Intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) has gained momentum for early stage and favorable breast cancers (BC). The 21-gene recurrence assay guides treatment of hormone positive and node-negative BC.
Analysis of 82 invasive BC treated with breast conservation surgery (BCS) and IORT 2013-2015. Data collection included patient demographics, tumor characteristics, nodal status, recurrence test (RS) and adjuvant therapy.
The mean age was 68 years. Tumors were stage Ia (86.6%), 3.6% Ib and 9.8% IIa. Of 50 patients (61.0%) with RS testing, 72% (n=36) were low risk (RS 0-17), with 28% (n=14) at intermediate risk (RS 18-30). The 39% (n=32) of patients without RS testing, were more likely to have smaller tumors (1.3 0.9 cm) and age >70 (P<0.05).
Most patients selected for IORT based on clinical features were indeed low risk based on RS. Given the limited long-term clinical outcome and safety data of this technique, additional investigation is needed.
术中放疗(IORT)在早期及预后良好的乳腺癌(BC)治疗中得到了更多应用。21基因复发检测可指导激素受体阳性且腋窝淋巴结阴性的乳腺癌治疗。
分析2013 - 2015年接受保乳手术(BCS)及IORT治疗的82例浸润性乳腺癌患者。数据收集包括患者人口统计学信息、肿瘤特征、淋巴结状态、复发检测(RS)及辅助治疗情况。
患者平均年龄68岁。肿瘤分期为Ia期(86.6%)、Ib期(3.6%)及IIa期(9.8%)。在50例(61.0%)进行RS检测的患者中,72%(n = 36)为低风险(RS 0 - 17),28%(n = 14)为中风险(RS 18 - 30)。39%(n = 32)未进行RS检测的患者,肿瘤更可能较小(1.3 ± 0.9 cm)且年龄>70岁(P<0.05)。
基于临床特征选择接受IORT治疗的大多数患者,根据RS检测结果确实为低风险。鉴于该技术的长期临床结局和安全性数据有限,需要进一步研究。
