The study found that spinal marrow fat content significantly increased in postmenopausal women with hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer receiving AI treatment over a 12-month period.
Aromatase inhibitor (AI) is a cornerstone drug for postmenopausal women with estrogen receptor-positive early-stage breast cancer. Fat-bone interactions within the bone marrow milieu are growing areas of scientific interest. Although AI treatment could lead to deterioration of the skeleton, the association between AI medication and subsequent marrow adiposity remains elusive. A total of 40 postmenopausal, early-staged, and hormone receptor-positive breast cancer patients who underwent treatment with adjuvant AIs and 40 matched controls were included. Marrow proton density fat fraction (PDFF) at the L1-L4 vertebral bodies using 3D Fat Analysis & Calculation Technique imaging (FACT) sequence at 3.0T, bone mineral density (BMD) by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, and serum bone turnover biomarkers were determined at baseline and at 6 and 12 months. We found that, in comparison to baseline, an increase of type I collagen cross-linked telopeptide was detected at 12 months (P <0.05). From baseline to 12 months, the PDFF measured using FACT was greatly increased. At 12 months, the median percent change of PDFF (4.9% vs. 0.9%, P <0.05) was significantly different between the AI treatments and controls. The same trend was observed for the marrow PDFF at 6 months relative to the respective values at baseline. Although BMD values were significantly reduced after 12 months in AI-treated women, changes in BMD vs. baseline condition were not significantly different between the AI-treated and control groups [Delta BMD -1.6% to -1.8% vs. -0.3% to -0.6%, respectively, P > 0.05]. In the AI-treated group, Delta PDFF was associated with Delta BMD at the lumbar spine (r = -0.585, P < 0.001), but not in the controls. Taken together, over a 12-month period, spinal marrow fat content assessed with FACT sequence significantly increased in postmenopausal women with hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer receiving AI treatment.
