ASCO Recommendations
Q 호르몬 수용체 양성 폐경후 유방암환자 수술후 보조요법으로서 어떤 약을 사용하나?
ü 재발율을 낮추기위해 AI (aromatasi inhibitor)사용을 적극적으로 고려해야 함. 처음부 터 혹은 tamoxifen 2~3년 사용후 AI를 사용할 수 있으며 5년을 넘기진 말아야 함.
Q 호르몬 보조요법의 사용기간은?
ü 처음부터 혹은 tamoxifen 5년 사용후에는 AI를 5년이상 사용하지 말아야 하고 순차적 요법으로서 tamoxifen 2~3년을 사용한 경우는 나머지를 AI를 사용해서 5년을 채우고 AI 부작용으로 더 이상 사용하기 어려운 경우는 tamoxifen을 써서 5년을 채우는 것을 반드시 고려해야 함.
Q Tamoxifen 을 먼저 사용한 환자내원시 언제 AI 사용을 고려하나?
ü 2~3년 지나서 AI로 바꾸는 것이 추천되며 tamoxifen을 5년 사용후 AI를 사용하는 것도 가능함.
Q AI를 사용해야하는 subgroup이 있는지?
ü 특별한 marker나 임상적인 군은 잘 연구되지 않았음. 남성유방암은 아직 tamoxifen이
표준치료이고 CYP2D6는 내분비요법을 결정할 때 추천되지는 않지만 CYP2D6 기항
제 (예, paroxetine, fluoxetine)을 사용할 때는 tamoxifen 사용시 약물간 상호작용으로
주의를 요함
Q 호르몬 보조요법의 독성 및 위험성은?
ü 임상의사는 호르몬 보조요법의 부작용, 환자의 선호도, 그리고 환자의 기존의 질별을 고려하여 약제를 선택해야 함. 환자와 있을 수 있는 부작용에 대해 치료전 상의해야 하 며 부작용이 심해 환자가 복용을 잘 못하는 경우 약제를 바꾸는 권유해야 함.
ü 대부분의 독성은 mild~moderate하고 중대한 독성은 드묾. Tamoxifen의 장기 독성은 잘 알려져 있지만 AI는 더 지켜보아야 함.
Q 폐경전 여성의 호르몬 치료는?
ü 진단 당시 Pre- & perimenopause 환자는 tamoxifen 5년을 사용해야 함.

FDA begins process to remove breast cancer indication from Avastin label Drug not shown to be safe and effective in breast cancer patients
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced today that the agency is recommending removing the breast cancer indication from the label for Avastin (bevacizumab) because the drug has not been shown to be safe and effective for that use.
The agency is making this recommendation after reviewing the results of four clinical studies of
Avastin in women with breast cancer and determining that the data indicate that the drug does not prolong overall survival in breast cancer patients or provide a sufficient benefit in slowing disease progression to outweigh the significant risk to patients. These risks include severe high blood pressure; bleeding and hemorrhage; the development of perforations (or “holes”) in the body, including in the nose, stomach, and intestines; and heart attack or heart failure.
In July 2010, after reviewing all available data an independent advisory committee, composed primarily of oncologists, voted 12-1 to remove the breast cancer indication from Avastin’s label.
“After careful review of the clinical data, we are recommending that the breast cancer indication for Avastin be removed based on evidence from four independent studies,” Janet Woodcock, M.D., director of the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. “Subsequent studies failed to confirm the benefit observed in the original trial. None of the studies demonstrated that patients receiving Avastin lived longer and patients receiving Avastin experienced a significant increase in serious side effects. The limited effects of Avastin combined with the significant risks led us to this difficult decision. The results of these studies are disappointing. We encourage the company to conduct additional research to identify if there may be select groups of patients who might benefit from this drug.”
The drug eribulin was inspired by a compound from the sea sponge Halichondria okadai.Yasunori Saito
