About this trial
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.

Treatments tested in this trial
Prescreening
Other interventionEligible patients (history of early stage breast cancer and at least 3 months from completion of local and systemic therapy at Johns Hopkins, reads and speaks English) complete survey for demographics, smoking status \& questions about cardiovascular disease.
Screening and Enrollment
Other interventionConsent
Baseline
BehavioralBehavioral Battery and Patient Reported Outcome Quality of Life questionnaires (EORTC QLQ-C30 and QLQ-BR23) Labs (Hba1c + lipid panel if not done within 12 months or if abnormal within 1 year) Abstract vitals from chart review
Interpret BMI
BehavioralRefer to Healthful Eating, Activity and Weight Program (HEAWP) if BMI ≥25 and not already on lifestyle intervention
Interpret HbA1c
Other interventionHbA1c results categorized as follows: HbA1c \<5.7%; HbA1c 5.7-6.4%; HbA1c 6.5%+; or Known diabetic on medication
Interpret lipid panel and assess other risk factors
Other interventionBased on above categories: HbA1c \<5.7%: Any of these cardiovascular disease risk factors: current/former tobacco use, total cholesterol \>200, family history of Coronary Artery Disease/Heart Attack in first degree family \<55 year old male or \<65 year old female, systolic blood pressure \>130 HbA1c 5.7-6.4%: Refer to Primary Care Provider and consider Healthful Eating, Activity and Weight Program (HEAWP) HbA1c 6.5%+: Refer to Endocrinology if HbA1c ≥8% Known diabetic on medication: Refer to Endocrinology if HbA1c ≥7%
Assess 10 year risk of cardiovascular event
BehavioralIf risk factors are present - refer to Cardiovascular Disease Prevention Program
Recommendations
BehavioralProvide individual patient handout based on all above interventions
Follow-Up
Behavioral6 and 12 month labs (if prior abnormal) and Patient Reported Outcome questionnaires
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Prevalence of prediabetes
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
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.
Prevalence of hyperlipidemia
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.
Change in HbA1c
The percent change in HbA1c laboratory results, at 6 and 12 months compared to baseline.
Secondary outcomes
Cardiovascular risk factors (tobacco use)
The cardiovascular risk factor of tobacco use will be identified from review of medical history in electronic medical records, and surveys from participants. The proportion of patients enrolled in the study with this risk factor will be summarized descriptively.
Cardiovascular risk factors (family history)
The cardiovascular risk factor of family history will be identified from review of medical history in electronic medical records, and surveys from participants. The proportion of patients enrolled in the study with this risk factor will be summarized descriptively.
Cardiovascular risk factors (hypertension)
The cardiovascular risk factor of hypertension will be identified from review of medical history in electronic medical records, and surveys from participants. The proportion of patients enrolled in the study with this risk factors will be summarized descriptively.
Referrals for individuals with pre-diabetes
Total number of individuals with (prediabetes) referred to established institutional programs and resources. The number of referrals overall, by disease type, and per patient will be summarized descriptively.
