乳腺癌改良根治术后复发高危患者的放疗结果和预后因素分析

目的 总结本院高危乳腺癌患者改良根治术后的治疗结果,探讨放疗的作用和照射野的选择,并对生存预后因素进行分析.方法 回顾性分析381例T_3～T_4期和(或)腋窝淋巴结转移数≥4个的改良根治术后乳腺癌患者临床资料.用Kaplan-Meier法计算生存率,并Logrank法检验.单因素分析临床病理和治疗因素对生存率的影响,多因素分析用Cox回归模型.结果 中位随访时间为48个月.总5年无局部区域复发率为89.7%、总生存率为76.8%.放疗显著提高5年无局部区域复发生存率(93.4%:77.1%,χ~2=19.95,P=0.000)和总生存率(80.9%:62.3%,χ~2=15.47,P=0.001).胸壁和锁骨上区域照射能提高患者的5年无胸壁复发生存率(96.8%:86.2%;χ~2=12.66,P=0.001)和无锁骨上淋巴结复发生存率(97.7%:90.7%,χ~2=9.98,P=0.002),腋窝照射对5年无腋窝复发生存率无影响(98.4%:96.1%,χ~2=0.74,P=0.389).多因素分析显示未放疗(χ~2=14.42,P=0.000)、腋窝淋巴结阳性数≥10个(χ~2=21.60,P=0.000)和T_4期(χ~2=10.79,P=0.001)是总生存率的独立不良预后因素.结论 T_3～T_4期和(或)腋窝淋巴结转移数≥4个乳腺癌患者改良根治术后放疗显著降低局部复发率和提高总生存率,照射部位可选择同侧胸壁和锁骨上淋巴结引流区.

Role of radiotherapy and prognostic factors in breast cancer patients at high-risk of recurrence trea-ted with modified radical mastectomy and chemotherapy

Objective To analyze the outcome and prognostic factors in breast cancer at high-risk of recurrence and evaluate the role of radiotherapy. Methods 381 breast cancer patients treated with mastec-tomy and axillary dissection were retrospectively analyzed. The including criterias were pathologic diagnosis of invasive breast cancer, T_3-T_4 and/or four or more positive axillary nodes. The survival rates was calculat-ed by Kaplan-Meier method, and compared by Logrank test. Cox regression model was used to select poten-tial prognostic variables. Results The median follow up was 48 months. The 5-year overall survival (OS) and locoregional recurrence-free survival (LRFS) rates were 76.8% and 89.7%, respectively. Radiothera-py significantly improved the OS (80.9% vs. 62.3%, χ~2=15.47, P=0.001) and LRFS (93.4% vs. 77.1% χ~2=19.95,P=0.000). The use of ipsilateral chest wall and supraclavicular nodal radiation was associated with increased 5-year chest wall recurrence free survival (96.8% : 86.2%, χ~2= 12.66, P=0.001) and 5-year supraclavicular node recurrence free survival (97.7% : 90.7 %, χ~2= 9.98, P=0.002).However, axillary irradiation had no impact on 5-year axillary recurrence free survival (98.4% : 96.1% ,χ~2=0.74, P=0.389). In multivariate analysis, absence of radiotherapy (χ~2=14.42, P=0.000), 10 or more positive axillary nodes (χ~2=21.60, P=0.000), and T_4 stage (χ~2=10.79, P=0.001) were inde-pendent unfavorable prognostic factors for overall survival. Conclusions Radiotherapy improves the overall survival of breast cancer patients with T_3, T_4 and/or four or more positive axillary nodes. The chest wall and supraclavicular nodal radiation should be given to this group of patients.
