The prognostic role of preoperative carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) in breast cancer is recognized, but the impact of postoperative CEA levels on survival in early breast cancer is uncertain.
We conducted a retrospective study of 921 non-metastatic breast cancer patients treated at anonymized. Patients were categorized as normal (CEA ≤3 µg/L) or elevated (CEA >3 µg/L).
Elevated postoperative CEA levels were associated with shorter disease-free survival (DFS) (median, 174.6 vs. 239.8 months; hazard ratio (HR): 1.80; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.27-2.56; < 0.001) and overall survival (OS) (median, 174.6 vs. 261.1 months; HR:2.34; 95% CI: 1.59-3.45; < 0.001). Elevated CEA was associated with shorter DFS (median, 174.6 months vs. not reached (NR); HR:2.30; 95% CI: 1.03-5.19; = 0.043) and OS (NR vs. NR; HR: 2.81; 95% CI: 1.06-7.48; = 0.039) in stage 1, shorter DFS (median, 239. 8 vs. 141.1 months; HR: 1.95; 95% CI: 1.28-2.98; = 0.002) and OS (median, 169 vs. 261.1 months; HR: 2.56; 95% CI: 1.6-4.12; < 0.001) in stage 2 and shorter OS (median, 65 vs. 183.1 months; HR: 3.25; 95% CI: 1.19-8.83; = 0.021) in stage 3.
Elevated postoperative CEA indicates worse DFS and OS in patients with HR-positive/HER2-negative early breast cancer.
术前癌胚抗原(CEA)在乳腺癌中的预后作用已得到认可,但术后CEA水平对早期乳腺癌患者生存的影响尚不确定。
我们对921例接受匿名治疗的非转移性乳腺癌患者进行了回顾性研究。患者被分为正常(CEA≤3μg/L)或升高(CEA>3μg/L)两组。
术后CEA水平升高与无病生存期(DFS)缩短相关(中位数,174.6个月对239.8个月;风险比(HR):1.80;95%置信区间(CI):1.27 - 2.56;P<0.001)和总生存期(OS)缩短相关(中位数,174.6个月对261.1个月;HR:2.34;95%CI:1.59 - 3.45;P<0.001)。在Ⅰ期,CEA升高与DFS缩短相关(中位数,174.6个月对未达到(NR);HR:2.30;95%CI:1.03 - 5.19;P = 0.043)和OS缩短相关(NR对NR;HR:2.81;95%CI:1.06 - 7.48;P = 0.039);在Ⅱ期,与DFS缩短相关(中位数,239.8个月对141.1个月;HR:1.95;95%CI:1.28 - 2.98;P = 0.002)和OS缩短相关(中位数,169个月对261.1个月;HR:2.56;95%CI:1.6 - 4.12;P<0.001);在Ⅲ期,与OS缩短相关(中位数,65个月对183.1个月;HR:3.25;95%CI:1.19 - 8.83;P = 0.021)。
术后CEA升高表明HR阳性/HER2阴性早期乳腺癌患者的DFS和OS较差。
