    Abstract: 168 Background: The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of hypnotherapy versus gabapentin for the treatment of hot flashes in women with an increased risk or personal history of breast cancer. Methods: In a prospective trial, eligible women were randomized to receive gabapentin (control arm) or hypnotherapy (experimental arm). Eligibility was defined by a personal history of breast cancer or an increased risk of developing breast cancer in women who reported at least one daily hot flash. The duration of participation was eight weeks, and women were asked to keep a daily journal of the number and severity of their hot flashes. The primary endpoints were number of daily hot flashes and hot flash severity score (HFSS). The secondary endpoint was quality of life, measured using the Hot Flash Related Daily Interference Score (HFRDIS). Results: Twenty-seven women were enrolled (n=14 gabapentin, n=13 hypnotherapy) and 15 (56%) were considered evaluable for the primary endpoint (n=8 gabapentin, n=7 hypnotherapy). The median number of daily hot flashes at enrollment was 4.5 in the gabapentin arm, and 5 in the hypnotherapy arm. HFSS scores were 7.5 in the gabapentin arm and 10 in the hypnotherapy arm. After eight weeks, the median number of daily hot flashes was reduced by 33.3% among women in the gabapentin arm, and 80% in the hypnotherapy arm. The median HFSS was reduced by 33.3% in the gabapentin arm, and 85% in the hypnotherapy arm. HFRDIS scores improved by 51.6% in the gabapentin group and 55.2% in the hypnotherapy group. Conclusions: Hypnotherapy and gabapentin both demonstrate efficacy in improving hot flashes in women with an increased risk or personal history of breast cancer. Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) therapies are preferable to many women over hormone therapy due to the perceived risk of breast cancer, but objective data have been lacking comparing its use to conventional therapies. This pilot study provides evidence supporting the use of hypnotherapy for the treatment of hot flashes and emphasizes the need to perform further studies aimed at defining evidence-based recommendations for CAM.

    Frequent Pathologic Complete Responses in Aggressive Stages II to III Breast Cancers With Every-4-Week Carboplatin and Weekly Paclitaxel With or Without Trastuzumab: A Brown University Oncology Group Study

    Abstract: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant carboplatin and weekly paclitaxel ± weekly trastuzumab in resectable and locally advanced breast cancer. Patients and Methods Women with stages IIA to IIIB disease received carboplatin dosed by six times the area under the curve every 4 weeks and paclitaxel 80 mg/m 2 weekly for 16 weeks, and weekly trastuzumab was added for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) –positive status. The primary end point was the pathologic complete response (pCR) rate, defined as the absence of invasive disease in the breast and axillary nodes. Postoperative therapies were at the discretion of the treating physicians. Results Fifty-five patients were enrolled, and of these 43 had resectable disease. The median age was 54 years (range, 31 to 74 years). Treatment was well tolerated; there were no episodes of febrile neutropenia or grade 4 thrombocytopenia, and there were only two instances of grade 3 peripheral neuropathy. Overall, the pCR rate was 45%. The pCR rate was 43% (95% CI, 28% to 58%) in patients with resectable disease. Higher pCR rates occurred in patients with HER2-positive tumors (76% v 31% for HER2-negative tumors; P = .003), with estrogen receptor (ER) –negative tumors (75% v 27% for ER-positive tumors; P = .001), or with triple-negative tumors (67% v 12% ER-positive and HER2-negative tumors; P = .002). At a median of 28 months postoperation, recurrence-free survival (RFS) was 88.7%. If patients with ER-positive and HER2-negative tumors are excluded from analysis, patients who achieved a pCR were less likely to experience disease recurrence (RFS, 86%) than those who did not achieve a pCR (RFS, 75%). Conclusion Neoadjuvant carboplatin and weekly paclitaxel ± trastuzumab achieve high pCR rates in patients with HER2-positive and triple-negative disease without exposure to an anthracycline. Preliminary RFS results are encouraging but are likely influenced by adjuvant therapy received. Additional study of this regimen in high-risk patients is warranted.

    Abstract: Constitutional mismatch repair deficiency syndrome (CMMRD) is a lethal cancer predisposition syndrome characterized by early-onset synchronous and metachronous multiorgan tumors. We designed a surveillance protocol for early tumor detection in these individuals. PATIENTS AND METHODS Data were collected from patients with confirmed CMMRD who were registered in the International Replication Repair Deficiency Consortium. Tumor spectrum, efficacy of the surveillance protocol, and malignant transformation of low-grade lesions were examined for the entire cohort. Survival outcomes were analyzed for patients followed prospectively from the time of surveillance implementation. RESULTS A total of 193 malignant tumors in 110 patients were identified. Median age of first cancer diagnosis was 9.2 years (range: 1.7-39.5 years). For patients undergoing surveillance, all GI and other solid tumors, and 75% of brain cancers were detected asymptomatically. By contrast, only 16% of hematologic malignancies were detected asymptomatically ( P 〈 .001). Eighty-nine patients were followed prospectively and used for survival analysis. Five-year overall survival (OS) was 90% (95% CI, 78.6 to 100) and 50% (95% CI, 39.2 to 63.7) when cancer was detected asymptomatically and symptomatically, respectively ( P = .001). Patient outcome measured by adherence to the surveillance protocol revealed 4-year OS of 79% (95% CI, 54.8 to 90.9) for patients undergoing full surveillance, 55% (95% CI, 28.5 to 74.5) for partial surveillance, and 15% (95% CI, 5.2 to 28.8) for those not under surveillance ( P 〈 .0001). Of the 64 low-grade tumors detected, the cumulative likelihood of transformation from low-to high-grade was 81% for GI cancers within 8 years and 100% for gliomas in 6 years. CONCLUSION Surveillance and early cancer detection are associated with improved OS for individuals with CMMRD.
