RESUMO

South Asian American (SA) women are diagnosed with more aggressive breast cancer than non-Hispanic White (NHW) women. Understanding the factors associated with the types of surgery received by these women sheds light on disease management in these culturally distinct populations. We used data on age at diagnosis, stage, grade, estrogen and progesterone receptors, and surgery from 4,590 SA and 429,030 NHW breast cancer cases in the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) program. We used logistic regression with surgery as the binary outcome (subcutaneous, total, or radical mastectomy (STRM) versus partial mastectomy, no, unknown or other (PNUM)) and included additive effects of all the variables and interactions of age, stage, grade, and estrogen and progesterone receptors with race/ethnicity. Type I error of 5% was used to assess statistical significance of the effects. SA were significantly more likely than NHW cases to receive STRM relative to PNUM surgery among women diagnosed at or after age 50 years and having localized stage disease (Odds Ratio (OR) = 1.27, 95% Confidence Interval (CI) = 1.06 - 1.52). Further, SA were significantly less likely than NHW cases to receive STRM relative to PNUM surgery among those diagnosed before age 50 years and having regional or distant stage disease (OR = 0.75, 95% CI = 0.59 - 0.95 for age at diagnosis < 40 years; OR = 0.77, 95% CI = 0.62 - 0.95 for age at diagnosis 40-49 years). The type of surgery received by SA and NHW women differ according to age at diagnosis and disease stage.

RESUMO

Diagnostic criteria for provoked vestibulodynia (PVD) rely on mucosal pain in the vulvar vestibule, with less emphasis on pain from pelvic floor muscles. It is unknown how psychosocial variables associated with PVD are differentially associated with mucosal versus muscle pain. Analysis of data from the National Vulvodynia Registry (n = 202) revealed several factors associated with increased mucosal pain: pain duration (P = .043), the McGill sensory subscore (P = .0086) and the Gracely pain scale (P< .001). Increased mucosal pain was also associated with decreased arousal (P = .036). On the other hand, factors significantly associated with greater muscle pain included number of comorbid pain conditions (P = .001), decreased intercourse frequency post PVD onset (P = .02) and higher scores on the McGill sensory (P = .0001) and affective (P = .0002) subscores, the Gracely pain scale (P = .0012), and state anxiety (P < .001). Sexual function was also significantly impacted by high pelvic floor muscular pain, with lower scores for arousal (P = .046), orgasm (P = .0014) and satisfaction (P = .013), and higher pain (P = .01). Significant differences in the relationship between muscle and mucosal pain for pain duration (P = .005), McGill affective score (P = .001), orgasm (P = .049), change in intercourse frequency (P = .027), and state anxiety (P = .030) suggest the possibility of mucosal or muscle pain predominant PVD subtypes. PERSPECTIVE: Patients with higher pelvic floor muscle pain scores than mucosal pain scores may represent different subgroups or characteristics of patients with provoked vestibulodynia. This research highlights the importance of assessment of the pelvic floor muscles in addition to the cotton swab test of the vestibule.
