This study determines the prognostic value of the luminal-like subtype in patients with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer and explores whether the efficacy of extended anastrozole therapy differs between patients with luminal A-like versus luminal B-like tumours.
The phase III DATA study (NCT00301457) examined the efficacy of 6 versus 3 years of anastrozole in postmenopausal women with early-stage hormone receptor-positive breast cancer who had received 2-3 years of tamoxifen. Patients with available formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue blocks were identified and classified by immunohistochemical luminal-like subtype. Distant recurrence (DR) and breast cancer-specific mortality (BCSM) were compared by luminal-like subtype and treatment arm using competing risk methods.
This study included 788 patients: 491 had a luminal A-like tumour and 297 had a luminal B-like tumour. The median follow-up time was 13.1 years. Patients with luminal B-like tumours experienced a higher risk of DR [subdistribution hazard ratio (sHR) 1.44, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.03-2.01, P = 0.03] and BCSM (sHR 1.68, 95% CI 1.15-2.45, P = 0.008) than patients with luminal A-like tumours. The efficacy of extended anastrozole therapy differed between patients with luminal A-like tumours (DR: sHR 0.51, 95% CI 0.30-0.88, P = 0.02; BCSM: sHR 0.39, 95% CI 0.19-0.82, P = 0.01) and patients with luminal B-like tumours (DR: sHR 2.09, 95% CI 0.96-4.53, P = 0.06; BCSM: sHR 2.36, 95% CI 0.80-7.00, P = 0.12) (P-interaction = 0.03 and P-interaction = 0.06, respectively).
In patients with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer, the luminal B-like subtype was associated with a significantly worse prognosis when compared with the luminal A-like subtype. Extended anastrozole therapy halved the risk of DR and BCSM in patients with luminal A-like tumours, whereas no effect was seen in patients with luminal B-like tumours.
本研究确定管腔样亚型在激素受体阳性乳腺癌患者中的预后价值,并探讨延长阿那曲唑治疗对管腔 A 样与管腔 B 样肿瘤患者疗效是否存在差异。
III 期 DATA 研究(NCT00301457)考察了阿那曲唑 6 年与 3 年治疗对接受 2 - 3 年他莫昔芬治疗的绝经后早期激素受体阳性乳腺癌女性的疗效。对有可用福尔马林固定石蜡包埋组织块的患者进行识别,并通过免疫组化管腔样亚型进行分类。采用竞争风险方法,按管腔样亚型和治疗组比较远处复发(DR)和乳腺癌特异性死亡率(BCSM)。
本研究纳入 788 例患者:491 例为管腔 A 样肿瘤,297 例为管腔 B 样肿瘤。中位随访时间为 13.1 年。管腔 B 样肿瘤患者的 DR 风险更高[亚分布风险比(sHR)1.44,95%置信区间(CI)1.03 - 2.01,P = 0.03],BCSM 风险也更高(sHR 1.68,95%CI 1.15 - 2.45,P = 0.008),高于管腔 A 样肿瘤患者。延长阿那曲唑治疗对管腔 A 样肿瘤患者(DR:sHR 0.51,95%CI 0.30 - 0.88,P = 0.02;BCSM:sHR 0.39,95%CI 0.19 - 0.82,P = 0.01)和管腔 B 样肿瘤患者(DR:sHR 2.09,95%CI 0.96 - 4.53,P = 0.06;BCSM:sHR 2.36,95%CI 0.80 - 7.00,P = 0.12)的疗效不同(P 交互作用分别为 0.03 和 0.06)。
在激素受体阳性乳腺癌患者中,与管腔 A 样亚型相比,管腔 B 样亚型的预后明显更差。延长阿那曲唑治疗使管腔 A 样肿瘤患者的 DR 和 BCSM 风险减半,而对管腔 B 样肿瘤患者无此效果。
