Neoadjuvant endocrine therapy (NET) has been demonstrated to improve breast-conserving rate and is a widely accepted treatment option for postmenopausal patients with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. There are few reports on the association of NET response and long-term outcomes.
To investigate the prognostic value of clinical response to NET.
Long-term outcomes of NET were examined in 107 patients who participated in the multicentre prospective neoadjuvant exemestane study, JFMC34-0601. Patients were treated with 25 mg/day exemestane for 16 weeks followed by an 8-week extension depending on the treatment response.
Clinical response included partial response (PR) in 58 patients, stable disease in 41 patients and progressive disease (PD) in 8 patients. Clinical response was significantly associated with disease-free survival (DFS), distant disease-free survival (DDFS) and overall survival (OS) (P<0.0001 for all). Especially, patients with PD showed markedly poor outcomes with median DFS=17.8 months (HR (vs PR): 7.7 (95% CI 1.6 to 33)) and median OS=37.7 months (HR (vs PR): 26.3 (95% CI 2.4 to 655)). Preoperative endocrine prognostic index (PEPI) were associated with DFS and marginally with OS (P=0.022 and 0.066, respectively). PEPI=0 indicated an excellent prognosis with 95% 5-year DFS (95% CI 73 to 99). In the multivariate analysis including T stage, nodal status and Ki67, clinical response was an independent prognostic factor for DFS, DDFS and OS (P=0.032, 0.0007 and 0.020, respectively), whereas PEPI was marginally associated with DFS and OS (P=0.079 and 0.068, respectively).
Clinical response to NET showed an independent prognostic value. Patients with PD had markedly poor prognosis, indicating a need of additional therapy. PEPI=0 indicated an excellent prognosis. The integration of clinical response and PEPI would improve decision-making with regard to treatment options for endocrine-responsive breast cancer when these results are validated in a larger clinical trial.

新辅助内分泌治疗(NET)已被证明可提高保乳率,是绝经后激素受体阳性乳腺癌患者广泛接受的治疗选择。关于NET反应与长期预后之间关联的报道较少。
探讨NET临床反应的预后价值。
对参加多中心前瞻性新辅助依西美坦研究JFMC34 - 0601的107例患者的NET长期预后进行了研究。患者接受每日25mg依西美坦治疗16周,然后根据治疗反应延长8周。
临床反应包括58例部分缓解(PR)、41例疾病稳定和8例疾病进展(PD)。临床反应与无病生存期(DFS)、远处无病生存期(DDFS)和总生存期(OS)显著相关(所有P<0.0001)。特别是,PD患者的预后明显较差,中位DFS = 17.8个月(HR(与PR相比):7.7(95%CI 1.6至33)),中位OS = 37.7个月(HR(与PR相比):26.3(95%CI 2.4至655))。术前内分泌预后指数(PEPI)与DFS相关,与OS边缘相关(分别为P = 0.022和0.066)。PEPI = 0表明预后极佳,5年DFS为95%(95%CI 73至99)。在包括T分期、淋巴结状态和Ki67的多变量分析中,临床反应是DFS、DDFS和OS的独立预后因素(分别为P = 0.032、0.0007和0.020),而PEPI与DFS和OS边缘相关(分别为P = 0.079和0.068)。
NET的临床反应显示出独立的预后价值。PD患者的预后明显较差,表明需要额外治疗。PEPI = 0表明预后极佳。当这些结果在更大规模的临床试验中得到验证时,将临床反应和PEPI相结合将改善内分泌反应性乳腺癌治疗方案的决策制定。
