Background:

To evaluate the effects of elective nodal irradiation (ENI) in clinical stage II–III breast cancer patients with pathologically negative lymph nodes (LNs) (ypN0) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) followed by breast-conserving surgery (BCS) and radiotherapy (RT).

Methods:

We retrospectively analysed 260 patients with ypN0 who received NAC followed by BCS and RT. Elective nodal irradiation was delivered to 136 (52.3%) patients. The effects of ENI on survival outcomes were evaluated.

Results:

After a median follow-up period of 66.2 months (range, 15.6–127.4 months), 26 patients (10.0%) developed disease recurrence. The 5-year locoregional recurrence-free survival and disease-free survival (DFS) for all patients were 95.5% and 90.5%, respectively. Pathologic T classification (0−is vs 1 vs 2–4) and the number of LNs sampled (<13 vs ⩾13) were associated with DFS (P=0.0086 and 0.0012, respectively). There was no significant difference in survival outcomes according to ENI. Elective nodal irradiation also did not affect survival outcomes in any of the subgroups according to pathologic T classification or the number of LNs sampled.

Conclusions:

ENI may be omitted in patients with ypN0 breast cancer after NAC and BCS. But until the results of the randomised trials are available, patients should be put on these trials.  相似文献

Introduction

Downstaging with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) might obscure indications for postmastectomy radiation (PMRT). The degree of downstaging that results in local-regional recurrence (LRR) rates low enough to omit PMRT remains controversial. We examined the rate of LRR in women who received NAC who underwent mastectomy without PMRT.

Patients and Methods

Between 2004 and 2013, 81 women with stage I to IIIA breast cancer had NAC and mastectomy; 48 patients (59%) were clinical N0 and 33 patients (41%) were clinical N1; median age was 45 years; 33 patients (41%) had hormone receptor-positive (HR+)HER2?, 21 patients (26%) HR+HER2+, 19 patients (23%) HR? HER2?, and 7 patients (9%) HR?HER2+ disease. We explored how LRR rates varied with age, BRCA status, Grade, receptor status, clinical N status, pathologic response, lymphovascular invasion, and mastectomy margins. Median follow-up was 4.9 years.

Results

After NAC, 35 patients (43%) had a pathologic complete response (pCR), 33 patients (41%) were ypN0, and 13 patients (16%) were ypN1-3+. There were 8 LRRs (6 chest wall, 1 axillary, 1 supraclavicular node). The 5-year cumulative incidence of LRR was 8% for all patients, 3% for pCR, 16% for ypN0, 10% for ypN1-3+, 6% for HR+HER2?, 25% for HR+HER2+, 0% for HR?HER2?, and 0% for HR?HER2+. LRR was 31% in the ypN0 and 33% in the ypN1-3+ HR+HER2+ women, and 12% in the ypN0 and 0% in the ypN1 to ypN3+ HR+HER2? patients.

Conclusion

This study is unique. All HER2+ patients received trastuzumab and LRR was analyzed according to treatment response, clinicopathologic factors, and receptor status. pCR patients including young women and clinical stage IIIA had low LRR rates. However, ypN0 and ypN1-3+ HR+HER2+ patients had higher rates of LRR compared with other receptor subgroups and on the basis of limited data should be considered for PMRT.  相似文献

Background

Although the prognostic value of pathologic complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) depends on the intrinsic subtype of breast cancer, it is not clear whether chemosensitivity itself, shown by a decreasing tumor burden after NAC, contributes to improved prognosis in primary breast cancer patients, especially in patients with non-pCR. The aim of this study was to assess the prognostic effect of changes in tumor stage or nodal status after NAC in each primary breast cancer subtype.

Patients and Methods

We assessed 719 consecutive patients with primary breast cancer who underwent surgical resection after NAC between 2001 and 2010. The patients were divided into 5 subtypes according to their hormone receptor (HR) status, HER2 status, and nuclear grade (NG; 1/2 = low, and 3 = high).

Results

In patients with HR-positive (HR+)/HER2?/NG-low tumors, regardless of change in tumor size, the loss of node positivity after NAC significantly improved disease-free survival (DFS). In patients with HR+/HER2?/NG-high tumors, achievement of tumor downstaging as well as the loss of node positivity improved their DFS. In patients with HR?/HER2? tumors, tumor downstaging and the loss of node positivity significantly improved DFS, despite a non-pCR. In contrast, in patients with HER2+ tumors, changes in tumor stage or nodal status were not associated with prognosis unless pCR was achieved.

Conclusion

Our results revealed that changes in tumor stage and nodal status after NAC might be prognostic markers in patients with HR+/HER2?/NG-high tumors or HR?/HER2? tumors, even if there are residual tumors in the breast.  相似文献

Introduction

The influence of breast cancer (BC) subtype in discrepancies between pathologic complete response (pCR) and complete response by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI-CR) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) have not been discussed well. We evaluated the association between BC subtype and pCR or only residual in situ lesion without invasive cancer (pCR/in situ+) in patients with MRI-CR (positive predictive value [PPV]).

Material and Methods

From the data of 716 patients with primary BC who were diagnosed with invasive cancer and treated with NAC and then surgery from January 2009 to May 2014 at St. Luke's International Hospital, 180 patients were determined to have MRI-CR by retrospective chart review. BC subtypes at baseline were classified into 6 subtypes, as strong estrogen receptor (ER++), moderately positive ER (ER+), negative ER (ER?), and HER2 status expression.

Results

Three subtypes had PPV (pCR) ≥ 50%: ER?/HER2+ (56.3%, 27/48), ER?/HER2? (57.6%, 34/59), and ER+/HER2+ (56.2%, 9/16). However, PPV (pCR) for the ER++/HER2? and ER++/HER2+ subtypes was < 30%; notably, only 12.0% (3/25) for the ER++/HER2? subtype, which was significantly low (P < .001) compared with ER++/HER2? and other subtypes. PPV (pCR/in situ+) was significantly low at 20.0% in the ER++/HER2? subtype (P < .001 compared with other subtypes). PPV (pCR/in situ+) in other subtypes was collectively greater than 60%, and was 91.7% in the ER?/HER2+ subtype.

Conclusion

We should interpret carefully MRI-CR of NAC to evaluate residual disease for ER++/HER2? BC.  相似文献

Purpose

To investigate the effect of body mass index (BMI) on survival in patients with breast cancer according to tumor subtype, metabolic syndrome, and systemic treatment.

Patients and Methods

We identified 5668 patients who underwent curative surgery for breast cancer between 1996 and 2013 from the clinical data of a single institution. Disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) were calculated and compared between the patients with BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2 and < 25 kg/m2 in all patients and in specific subgroups, including tumor subtype, metabolic syndrome, and systemic treatment.

Results

In all patients, BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2 was an unfavorable factor for OS (P = .030) but not for DFS. In the HR+/HER2? subgroup, DFS and OS were longer in patients with BMI < 25 kg/m2 than ≥ 25 kg/m2 (P = .012 and .005, respectively). In patients with more than one metabolic syndrome, BMI was an unfavorable factor for OS (hazard ratio, 2.669; P < .001)

Conclusion

BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2 was an unfavorable survival factor, particularly in patients with HR+/HER2? breast cancer.  相似文献

Purpose

To identify patterns of distant failure (DF) in premenopausal women receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) for breast cancer.

Patients and Methods

Premenopausal patients treated with NAC between 2005 and 2015 at a single institution were retrospectively reviewed. Timing and location of local, regional, and distant metastases were described. Predictors for DF and overall survival (OS) were analyzed.

Results

Of 225 patients, there were 24 (10.7%) local, 30 (13.3%) regional, and 63 (28.0%) distant recurrences. Cumulative incidence of DF was higher in patients younger than age 40 (P = .01), in those with residual tumor size > 2 cm (P < .0001), in those with positive lymph nodes after NAC (P = .0003), and in those without pathologic complete response (P < .0001). Cumulative incidence of brain metastases was most common in patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive disease (P = .05). Time from development of metastatic disease to death varied by breast cancer subtype (P = .019), as did 5-year OS (P = .024). Women with HER2-positive and triple-negative disease had the highest incidence of brain metastases and the shortest time from development of metastases to death. On multivariable analysis, luminal B subtype (P = .025), pathologic complete response (P = .0014), young age (P = .0008), lack of hormone therapy (P < .0001), lymphovascular space involvement (P < .0001), and pathologic size of the primary tumor (P < .0001) were all significant predictors for DF.

Conclusion

Patterns of DF after NAC in premenopausal women vary by breast cancer subtype, with DF more common than locoregional failure. Young age remains an independent poor prognostic factor, and OS differs by breast cancer subtype.  相似文献

Purpose

While human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) target therapies have significantly improved the prognosis of patients with HER2-enriched breast cancer, differing clinical benefits and gene expression analyses suggest a divergent HER2 subgroup. We aimed to investigate whether the basal HER2 subtype of breast cancer has distinguished characteristics.

Methods

We performed a substudy by using data from a retrospective multi-institutional cohort of JBCRG-C03. Between 2001 and 2011, we identified 184 eligible patients who received concurrent neo-adjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) with trastuzumab for hormone receptor-negative and HER2-positive breast cancer. We defined basal HER2 subtype breast cancer as HER2-positive, ER/PgR-negative, and basal markers (EGFR, CK14 or CK5/6) positive by immunohistochemistrical evaluation. The pathologic complete response (pCR) and disease-free survival (DFS) rates were compared between the two subtypes.

Results

A total of 127 (69.0%) patients achieved pCR after NAC and 29 (15.8%) patients experienced events of DFS within a 42 month median follow-up period (interquartile range 26–58 months). Although the basal HER2 subtype was related with poor DFS (3 year DFS: non-basal HER2, 95.0%; basal HER2, 86.9%; adjusted HR 3.4; 95% CI 1.2–14.5), neither the subtype (pCR: non-basal HER2, 75%; basal HER2, 66.7%; adjusted OR 0.60; 95% CI 0.27–1.28) nor the degree of expression of basal markers was significantly related with the pCR rate.

Conclusion

Basal HER2 phenotype showed poor DFS, but equivalent pCR rate after concurrent neo-adjuvant chemotherapy with trastuzumab. A different treatment approach to basal-HER2 type is needed even for cases that achieved adequate clinical response after NAC.

Background

Breast cancer can be assessed preoperatively and postoperatively using 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT). We prospectively analyzed the maximum baseline standardized uptake value (SUVmax) derived from FDG PET/CT to predict the outcomes after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) for breast cancer.

Patients and Methods

We assessed 130 consecutive female patients with primary breast cancer (mean age, 53.9 years) using PET/CT before and after NAC. The SUVmax before (pre-SUVmax) and after (post-SUVmax) NAC and the SUVmax reduction rates (ΔSUVmax) after NAC with sequential anthracyclines and a taxane were assessed to predict the pathologic complete response (pCR) and prognosis.

Results

Of the 130 patients, 30 (23.1%) achieved a pCR. The pCR rate of the patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-positive (HER2+) and triple-negative (TN) breast cancer was 52.8% and 40.0%, respectively. In contrast, only 1.4% of those with estrogen receptor-positive and HER2? cancer achieved a pCR. The post-SUVmax correlated closely with the pCR (area under the curve, 0.700) but not with the pre-SUVmax and ΔSUVmax (area under the curve, 0.414 and 0.589, respectively) in patients with HER2+ and TN breast cancer. The post-SUVmax was associated with the pCR (P = .019), and multivariate analysis selected post-SUVmax as a significant prognostic factor (P = .014). The post-SUVmax correlated significantly with recurrence-free survival and recurrence (P = .026, log-rank test).

Conclusion

The SUVmax determined after NAC using FDG PET/CT can predict for the pCR and the prognosis of patients with operable HER2+ and TN breast cancer. In the future, additional chemotherapy will be applied according to the post-SUVmax after standard NAC to achieve a pCR or omit surgery.  相似文献

Introduction

Several human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2)-targeted regimens are used to treat HER2-positive (HER2+) breast cancer (BC). The goal of this study was to retrospectively determine the pathologic complete response (pCR) rate for trastuzumab and pertuzumab (HP)-containing regimens compared with trastuzumab (H)-containing regimens for stage II to III HER2+ BC.

Patients and Methods

Patients (n = 977) with stage II to III HER2+ BC who received neoadjuvant HER2-targeted therapy from 2005 to 2016 and underwent definitive breast and axillary lymph node surgery were identified. pCR was defined as ypT0/is, ypN0. Univariate/multivariate logistic regression and the χ2 test for comparing proportions was used for the statistical analysis.

Results

The pCR rate was higher for the HP group (n = 170) compared with the H group (n = 807): 59% versus 46% (odds ratio, 1.7; 95% confidence interval, 1.21-2.37; P = .0021). After adjustment for clinically important factors (age, date of diagnosis, stage, tumor grade, nodal status, hormone receptor [HR] status, menopausal status, and chemotherapy backbone) the adjusted odds ratio was 2.25 (95% confidence interval, 1.08-4.73; P = .032). In multivariate analysis, a significant predictor of pCR in both groups included HR status (HR-negative > HR-positive).

Conclusion

These results demonstrate that HP-containing regimens yield higher pCR rates compared with H-containing regimens in patients with stage II to III HER2+ BC in clinical practice regardless of chemotherapy backbone.  相似文献

Background

Radium 223 was introduced for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer based on the results of a randomized controlled trial showing risk reduction for death and skeletal events. Our aim was to evaluate the outcome of patients receiving radium 223 in a real-world setting.

Patients and Methods

We conducted a multicenter retrospective analysis in the Triveneto region of Italy.

Results

One hundred fifty-eight patients received radium 223 in our region. After a median follow-up of 9.5 months, 75 patients died. The median overall survival (OS) was 14.2 months, and the median progression-free survival (PFS) was 6.2 months. Seventy-one (45%) patients achieved progression as best response. Thirty-seven (23%) patients stopped the treatment early because of progression. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status was prognostic for OS (18.4 vs. 12.3 vs. 7.5 months; 0 vs. 1, P = .0062; 0 vs. 2, P = .0002), whereas previous prostatectomy or docetaxel exposure were not. A neutrophil to lymphocytes ratio ≥ 3 significantly impacted OS (18.1 vs. 9.7 months; P < .001) and slightly impacted PFS (6.6 vs. 5.6 months; P = .05). Patients with a baseline alkaline phosphatase (ALP) value ≥ 220 U/L had worse OS and PFS (24.1 vs. 10.5 months; 7.2 vs. 5.5 months; P < .001). Patients with changes in ALP value achieved better OS (P = .029) and PFS (P = .002). There was no difference according to the line of therapy (0 vs. ≥ 1; P = .490). The main grade 3/4 toxicities were anemia, asthenia, and thrombocytopenia.

Conclusion

This large real-world report confirms comparable OS and PFS data when compared with the pivotal study, as well as the predictive role of ALP and neutrophil to lymphocytes ratio. The definition of the optimal position of radium 223 in the treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer has still to be defined.  相似文献

Background

Recent publications have suggested that human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative breast cancers with “weak” estrogen receptor (ER)/progesterone receptor (PR) expression levels by immunohistochemical (IHC) analysis were considered as the triple-negative (TN) subtype. This study aimed to evaluate the overall survival (OS), disease-free survival rates (DFS), and disease-specific survival (DSS) based on ER and PR expression levels into one of three groups, ER and PR <1%, ER and PR 1%–20%, and ER or PR >20% by hormone therapy.

Methods

Medical records of 3353 breast cancer patients treated from 2006 to 2013 were retrospectively reviewed. Tumor characteristics, type of treatment, OS, DFS and DSS were evaluated among the three patient groups.

Results

Regarding OS, there were significant differences according to the received hormone therapy in the different groups: ER and PR <1% (P = 0.972), ER and PR 1%–20% (P = 0.264), and ER or PR >20% (P = 0.014). Regarding DFS and DSS, there were also significant differences in the different groups: ER and PR <1% (P = 0.611, 0.766), ER and PR 1%–20% (P = 0.847, 0.629), and ER or PR >20% (P = 0.031, 0.002).

Conclusions

In HER2 negative breast cancer patient with hormone therapy, ER and PR expression level of 1%–20% has similar survival outcome to the ER and PR expression level of <1% by IHC analysis.  相似文献

Background:

Trastuzumab was introduced a decade ago and has improved outcomes for HER2-positive breast cancer. We investigated the factors predictive of pathological complete response (pCR), prognostic factors for disease-free survival (DFS), and interactions between pCR and DFS after neoadjuvant treatment.

Methods:

We identified 287 patients with primary HER2-positive breast cancers given neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) between 2002 and 2011. Univariate and multivariate analyses of clinical and pathological factors associated with pCR and DFS were performed.

Results:

pCR rates differed between patients receiving neoadjuvant trastuzumab treatment or not (47.7% versus 19.3%, P<0.0001). DFS also differed significantly between patients receiving adjuvant trastuzumab or not (hazard ratio=4.84, 95% CI (2.52; 9.31), P<0.001). We analysed 199 patients given neoadjuvant and adjuvant trastuzumab. Multivariate analysis identified older age and hormone receptor-negative tumours as independent predictors of pCR. T stage (hazard ratio=2.55, 95% CI (1.01; 6.48), P=0.05) and strict pCR (hazard ratio=9.15, 95% CI (1.22; 68.83), P=0.03) were independent predictors of DFS. The latter association was significant in the HR-negative subgroup (P=0.02) but not in the HR-positive subgroup (P=0.12).

Conclusions:

Major pCR and DFS gains in HER2-positive BC were observed since ‘trastuzumab'' era. Further improvements rely on the enrollment of accurately selected patients into clinical trials.  相似文献

Introduction

There has been increasing interest in the potential benefit of vitamin D in improving breast cancer outcome. Preclinical studies suggest that vitamin D enhances chemotherapy-induced cell death. We investigated the impact of serum vitamin D levels during neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) on the rates of achieving pathologic complete response (pCR) after breast cancer NAC.

Patients and Methods

Patients from 1 of 2 Iowa registries who had serum vitamin D level measured before or during NAC were included. French patients enrolled onto a previous study of the impact of NAC on vitamin D and bone metabolism were also eligible for this study. Vitamin D deficiency was defined as < 20 ng/mL. pCR was defined as no residual invasive disease in breast and lymph nodes. A Firth penalized logistic regression multivariable model was used.

Results

The study included 144 women. There was no difference between the French and Iowan cohorts with regard to age at diagnosis (P = .20), clinical stage (P = .22), receptor status (P = .32), and pCR rate (P = .34). French women had lower body mass index (mean 24.8 vs. 28.8, P < .01) and lower vitamin D levels (mean 21.5 vs. 27.5, P < .01) compared to Iowan patients. In multivariable analysis, after adjusting for the effects of cohort, clinical stage, and receptor status, vitamin D deficiency increased the odds of not attaining pCR by 2.68 times (95% confidence interval, 1.12-6.41, P = .03).

Conclusion

Low serum vitamin D levels were associated with not attaining a pCR. Prospective trials could elucidate if maintaining vitamin D levels during NAC, a highly modifiable variable, may be utilized to improve cancer outcomes.  相似文献

Introduction

We evaluated the clinical outcome of patients with stage III to IV thymomas (Ts) or stage II to IV thymic carcinomas (TCs) treated with complete thymectomy and local radiation therapy (LRT, targeting the tumor bed and anterior mediastinal areas only) or elective nodal irradiation (ENI, targeting the entire mediastinal and supraclavicular regions).

Materials and Methods

Data from 47 patients diagnosed with Ts or TCs and treated with surgery and adjuvant RT from May 2002 to May 2015 were analyzed. The standard RT dose was 50.4 Gy in 28 fractions; patients with a positive resection margin received a further 4 to 10 Gy. Survival outcomes determined at 5 years included local recurrence-free survival, regional recurrence-free survival, distant metastasis-free survival, and overall survival.

Results

Five-year local recurrence-free survival was similar in both groups (LRT, 94.7% vs. ENI, 96.2%; P = .849). Significant differences were seen in 5-year regional recurrence-free survival (LRT, 55.1% vs. ENI, 83.7%; P = .006); however, tumor size was seen to be a significant factor (< 7 cm, 95.2% vs. ≥ 7 cm, 48.9%; P < .001), and the LRT group contained a greater proportion of patients with ≥ 7-cm tumors (70% vs. 33%). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that tumor size was the only significant prognostic factor (P < .001). No differences in 5-year overall survival were seen (LRT, 91.7% vs. ENI, 100%; P = .106).

Conclusion

ENI may not be indicated in all cases, as additional benefit in reducing recurrence or improving survival was not predominant. LRT seems to be a feasible option with favorable patient outcomes.  相似文献

Introduction

Hormone receptor–positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative breast cancers without lymph node metastasis have good prognosis. We compared the prognosis of hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative, lymph node–negative cancers with Oncotype DX score ranges of 1 to 10 (1-10 group) and 11 to < 18 (11-18 group).

Patients and Methods

A total of 107 cases in the 1-10 group and 225 cases in the 11-18 group were reviewed. All patients received surgery. The use of chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and endocrine therapy, and overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), and distant metastasis were compared between groups.

Results

There were no statistical differences in the use of chemotherapy (5.05% vs. 6.05%, P = .724) or radiotherapy (52.53% vs. 59.07%, P = .276) between the 1-10 group and the 11-18 group, respectively. The median OS and DFS were 47 and 45 months, respectively, in the 1-10 group, and 49 and 48 months in the 11-18 group. No significant difference was seen in OS (P = .995), DFS (P = .148), or rates of metastasis (P = .998). The 11-18 group had more death events and distant metastasis (death, 5 events; recurrence, 2 events; metastasis, 2 events) than the 1-10 group (death, 0 events; recurrence, 4 events; metastasis, 0 events). The majority of recurrences seen in both groups were in young patients who failed to comply with their endocrine therapy regimen.

Conclusion

Patients in both the 1-10 group and the 11-18 group had good prognoses. Those who experienced recurrence were more likely to be premenopausal and to have failed to comply with the recommended endocrine therapy regimen. Endocrine therapy remains important in these patients.  相似文献

Background

Weekly nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel (nab-paclitaxel) demonstrated greater efficacy with less toxicity than docetaxel in metastatic breast cancer. We conducted a randomized phase II to compare these regimens as neoadjuvant chemotherapy for HER2? early-stage breast cancer.

Patients and Methods

Stage I-III human epidermal growth factor receptor-negative (HER2?) breast cancer patients were included in the present trial and received either docetaxel every 3 weeks or nab-paclitaxel on days 1, 8, and 15 every 28 days for 4 cycles, followed by FEC (5-fluorouracil, epirubicin, cyclophosphamide) every 3 weeks for 4 cycles. The primary endpoint was the pathologic complete response (pCR) rate, defined as ypT0 and ypN0. The secondary endpoints were pCR (ypT0/ypTis and ypN0), the clinical response rate (using the Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors criteria), histologic effect of treatment (using the Japanese Breast Cancer Society classification), breast conservation rate, and adverse events.

Results

A total of 152 eligible patients were enrolled at 6 centers. The baseline characteristics were well balanced. In comparing the 2 regimens (docetaxel/nab-paclitaxel), the pCR rate was 12% and 17% (P = .323). In the Ki67 > 20% group, the pCR rate was greater (24%) for the nab-paclitaxel arm than for the docetaxel arm (16%; P = .432). The most common grade 3/4 adverse event was neutropenia, observed in 40% and 36% of cases in the nab-paclitaxel and docetaxel arms, respectively. The nonhematologic adverse events of any grade were myalgia (34% and 32%), arthralgia (42% and 35%), and peripheral sensory neuropathy (55% and 65%) for the 2 treatment arms. No grade 3/4 peripheral sensory neuropathy was observed in the nab-paclitaxel arm.

Conclusion

Weekly nab-paclitaxel administered at a dose of 100 mg/m2 showed equivalent efficacy and was well tolerated compared with docetaxel as neoadjuvant therapy. Nab-paclitaxel might be more effective in patients with highly proliferative cancer.  相似文献

Objective

Concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CRT) was the standard treatment for locally advanced NSCLC (LA-NSCLC). This study was performed to examine thoracic radiotherapy (TRT) parameters and their impact on adverse events (AEs).

Methods

We collected individual patient data from 3600 patients with LA-NSCLC who participated in 16 cooperative group trials of concurrent CRT. The TRT parameters examined included field design strategy (elective nodal irradiation [ENI] versus involved-field [IF] TRT [IF-TRT]) and TRT dose (60 Gy versus ≥60 Gy). The primary end point of this analysis was the occurrence of AEs. ORs for AEs were calculated with univariable and multivariable logistic models.

Results

TRT doses ranged from 60 to 74 Gy. ENI was not associated with more grade 3 or higher AEs than IF-TRT was (multivariable OR = 0.77, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.543–1.102, p = 0.1545). Doses higher than 60 Gy (high-dose TRT) were associated with significantly more grade 3 or higher AEs (multivariable OR = 1.82, 95% CI: 1.501–2.203, p < 0.0001). In contrast, ENI was associated with significantly more grade 4 or higher AEs (multivariable OR = 1.33, 95% CI: 1.035–1.709, p = 0.0258). Doses higher than 60 Gy were also associated with more grade 4 or higher AEs (multivariate OR = 1.42, 95% CI: 1.191–1.700, p = 0.0001). Grade 5 AEs plus treatment-related deaths were more frequent with higher-dose TRT (p = 0.0012) but not ENI (p = 0.099).

Conclusions

For patients with LA-NSCLC treated with concurrent CRT, IF-TRT was not associated with the overall risk of grade 3 or higher AEs but was associated with significantly fewer grade 4 or higher AEs than ENI TRT. This is likely the result of irradiation of a lesser amount of adjacent critical normal tissue. Higher TRT doses were associated significantly with grade 3 or higher and grade 4 or higher AEs. On the basis of these findings and our prior report on survival, CRT using IF-TRT and 60 Gy (conventionally fractionated) were associated with more favorable patient survival and less toxicity than was the use of ENI or higher radiotherapy doses.  相似文献

Introduction

Individual prediction of local recurrence (LR) risk after breast-conserving surgery (BCS) for ductal carcinoma-in-situ (DCIS) is needed to identify women at low risk, for whom radiotherapy may be omitted.

Three predictive models of LR—clinicopathologic factors (CPF) alone; CPF + estrogen receptor (ER) + human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2); and CPF + DCIS score (DS)—were developed among 1102 cases of DCIS in patients with complete covariate and outcome data. Categorizations of discrete variables and transformations of continuous variables were examined in Cox models; 2-way interactions and interactions with time were assessed. Internal validation was performed by bootstrapping. Individual predicted 10-year LR risks were computed from covariate values, estimated regression parameters, and estimated baseline survival function. Accuracy was assessed by c statistics and calibration plots.

Results

The strongest prediction model incorporated CPF + DS. The c statistics for CPF + DS, CPF + ER + HER2, or CPF-alone models were 0.7025, 0.6879, and 0.6825, respectively. The CPF + DS model was better calibrated at predicting low (≤ 10%) individual 10-year LR risks after BCS alone than those incorporating CPF + ER + HER2 or CPF alone, evidenced by c statistics and plots of observed by predicted risks. Among women aged ≥ 50 with no adverse CPF, the CPF + DS model identified the greatest proportion of women (62.3%) with predicted individual 10-year LR ≤ 10% without radiotherapy compared to the CPF + ER + HER2 (50.9%) or CPF alone (46.5%) models.

Conclusion

Individual prediction of LR incorporating DS is more accurate and identifies a higher proportion of women with low predicted risk of LR after BCS alone, for whom radiotherapy may be omitted.  相似文献

Purpose

We aimed to determine the rate of pathological complete response (pCR), clinicopathological factors associated with pCR, and clinical outcomes following neoadjuvant chemotherapy in locally advanced breast cancer.

Methods

Medical records of patients who had undergone neoadjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer between January 2007 and September 2011 were retrospectively reviewed, and the pCR rates were calculated according to three sets of criteria: the National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project (NSABP), the MD Anderson Cancer Center (MDACC), and the German Breast Group (GBG). Tumors were classified as luminal A like, luminal B like, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), or triple-negative. pCR and clinical outcome, including overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) rates were analyzed at the median follow-up of 54.2 months.

Results

Of a total of 179 patients who had received neoadjuvant chemotherapy, 167 patients (93.3%) had locally advanced breast cancer and 12 patients (6.7%) had early-stage breast cancer. The majority of patients (152 patients, 89.4%) received anthracycline-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The objective clinical response rate was 61.5%, comprising clinical partial response in 5.5% and clinical complete response in 3.9% of patients. Twenty-one (11.7%), 20 (11.2%), and 17 patients (9.5%) achieved pCR according to NSABP, MDACC, and GBG definitions, respectively. pCR rates, as defined by NSABP, according to breast cancer subtype were 4.4%, 9.7%, 24.2%, and 19.2% in luminal A like, luminal B like, HER2, and triple-negative subtypes, respectively. Patients who achieved pCR had significantly better DFS (5-year DFS rates, 80% vs. 53%, p=0.030) and OS (5-year OS rates, 86% vs. 54%, p=0.042) than those who did not.

Conclusion

The pCR rate following neoadjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer in Thai women attending our institution was 11.7%; pCR was more frequently observed in HER2 and triple-negative breast tumor subtypes. Patients who achieved pCR had significantly improved survival.  相似文献

Background

The role of histology subtype on the prognosis of T1-2 breast cancer patients receiving breast-conserving surgery (BCS) is not clear.

Methods

The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program was used to compare overall survival, second primary cancer-free survival (CFS), and local recurrence risk (LR) for patients with invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) and invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC), both receiving BCS.

Results

The study enrolled 196,688 patients with T1-2 disease receiving BCS, including 12,906 with ILC and 183,782 with IDC. Patients with IDC showed higher unadjusted annual rates of BCS than ILC. Five- and 10-year estimated survival rates were, respectively, 92.06% and 86.14% in ILC, compared to 90.50% and 85.26% in IDC (P = .12). In multivariable Cox regression, ILC patients showed advantage over IDC in overall survival (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.93, P = .001), whereas no significant differences in CFS (HR = 1.03, P = .33) and LR (HR = 1.17, P = .06) were found, which were consistent with results from matched cohort. In subgroup analyses, patients with grade III ILC had poorer CFS (HR = 1.23, P = .009) and higher LR (HR = 1.59, P = .01) than IDC.

Conclusion

Histologic type is of prognostic importance in T1-2 patients receiving BCS, and surgeons should be cautious in performing BCS for individuals with grade III ILC.  相似文献
