- Brief Summary
This research study is being done to implement a screening program for prediabetes, diabetes, dyslipidemia and/or hyperlipidemia, and higher risk of cardiovascular disease in breast cancer survivors. This program will also help to direct individuals with risk factors to community and institutional resources for management.
- Detailed Description
The investigators propose a prospective cardiometabolic screening program for breast cancer survivors. A formalized screening program may ensure that all patients are receiving these routine screening tests. This program could not only serve to detect prediabetes, diabetes, dyslipidemia and/or hyperlipidemia, but also direct individuals with other risk factors to community and institutional resources for management.
HYPOTHESIS
* Prediabetes, diabetes, dyslipidemia and overweight/obesity are prevalent in women with early stage breast cancer.
* Participants that continue to participate in the study will have lower HbA1c, lower LDL, percent weight loss, and change in patient-reported outcomes (quality of life, function and symptoms) at 6 and 12 months compared to baseline.
* Risk factors for cardiovascular disease (such as tobacco use, family history, hypertension) are common in breast cancer patients.
* The screening program will refer patients to established institutional programs and resources (Cardiovascular Disease prevention program, Healthful Weight Eating Activity Program and Endocrinology).
* The prevalence of prediabetes, diabetes and dyslipidemia in women with breast cancer will be significantly higher than healthy controls from a national database, matched for age and other comorbidities.
OBJECTIVES
Primary Objectives
1. To estimate the prevalence of prediabetes, diabetes, dyslipidemia and overweight/obesity in women with early stage breast cancer
2. To estimate the proportion of participants with lower HbA1c, lower LDL, percent weight loss, and change in patient-reported outcomes (quality of life, function and symptoms) at 6 and 12 months compared to baseline.
Secondary Objectives
1. To estimate the prevalence of other risk factors for cardiovascular disease (tobacco use, family history, hypertension) in breast cancer patients
2. To report the number of referrals of individuals with diabetes or prediabetes or risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) to established institutional programs and resources.
3. To compare the prevalence of prediabetes, diabetes and dyslipidemia in women with breast cancer with healthy controls from a national database, matched for age and other comorbidities.
Exploratory
1. To assess change in HbA1c from baseline 6 and 12 months, and use of antidiabetes pharmacotherapy for patients referred to Endocrinology for diabetes management
2. To assess change in total cholesterol and LDL from baseline to 6 and 12 months, and use of statins, aspirin or antihypertensives for patients referred to CVD prevention program
3. To assess percent weight loss, and use of pharmacotherapy in patients referred to institutional weight loss program

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change in LDL cholesterol Baseline, 6 months, 12 months The percent change in LDL cholesterol (mg/dL) laboratory results at 6 and 12 months compared to baseline.
Prevalence of prediabetes 3 years The proportion of women with early stage breast cancer who have prediabetes: The number is determined through medical history, laboratory results, and baseline survey. Prevalence of prediabetes, will be estimated with an exact 95% confidence interval.
Prevalence of diabetes 3 years The proportion of women with early stage breast cancer who have diabetes: The number is determined through medical history, laboratory results, and baseline survey. Prevalence of diabetes, will be estimated with an exact 95% confidence interval.
Change in HbA1c Baseline, 6 months, 12 months The percent change in HbA1c laboratory results, at 6 and 12 months compared to baseline.
Prevalence of obesity/ overweight Baseline, 6 months, 12 months The proportion of women with early stage breast cancer with BMI \>/= 25kg/mg squared. Body Mass Index (BMI) as recorded in participant electronic medical record will be evaluated to determine the percent change in Body Mass Index from baseline at 6 and 12 months.
Quality of Life Questionnaire The European Organisation for Research and Treatment Cancer C30 Baseline, 6 months, 12 months Participants will complete the Quality of Life Questionnaire C30 The Quality of Life Questionnaire-C30, which includes 30 items. The 30 items assess physical, role, emotional, cognitive and social functioning, global health status or Quality Of Life scales, fatigue, pain, nausea and vomiting, dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea and financial difficulties. The Quality of Life Questionnaire-C30 is scored on the basis of classical test theory (CTT), and uses the total item score as the scale score. All of the scales and single-item measures range in score from 0 to 100. Higher score for the functioning scales and global health status denote a better level of functioning (i.e. a better state of the patient), while higher scores on the symptom and single-item scales indicate a higher level of symptoms (i.e. a worse state of the patient). The percent change in Patient Reported Outcome scores from baseline is accessed at 6 months and 12 months.
Prevalence of hyperlipidemia 3 years The proportion of women with early stage breast cancer with hyperlipidemia as determined by medical history and laboratory results. Prevalence of hyperlipidemia will be estimated with an exact 95% confidence interval.
Breast-specific symptoms assessed by the of The European Organisation for Research and Treatment Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire BR-23 Baseline, 6 months, 12 months Participants to complete the EORTC Quality of Life Questionnaire-BR23. The European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-BR23 has demonstrated validity and reliability as a quality of life questionnaires specific for breast cancer. The EORTC QLQ-BR23 is a breast-specific module that comprises of 23 questions to assess body image, sexual functioning, sexual enjoyment, future perspective, systemic therapy side effects, breast symptoms, arm symptoms and upset by hair loss. The scoring approach for the QLQ-BR23 is identical to QLQ-C30. All of the scales and single-item measures range in score from 0 to 100. Higher score for the functioning scales and global health status denote a better level of functioning (i.e. a better state of the patient), while higher scores on the symptom and single-item scales indicate a higher level of symptoms (i.e. a worse state). The percent change in scores from baseline is assessed at 6 months and 12 months.
