Abstract
Purpose Lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) confers increased cancer risk in either breast, but it remains unclear if this population is at increased risk for bilateral breast cancer (BC) development. Here we report bilateral BC incidence among women with a history of LCIS. Methods Women with classic-type LCIS diagnosed from 1980 to 2017 who developed unilateral BC (UBC) or bilateral BC were identified. Bilateral BC was categorized as synchronous (bilateral BC diagnosed < 6 months apart; SBBC) or metachronous (bilateral BC diagnosed [greater than or equal to] 6 months apart; MBBC). Five-year incidence rates of bilateral BC among this population were evaluated. Comparisons were made to identify factors associated with bilateral BC. Results At 7 years' median follow-up, 249/1651 (15%) women with LCIS developed BC; 34 with bilateral BC (2%). There were no clinicopathologic feature differences between those with UBC and bilateral BC. SBBC occurred in 18 without significant differences versus UBC. Among 211 with UBC and a contralateral breast at risk, 16 developed MBBC at a median follow-up of 3 years. MBBC patients were less likely to receive endocrine therapy and more likely to receive chemotherapy versus UBC. Tumor histology was not associated with MBBC. Estimated 5-year MBBC risk was 6.4%. Index estrogen/progesterone receptor positivity and endocrine therapy were the only factors associated with MBBC risk. Conclusion Bilateral BC occurred in 2% of women with LCIS history at median follow-up of 7 years. Similar to the general BC population, a decrease in MBBC is seen among women with a history of LCIS who develop hormone receptor-positive disease and those who receive endocrine therapy, highlighting the protective effects of this treatment.
