N2  - CONCLUSIONS: Rates of pelvic floor disorders were lower among breast cancer survivors compared to controls but rates of surgical intervention did not differ and were higher for some conditions among breast cancer survivors; IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS: Screening for these disorders should be considered as part of routine survivorship care. Copyright © 2022. The International Urogynecological Association; INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: To evaluate prevalence of pelvic floor disorders, association of endocrine therapy with pelvic floor disorders, and rates of pelvic floor surgery among breast cancer survivors compared to matched controls without history of cancer; METHODS: This is a retrospective, cohort study using electronic medical record data from a ten-hospital regional healthcare system. A total of 19,483 women diagnosed with breast cancer between January 2008 and April 2020 were propensity score matched to 19,483 women without a history of cancer. Medical charts were abstracted for ICD-9 and ICD-10 codes for pelvic floor disorders, use of endocrine therapy, and CPT codes for pelvic floor surgeries and procedures; RESULTS: Overall, the prevalence of pelvic floor disorders was lower among breast cancer survivors (8.8% vs. 22.6%, p < 0.001), and mean time to development of pelvic floor disorders among breast cancer survivors was 3 years. Selective estrogen receptor modulators and aromatase inhibitors were associated with pelvic organ prolapse and stress urinary incontinence, while estrogen antagonists were associated with urge urinary incontinence and lower urinary tract symptoms. Women with breast cancer had similar or higher rates of pelvic floor surgery compared to matched controls
