To evaluate the role of 21-gene recurrence score (RS) assay in adjuvant chemotherapy decision-making among older patients with early breast cancer.
Consecutive hormonal receptor-positive, aged ≥60 patients with breast cancer were enrolled from Shanghai Ruijin Hospital between January 2014 and December 2017. Treatment decisions were made by multi-disciplinary team (MDT) before and after 21-gene RS testing, and the actual treatment for each patient was also analyzed.
A total of 511 patients were enrolled, with 331 (64.8%) aged between 60 and 69, 140 (27.4%) between 70 and 79, and 40 (7.8%) over 80 years. There were 138 (27.0%), 287 (56.2%), and 86 (16.8%) patients classified as low, intermediate, and high risk RS, respectively. Multivariable analysis demonstrated that age, tumor stage, nodal status, PR expression, Ki-67, and 21-gene RS were independent impact factors for chemotherapy recommendations (P < .05). Patients with high risk RS and intermediate risk RS (both P < .001) were more often recommended to receive chemotherapy than patients with low risk RS. Treatment recommendations changed in 74 (14.5%) patients after 21-gene RS testing: 17 (3.3%) from chemotherapy to no chemotherapy and 57 (11.2%) from no chemotherapy to chemotherapy. Overall compliance rate to MDT recommendation after 21-gene RS testing was 95.7%.
An intermediate and/or high risk 21-gene RS assay was independently associated with receiving adjuvant chemotherapy among older patients with breast cancer. However, it showed a limited impact on adjuvant chemotherapy decision-making. After 21-gene RS testing, compliance with MDT recommendation was relatively high in older patients with breast cancer.
评估 21 基因复发评分(RS)检测在老年早期乳腺癌患者辅助化疗决策中的作用。
连续纳入 2014 年 1 月至 2017 年 12 月期间于上海瑞金医院就诊的激素受体阳性、年龄≥60 岁的乳腺癌患者。在进行 21 基因 RS 检测前后,通过多学科团队(MDT)制定治疗决策,并对每位患者的实际治疗进行分析。
共纳入 511 例患者,其中 331 例(64.8%)年龄在 60-69 岁之间,140 例(27.4%)年龄在 70-79 岁之间,40 例(7.8%)年龄超过 80 岁。低、中、高危 RS 患者分别为 138 例(27.0%)、287 例(56.2%)和 86 例(16.8%)。多变量分析显示,年龄、肿瘤分期、淋巴结状态、PR 表达、Ki-67 和 21 基因 RS 是化疗建议的独立影响因素(P<0.05)。高危 RS 和中危 RS 患者(均 P<0.001)较低危 RS 患者更倾向于接受化疗。21 基因 RS 检测后,74 例(14.5%)患者的治疗建议发生变化:17 例(3.3%)由化疗改为非化疗,57 例(11.2%)由非化疗改为化疗。21 基因 RS 检测后,MDT 建议的总体依从率为 95.7%。
中危和/或高危 21 基因 RS 检测与老年乳腺癌患者接受辅助化疗独立相关。然而,它对辅助化疗决策的影响有限。21 基因 RS 检测后,老年乳腺癌患者对 MDT 建议的依从性相对较高。
