Breast Cancer Study Shows Survival Benefit For Anastrozole

Article Date: 22 Nov 2006 - 12:00pm (PST)
Switching to anastrozole after 2-3 years' treatment with tamoxifen not only helps women to live longer but it also increases their chances of remaining cancer free after initial treatment of breast cancer, claim researches in the online edition of The Lancet Oncology. "A lot of people have been waiting to see whether aromatase inhibitors will show a survival advantage, and I think these data will assure them that 5 years of tamoxifen is no longer the standard of care; the best treatment for women with hormone-sensitive early-stage breast cancer should include an aromatase inhibitor", concludes lead author Professor Walter Jonat (University of Kiel, Kiel, Germany).

Several studies have now been done to investigate whether switching to an aromatase inhibitor after an initial period of tamoxifen is beneficial for postmenopausal women with early-stage breast cancer, but to date, none of these have shown an improvement in patients' overall survival. Professor Jonat and colleagues therefore decided to combine all the data from the only three trials to compare the outcomes for postmenopausal women with hormone-sensitive early-stage breast cancer who either remained on tamoxifen for the full 5-year treatment period, or switched to a type of drug called a non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor after 2-3 years' treatment with tamoxifen. All the trials investigated the aromatase inhibitor anastrozole.

"We showed that the benefits of switching to anastrozole in terms of disease and recurrence-free survival that have been seen in the individual trials translate into a significant benefit in overall survival", explains Professor Jonat. "We used a technique called meta-analysis to analyse the data because it increases the power and precision of the analysis, helps to avoid bias or random error, and can therefore address questions that cannot be answered from the individual trials", he continues.

Despite this powerful technique, Professor Jonat concedes that many questions remain unanswered in the field of breast cancer treatment. Future research will need to address what the best duration of treatment is, whether tamoxifen or aromatase inhibitors should be given first, and whether any combinations of other drugs might improve further on these results.

Ultrasound Makes Central Venous Catheterisation Safer, Quicker And Easier

Ultrasound-guided central venous catheterisation is easier, quicker and safer than the traditional method using landmarks, and should be the method of choice when treating critical care patients. In an article published in the journal Critical Care, researchers report the results of a prospective randomised controlled trial comparing the use of ultrasound to guide catheterisation to the traditional method using physical landmarks. The researchers report a success rate of 100% for ultrasound-guided catheterisation of the internal jugular vein. They show that the method is less likely to result in blood stream infections or complications, such as puncture of an artery, than the normal catheterisation procedure.

Dimitrios Karakitsos, from the Intensive Care Unit of the General State Hospital of Athens in Greece (the echolabicu team), and colleagues from other institutions in Greece, The Netherlands and the USA, compared the outcome of internal jugular vein catheterisation in 450 patients for whom the procedure was guided by ultrasound and in 450 patients for whom physical landmarks were used for guidance. During the ultrasound-guided catheterisation, the physician is helped by ultrasound-generated, real-time, two-dimensional images of the jugular vein. The patients were matched between the two groups for age, gender, BMI and risk factors for complications following catheterisation.

Karakitsos et al.'s results show an overall success rate of 100% for ultrasound-guided catheterisation and a 94% success rate for the standard procedure. Very few cases of carotid puncture or hematoma, and no cases of hemothorax or pneumothorax, were reported following ultrasound-guided catheterisation. By contrast, hematoma occurred in 8.4% of patients who had a standard catheterization. Hemothorax occurred in 1.7% and carotid artery puncture occurred in 10.6% of the patients undergoing standard catheterisation. Karakitsos et al.'s results also show that 16% of patients who received the standard procedure had a central venous catheter associated blood stream infection, compared to 10.4% of patients who had the ultrasound-guided procedure. The time taken to insert the catheter and the number of attempts were also greatly reduced for patients who received the ultrasound-guided procedure.

The authors conclude: "Ultrasound imaging is a readily available technology and may be employed by inexperienced operators to facilitate the placement of a central venous catheter as well as by experienced operators in order to improve the safety of the procedure."

In an accompanying commentary, Andrew Bodenham from Leeds General Infirmary in the UK adds: "In the past, it was possible to defend clinicians not using ultrasound on the basis that it was not yet routine practice but I think this position will become increasingly untenable in the future."
