Breast Cancer in Systemic Lupus
EF 2012-13
Résumé
Cancer is increasingly common in the developed world. As we focus more on long-term outcomes in arthritis and related disease, there is increasing interest in cancer risk in rheumatic disorders. Individuals with systemic lupus (SLE) have been shown to have distinct cancer risk profiles. Compared to the general population, current data indicate a slight (10-15%) increase in cancer in SLE overall. However, evidence also points to a decreased risk of breast cancer in women with SLE, relative to the general population. The reasons behind a negative association between SLE and breast cancer is unknown. The objective of this project is to provide a brief report of the breast cancer cases from a very large SLE sample population, with respect to age, race, SLE duration cancer stage, receptor status, treatment, and outcomes

Abstract
Cancer is increasingly common in the developed world. As we focus more on long-term outcomes in arthritis and related disease, there is increasing interest in cancer risk in rheumatic disorders. Individuals with systemic lupus (SLE) have been shown to have distinct cancer risk profiles. Compared to the general population, current data indicate a slight (10-15%) increase in cancer in SLE overall. However, evidence also points to a decreased risk of breast cancer in women with SLE, relative to the general population. The reasons behind a negative association between SLE and breast cancer is unknown. The objective of this project is to provide a brief report of the breast cancer cases from a very large SLE sample population, with respect to age, race, SLE duration cancer stage, receptor status, treatment, and outcomes
