Loco-regional therapy (LRT) in de novo metastatic breast cancer (MBC) has been investigated in several clinical trials, with heterogeneous and conflicting results.
We conducted a retrospective study of de novo MBC patients treated with front-line chemotherapy (FLC) followed by LRT of the primary tumor. Our aims were to evaluate the characteristics, treatment, and oncological outcomes in terms of progression-free survival (PFS), distant progression-free survival (DPFS), and overall survival (OS) of de novo MBC. We also investigated possible subgroups of patients with better outcomes according to menopausal status, biological sub-type, location, number of metastases, and radiologic complete response after FLC.
We included 61 patients in the study. After a median follow-up of 55 months, disease progression occurred in 60.7% of patients and 49.2% died. There were no significant differences in PFS, DPFS, and OS between different subgroups of de novo MBC patients. A trend toward better PFS and DPFS was observed in triple-positive tumors, without a statistically significant difference in OS.
No specific subgroup of de novo MBC patients showed a statistically significant survival advantage after FLC followed by LRT of the primary tumor.
在多项临床试验中对初诊转移性乳腺癌(MBC)的局部区域治疗(LRT)进行了研究,结果各异且相互矛盾。
我们对接受一线化疗(FLC)后行原发肿瘤LRT的初诊MBC患者进行了一项回顾性研究。我们的目的是根据初诊MBC的无进展生存期(PFS)、远处无进展生存期(DPFS)和总生存期(OS)评估其特征、治疗及肿瘤学结局。我们还根据绝经状态、生物学亚型、部位、转移灶数量以及FLC后的放射学完全缓解情况,研究了可能预后较好的患者亚组。
我们纳入了61例患者进行研究。中位随访55个月后,60.7%的患者出现疾病进展,49.2%的患者死亡。初诊MBC患者的不同亚组之间,PFS、DPFS和OS无显著差异。三阳性肿瘤患者的PFS和DPFS有改善趋势,但OS无统计学显著差异。
在接受FLC后行原发肿瘤LRT的初诊MBC患者中,没有特定亚组显示出统计学显著的生存优势。
