Postmastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT) improves locoregional control (LRC) in patients with high-risk features after mastectomy. Young age continues to evolve as a potentially important risk factor. The objective of this study was to assess the benefits of PMRT in patients <35 years old treated with doxorubicin-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy for Stage II-III breast cancer.
We retrospectively analyzed 107 consecutive breast cancer patients <35 years old with Stage IIA-IIIC disease treated at our institution with doxorubicin-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy and mastectomy, with or without PMRT. The treatment groups were compared in terms of LRC and overall survival.
Despite more advanced disease stages, the patients who received PMRT (n = 80) had greater rates of LRC (5-year rate, 88% vs. 63%, p = 0.001) and better overall survival (5-year rate, 67% vs. 48%, p = 0.03) than patients who did not receive PMRT (n = 27).
Among breast cancer patients <35 years old at diagnosis, the use of PMRT after doxorubicin-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy and mastectomy led to a statistically greater rate of LRC and overall survival compared with patients without PMRT. The benefit seen for PMRT in young patients provides valuable data to better tailor adjuvant, age-specific treatment decisions after mastectomy.
乳房切除术后放疗(PMRT)可改善乳房切除术后具有高危特征患者的局部区域控制(LRC)。年轻正逐渐成为一个潜在的重要危险因素。本研究的目的是评估PMRT对接受以阿霉素为基础的新辅助化疗的II - III期乳腺癌35岁以下患者的益处。
我们回顾性分析了107例连续的35岁以下IIA - IIIC期乳腺癌患者,这些患者在我们机构接受了以阿霉素为基础的新辅助化疗及乳房切除术,部分接受了PMRT。比较治疗组之间的LRC和总生存率。
尽管疾病分期更晚,但接受PMRT的患者(n = 80)与未接受PMRT的患者(n = 27)相比,LRC率更高(5年率,88%对63%,p = 0.001),总生存率也更好(5年率,67%对48%,p = 0.03)。
在诊断时年龄小于35岁的乳腺癌患者中,与未接受PMRT的患者相比,在以阿霉素为基础的新辅助化疗和乳房切除术后使用PMRT导致LRC率和总生存率在统计学上显著更高。在年轻患者中观察到的PMRT益处为更好地制定乳房切除术后辅助性、针对年龄的治疗决策提供了有价值的数据。
