No effective treatment has been developed for bone-metastatic breast cancer. We found 3 cases with clinical complete response (cCR) of the bone metastasis and longer overall survival of the retrospectively examined cohort treated comprehensively including autologous formalin-fixed tumor vaccine (AFTV).
AFTV was prepared individually for each patient from their own formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded breast cancer tissues.
Three patients maintained cCR status of the bone metastasis for 17 months or more. Rate of cCR for 1 year or more appeared to be 15% (3/20) after comprehensive treatments including AFTV. The median overall survival time (60.0 months) and the 3- to 8-year survival rates after diagnosis of bone metastasis were greater than those of historical control cohorts in Japan (1988-2002) and in the nationwide population-based cohort study of Denmark (1999-2007).
Bone-metastatic breast cancer may be curable after comprehensive treatments including AFTV, although larger scale clinical trial is required.
目前尚未开发出针对骨转移性乳腺癌的有效治疗方法。我们发现3例骨转移临床完全缓解(cCR)的病例,且回顾性研究队列中接受包括自体福尔马林固定肿瘤疫苗(AFTV)在内的综合治疗的患者总生存期更长。
从每位患者自身福尔马林固定、石蜡包埋的乳腺癌组织中单独制备AFTV。
3例患者骨转移的cCR状态维持了17个月或更长时间。在包括AFTV在内的综合治疗后,1年或更长时间的cCR率似乎为15%(3/20)。骨转移诊断后的中位总生存时间(60.0个月)以及3至8年生存率高于日本历史对照队列(1988 - 2002年)和丹麦全国基于人群的队列研究(1999 - 2007年)。
尽管需要更大规模的临床试验,但包括AFTV在内的综合治疗后,骨转移性乳腺癌可能治愈。
