Recently, evaluation of quality of life (QOL) has been recognized as a significant outcome measure in the treatment of several cancers. In this study, the Anti-Cancer Drugs-Breast (ACD-B) QOL score was used to assess disease-specific survival in women with breast cancer undergoing preoperative chemotherapy (POC).
QOL-ACD-B scores were evaluated before and after POC. The cut-off value of QOL-ACD-B contributing to events such as relapse or death was calculated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis.
In 300 women with breast cancer treated with POC, QOL was significantly reduced ( < 0·001). A high QOL-ACD-B score before POC was an independent factor in the multivariable analysis of overall survival (hazard ratio 0·26, 95 per cent c.i. 0·04 to 0·96).
Evaluation by QOL-ACD-B before POC may be useful to predict the prognosis of patients with breast cancer undergoing POC.
最近,生活质量(QOL)的评估已被认为是治疗多种癌症的重要结果衡量标准。在这项研究中,使用抗癌症药物 - 乳房(ACD-B)QOL 评分来评估接受术前化疗(POC)的乳腺癌女性的疾病特异性生存。
在 POC 前后评估 QOL-ACD-B 评分。通过接收者操作特征(ROC)曲线分析计算 QOL-ACD-B 评分的截止值,该值有助于复发或死亡等事件发生。
在接受 POC 治疗的 300 名乳腺癌女性中,QOL 显著降低(<0·001)。POC 前的高 QOL-ACD-B 评分是多变量分析中总体生存的独立因素(风险比 0·26,95%置信区间 0·04 至 0·96)。
在 POC 之前进行 QOL-ACD-B 评估可能有助于预测接受 POC 的乳腺癌患者的预后。
