- |||||||||| AGGRESSIVE PERINEAL ANGIOMYXOMA UNDERGOING SYSTEMIC TREATMENT: AN UPDATED REPORT OF 8-YEARS' EXPERIENCE IN A REFERRAL CENTER () - Nov 9, 2024 - Abstract #CTOS2024CTOS_601;
Combination therapies (GnRHa plus L or S plus L) seem to be valuable alternatives in the 2L setting but more investigations are needed in this scenario. Furthermore, basing on our data, no recommendation about safe interruption of hormonal treatment can be made.To this end, we encourage data sharing between referral centers and suggest to perform a thorough pathological characterization of hormone receptors expression in AA tissue specimens, including AR in all pts, in order to potentially identify predictive factors of treatment sensitivity.

ET initiation and adherence was associated with reduced risk of all-cause (adjusted HR = 0.62, 0.59-0.66; HR = 0.55, 0.53-0.59; respectively) and breast cancer related (adjusted HR = 0.57, 0.50-0.64; HR = 0.41, 0.36-0.47; respectively) mortality compared with noninitiators. Women with early-stage breast cancer who initiate ET and are adherent to treatment may achieve survival benefits compared with noninitiators.
