Patients with PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome (PHTS) have elevated lifetime cancer risks, especially for breast, endometrial, thyroid, kidney, and colorectal cancers. Children, young adults, and individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders are also at higher risk. Therefore, further research and organ-specific cancer surveillance are important for patients with PHTS.
IMPORTANCE Identifying hereditary cancer predisposition facilitates high-risk organ-specific cancer surveillance and prevention. In PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome (PHTS), longitudinal studies remain lacking, and there are insufficient data on cancers in children and young adults, aswell as individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD). OBJECTIVE To evaluate lifetime cancer risks, including second malignant neoplasms (SMN), among patients with PHTS. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Prospective longitudinal cohort study (September 1, 2005, through January 6, 2022). General population risks from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database. Patients with PHTS, molecularly defined as carrying germline PTEN variants, were accrued from community and academic medical centers throughout North America, South America, Europe, Australia, and Asia. Data were analyzed from July 2022 to February 2023. EXPOSURES Review of physical and electronic medical records, and follow-up through clinical visits or telephone interviews. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Lifetime cancer risks in PHTS relative to the general population. RESULTS A total of 7302 patients were prospectively accrued, 701 of whom had germline PTEN variants (median [IQR] age at consent, 38 [12-52] years; 413 female patients [59%]). Longitudinal follow-up data could be obtained for 260 patients (37%), with a median (IQR) follow-up of 4 (2-8) years. Of the 701 patients, 341 (49%) received at least 1 cancer diagnosis, with 144 (42%) of those having SMN. The study found significantly elevated lifetime risks for breast (91%), endometrial (48%), thyroid (33%), kidney (30%), and colorectal cancers (17%), aswell as melanoma (5%). Cancer diagnoses were also observed in children and young adults with PHTS (15%) and in patients with PHTS with neurodevelopmental disorders (11%). Elevated risks (P <.001) of thyroid (age-adjusted standardized incidence ratios [SIR], 32.1; 95% CI, 26.0-39.0), kidney (SIR, 26.5; 95% CI, 18.8-36.3), endometrial (SIR, 26.0; 95% CI, 19.5-34.1), breast (SIR, 20.3; 95% CI, 17.3-23.7), and colorectal (SIR, 7.9; 95% CI, 5.2-11.7) cancers, and melanoma (SIR, 6.3; 95% CI, 3.5-10.5) were observed. Of the 341 patients with PHTS with cancer, 51 (15%) had 1 or more cancers diagnosed at age 29 years or younger, and 16 (31.4%) of those developed SMN at final follow-up. Twenty-three patients with PHTS with NDD and cancer were identified, with 5 (22%) having developed SMN at final follow-up. Individuals with PHTS and NDD showed higher lifetime cancer risks compared with individuals with PHTS but without NDD (hazard ratio, 2.7; 95% CI, 1.7-4.2; P <.001). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE This cohort study found consistently elevated lifetime cancer risks in PHTS. Organ-specific surveillance should continue in patients with PHTS. Additional study is required to ascertain elevated cancer risks in patients with PHTS with NDD.
