Abstract
Background
We aimed to study the impact of first-degree family history on patients with endometrial cancer.
Methods
We conducted a retrospective chart review from January 1990 to June 2016, comparing stage I endometrial cancer patients with and without a sporadic family history of cancers. We collected the patients’ demographic information, tumor characteristics, and treatment plans. During the follow-up period, patient information on tumor recurrence and survival was collected. The chi-square test was used to assess the associations between categorical variables. The Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to estimate multivariate-adjusted hazard ratios (95% confidence interval (CI)).
Results
Among the 1737 patients with stage I endometrial cancer, 709 had a positive first-degree family history of cancers and 1028 had negative family history (FH) of cancers. Patients with positive FH were more likely to be older, have stage IB disease, and receive adjuvant radiotherapy; however, the difference was not statistically significant. At 5 years follow up, patients with a positive family history had longer time to recurrence (TTR) than their negative FH counterparts. Maternal family history of cancer was the most common, followed by a sister’s history of cancer, paternal history, brother’s history, and offspring history of cancer. Breast, endometrial, and colon cancers are the most common cancers among first-degree relatives.
Conclusion
Endometrial cancer patients with sporadic first-degree FH of cancers share similar demographics and tumor characteristics compared to their counterpart with slightly increased likelihood to be older, with stage IB disease and have a longer TTR compared to their negative counterpart.
期刊介绍:
Founded in 1870 as "Archiv für Gynaekologie", Archives of Gynecology and Obstetrics has a long and outstanding tradition. Since 1922 the journal has been the Organ of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Gynäkologie und Geburtshilfe. "The Archives of Gynecology and Obstetrics" is circulated in over 40 countries world wide and is indexed in "PubMed/Medline" and "Science Citation Index Expanded/Journal Citation Report".
The journal publishes invited and submitted reviews; peer-reviewed original articles about clinical topics and basic research as well as news and views and guidelines and position statements from all sub-specialties in gynecology and obstetrics.
