We compared characteristics and outcomes by treatment sequence among patients with metaplastic breast cancer (MBC), an aggressive subtype.
Women ≥18 years old with newly diagnosed Stage I-III MBC from 2003 to 2018 who received any treatment in our health system were identified. Unadjusted overall survival (OS) was estimated with the Kaplan-Meier method; the log-rank test was used to compare survival differences between recipients of neoadjuvant (NACT) and adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT).
Of the 91 MBC patients identified, 60 received chemotherapy. NACT recipients (n = 20, median age 46.5 y) were younger than ACT recipients (n = 40, median age 60.5 y, p < 0.001) but similar with regards to race and radiation receipt. There was no significant OS difference between NACT and ACT recipients (log-rank p = 0.15), which remained true when patients were stratified by age (≥50 y vs < 50 y).
Among MBC patients, NACT recipients were younger than ACT recipients, but there was no survival difference by treatment sequence.
我们比较了具有转移性乳腺癌(MBC)的患者在不同治疗顺序下的特征和结局,MBC 是一种侵袭性亚型。
本研究纳入了 2003 年至 2018 年间在我们医疗系统中诊断为 I-III 期 MBC 且年龄≥18 岁的女性患者。采用 Kaplan-Meier 法估计未经调整的总生存(OS);采用对数秩检验比较接受新辅助化疗(NACT)和辅助化疗(ACT)的患者的生存差异。
在 91 例 MBC 患者中,有 60 例接受了化疗。NACT 组(n=20,中位年龄 46.5 岁)患者的年龄小于 ACT 组(n=40,中位年龄 60.5 岁,p<0.001),但两组在种族和放疗方面相似。NACT 组和 ACT 组之间的 OS 差异无统计学意义(对数秩检验 p=0.15),当按年龄(≥50 岁与<50 岁)分层时,该结果仍然成立。
在 MBC 患者中,NACT 组患者的年龄小于 ACT 组患者,但治疗顺序无生存差异。
