, 0.19;p = 0.850). Conclusion: MLD can relieve the body tissue, rapidly improve local condition, and enhance complete decongestive therapy (CDT) efficacy. MLD can prevent BCRL and improve the symptoms of stage I lymphedema. It should be widely applied to prevent BCRL from entering an irreversible state.
文摘Many studies were published to evaluate the association between Nijmegen breakage syndrome 1(NBS1)657del5polymorphism and breast cancer risk,but the results remained inconsistent.To derive a more precise estimation on the possible association,we performed a meta-analysis of previous published studies.Case-control studies on the association between NBS1657del5 polymorphisms and breast cancer risk were included into this meta-analysis.We used the odds ratio(OR)with 95%confidence interval(95%CI)to assess the strength of the association.Ten studies with a total of 25,365 subjects were identified and included into this meta-analysis.Meta-analysis of those ten studies showed that there was a significant association between NBS1657del5 polymorphisms and breast cancer risk(pooled OR=2.66,95%CI 1.82-3.90,P<0.001).The cumulative meta-analyses showed a trend of a more significant association between NBS1 657del5 polymorphisms and breast cancer risk as data accumulated by publication year.Thus,our meta-analysis suggests that there was a significant association between NBS1 657del5 polymorphisms and breast cancer risk,and NBS1 657del5 polymorphism results in an increased risk of breast cancer.
文摘Multiple studies have investigated the associations between fluvatatin and the risk of breast cancer(BC),but their results were conflicting.A meta-analysis of observational studies published regarding this subject was conducted in the present study.It aims to estimate the associations between fluvastatin use and the risk of BC.Pubmed and chinese national knowledge infrastructure(CNKI) database was searched up to January,2015 to identify eligible observational studies,and the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale(NOS) was used to assess quality of the studies.Pooled relative risk(RR) estimates and 95% confidence intervals(CIs) were calculated(fixed effect model:Mantel-Haenszel).Heterogeneities were evaluated before the calculation.A sensitivity analysis was also conducted.In total,four studies contributed to the analysis.Overall,fluvastatin use negatively correlated with BC risk(RR = 0.74,95 % CI = 0.58,0.95).In conclusion,fluvastatin use may reduce the risk of BC,but more research is needed to confirm this finding.
