We evaluated the clinical implications of human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER)-2 overexpression after adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) for ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS).
We reviewed 215 patients with DCIS who underwent breast-conserving surgery followed by RT. The association between HER-2 overexpression and ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence (IBTR) was evaluated.
HER-2 overexpression was associated with comedo-type architecture, high nuclear grade, and negative hormonal receptors. The median follow-up duration was 75 months. Sixteen patients experienced IBTR; seven as DCIS recurrence and nine as invasive recurrence. The IBTR rate was 11.4% at 10 years. There was no significant difference in IBTR according to HER-2 expression (P = 0.1764), neither in invasive nor DCIS recurrence. Time to recurrence was shorter in HER-2 positive tumors (P = 0.0697).
Adjuvant RT seems to counteract the negative effect of HER-2 overexpression in DCIS, while time to recurrence was relatively shorter.
我们评估了人表皮生长因子受体(HER)-2 过表达在导管原位癌(DCIS)辅助放疗(RT)后的临床意义。
我们回顾了 215 例接受保乳手术加 RT 的 DCIS 患者。评估了 HER-2 过表达与同侧乳房肿瘤复发(IBTR)之间的关系。
HER-2 过表达与粉刺型结构、高核级和阴性激素受体有关。中位随访时间为 75 个月。16 例患者发生 IBTR;7 例为 DCIS 复发,9 例为浸润性复发。10 年时的 IBTR 率为 11.4%。HER-2 表达与 IBTR 无关(P = 0.1764),无论是浸润性复发还是 DCIS 复发。HER-2 阳性肿瘤的复发时间较短(P = 0.0697)。
辅助 RT 似乎抵消了 HER-2 过表达对 DCIS 的负面影响,而复发时间相对较短。
