Project description:To describe survival according to prognostic factors of women with breast cancer in French overseas territory (Martinique) during 2008-2017. We performed a Cox model for prognostic factors for OS in breast cancer patients. The cut-off date for the analysis was 13/10/2018. The main factors were demographic data, stage, hormone receptors (HR) status and HER2 status. Curves were compared with the log rank test to select candidate variables for the multivariate analysis. We included 1,708 patients; median age at diagnosis was 57 years. Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) accounted for 20.9% (n = 332). Among the patients, 72.3% (n = 1015) had localised or local spread cancer. One-year OS was 95.2% and was 80.1% at 5 years. In TNBC, 1-year-survival was 90.4%, which fell to 70.1% at 5 years. Patients with metastatic disease at diagnosis had 1-year-survival of 74.5%, and 20.1% at 5 years. Multivariate analysis by Cox regression identified 4 factors significantly associated with an increased risk of death: metastatic disease at diagnosis (hazard ratio (HR) = 15, p<0.0001), TNBC (HR 2.84, p<0.0001), HR+/HER2- status (HR 2.05, p<0.0084) and age >75 years (HR 3.8, p<0.0001). This is the first study performed on breast cancer survival in Martinique. Our findings show that breast cancer has overall good prognosis in patients and also how prognosis factors are distributed in the population.

Project description:Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) represents a heterogeneous breast cancer subtype with a poor prognosis. The optimal adjuvant chemotherapy regimen is still unknown. Although numerous large randomized trials have established the benefit of adjuvant anthracyclines and/or taxanes in TNBC, there is no preferred regimen for these patients. There is currently no guideline. Moreover, without knowing the optimal treatment backbone, it will not be possible to evaluate whether adding agents such as platinum or other novel therapies is beneficial for TNBC patients. Furthermore, the best duration of adjuvant treatment in TNBC is still unknown. This review will focus on results of clinical trials that analyzed the benefits of extending the duration of adjuvant treatment in TNBCs with maintenance treatments. We will further discuss promising results in favor of other new agents including capecitabine, metronomic treatment, and biological drugs.

Project description:Delayed time to chemotherapy (TTC) is associated with decreased outcomes of breast cancer patients. Recently, studies suggested that the association might be subtype-dependent and that TTC within 30?days should be warranted in patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). The aim of the current study is to determine if TTC beyond 30?days is associated with reduced 10-year overall survival in TNBC patients. We identified all TNBC patients diagnosed between 2006 and 2014 who received adjuvant chemotherapy in the Netherlands. We distinguished between breast-conserving surgery (BCS) vs. mastectomy given the difference in preoperative characteristics and outcomes. The association was estimated with hazard ratios (HRs) using propensity-score matched Cox proportional hazard analyses. In total, 3,016 patients were included. In matched patients who underwent BCS (n = 904), 10-year overall survival was favorable for patients with TTC within 30?days (84.4% vs. 76.9%, p = 0.001). Patients with TTC beyond 30?days were more likely than those with TTC within 30?days to die within 10?years after surgery (HR 1.69 (95% CI 1.22-2.34), p = 0.002). In matched patients who underwent mastectomy (n = 1,568), there was no difference in 10?years overall survival between those with TTC within or beyond 30?days (74.5% vs. 74.7%, p = 0.716), nor an increased risk of death for those with TTC beyond 30?days (HR 1.04 (95% CI 0.84-1.28), p = 0.716). Initiation of adjuvant chemotherapy beyond 30?days is associated with decreased 10?years overall survival in TNBC patients who underwent BCS. Therefore, timelier initiation of chemotherapy in TNBC patients undergoing BCS seems warranted.

Project description:BackgroundTriple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is characterized by poor prognosis and lack of targeted therapies and biomarkers to guide decisions on adjuvant chemotherapy. Parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) is frequently overexpressed in breast cancer and involved in proliferation and metastasis, two hallmarks of poor prognosis for node-negative breast cancer. We investigated the prognostic value of PTHrP with respect to organ-specific metastasis and nodal status in TNBC.MethodsWe assessed PTHrP expression using immunohistochemistry in a clinically annotated tissue microarray for a population-based study of 314 patients newly diagnosed with TNBC, then analyzed its correlation to progression and survival using Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analyses. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) validation analysis was performed through Bioconductor. All statistical tests were two-sided.ResultsPTHrP overexpression (160 of 290 scorable cases, 55.2%) was statistically significantly associated in univariate analysis with decreased overall survival (OS) in our cohort (P = .0055) and The Cancer Genome Atlas (P = .0018) and decreased central nervous system (CNS)-progression-free survival (P = .0029). In multivariate analysis, PTHrP was a statistically significant independent prognostic factor for CNS-progression-free survival in TNBC (hazard ratio [HR] = 5.014, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.421 to 17.692, P = .0122) and for OS selectively in node-negative TNBC (HR = 2.423, 95% CI = 1.129 to 5.197, P = .0231). Strikingly, PTHrP emerged as the only statistically significant prognostic factor (HR = 2.576, 95% CI = 1.019 to 6.513, P = .0456) for OS of low-clinical risk node-negative patients who did not receive adjuvant chemotherapy.ConclusionsPTHrP is a novel independent prognostic factor for CNS metastasis and adjuvant chemotherapy selection of low-clinical risk node-negative TNBC. Its predictive value needs to be prospectively assessed in clinical trials.

Project description:Aim: Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is known as aggressive subtype and have no identified targeted therapies. We examined the relationship of neoadjuvant chemotherapy response to genetic variations of TNBC. Methods: The tumors used in this study were collected from Showa University Hospital, Japan. Thirteen formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tumors from Japanese TNBC patients who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy were used for analysis. Of these, eight surgically resected tumors showed progressive disease and/or recurrence after treatment (PD/REC), and biopsy tissues from five patients showing pathological complete response (pCR) were analyzed. DNA extracted from tissue sample were analyzed. The Miseq system and Trusight Tumor Sequence panel kit were used to sequence 174 amplicons over 82 exons of 26 cancer-related genes to identify genetic mutations. Results: Seven somatic non-synonymous variants were detected in three genes (FOXL2, PIK3CA, and TP53) in all five pCR patients, and six somatic non-synonymous variants in two genes (PTEN and TP53) were detected in six of eight PD/REC patients. Eight of 13 TNBC tumors were found to have TP53 pathogenic variants, in both pCR and PD/REC cases. Conclusion: Although TP53 variation was detected in both pCR and PD/REC cases, each location and type of the variant were different. We could not identify genetic mutations associated with chemotherapy response and recurrence.

Project description:BackgroundTriple-negative breast cancers (TNBCs) are the most deadly form of breast cancer (BC) subtypes. Axillary lymph node involvement (ALNI) has been described to be prognostic in BC taken as a whole, but its prognostic value in each subtype is unclear. We explored the prognostic impact of ALNI and especially of small size axillary metastases in early TNBCs.MethodsWe analysed in this multicentre study all patients treated for early TNBC in 12 French cancer centres. We explored the correlation between clinicopathological data and ALNI, with a specific focus on the dichotomisation between macrometastases and occult metastases, which is defined as the presence of isolated tumour cells or micrometastases. The prognostic value of ALNI both in terms of disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) was also explored.ResultsWe included 1237 TNBC patients. Five-year DFS and OS were 83.7% and 88.5%, respectively. The identified independent prognostic features for DFS were tumour size >20?mm (hazard ratio (HR)=1.86; 95% CI: 1.11-3.10, P=0.018), lymphovascular invasion (HR=1.69; 95% CI: 1.21-2.34, P=0.002) and ALNI both in case of macrometastases (HR=1.97; 95% CI: 1.38-2.81, P<0.0001) and occult metastases (HR=1.72; 95% CI: 1.1-2.71, P=0.019). DFS and OS were similar between tumours with occult metastases and macrometastases. Tumours presenting at least two pejorative features (out of ALNI, lymphovascular invasion and large tumour size) displayed a significantly poorer DFS in both the training set and validation set, independently of chemotherapy administration. Tumours with no more than one of the above-cited pejorative features had a 5-year OS of ?90% vs 70% for other cases (P<0.0001).ConclusionsAxillary lymph node involvement is a key prognostic feature for early TNBC when isolated tumour cells were identified in lymph nodes. This impact is independent of chemotherapy use.

Project description:PurposeAdjuvant chemotherapy reduces recurrence in early-stage triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). However, data are lacking evaluating anthracycline + taxane (ATAX) versus taxane-based (TAX) chemotherapy in older women with node-negative TNBC, as they are often excluded from trials. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of adjuvant ATAX versus TAX on cancer-specific (CSS) and overall survival (OS) in older patients with node-negative TNBC.Patients and methodsUsing the SEER-Medicare database, we selected patients aged ≥ 66 years diagnosed with Stage T1-4N0M0 TNBC between 2010 and 2015 (N = 3348). Kaplan-Meier survival curves and adjusted Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate 3-year OS and CSS. Multivariant Cox regression analysis was used to identify independent factors associated with use of ATAX compared to TAX.ResultsApproximately half (N = 1679) of patients identified received chemotherapy and of these, 58.6% (N = 984) received TAX, 25.0% (N = 420) received ATAX, and 16.4% (N = 275) received another regimen. Three-year CSS and OS was improved with any adjuvant chemotherapy from 88.9 to 92.2% (p = 0.0018) for CSS and 77.2% to 88.6% for OS (p < 0.0001). In contrast, treatment with ATAX compared to TAX was associated with inferior 3-year CSS and OS. Three-year CSS was 93.7% with TAX compared to 89.8% (p = 0.048) for ATAX and OS was 91.0% for TAX and 86.4% for ATAX (p = 0.032).ConclusionWhile adjuvant chemotherapy was associated with improved clinical outcomes, the administration of ATAX compared to TAX was associated with inferior 3-year OS and CSS in older women with node-negative TNBC. The use of adjuvant ATAX should be considered carefully in this patient population.

Project description:BackgroundThe survival outcomes of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) versus adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) for patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) remain unclear. Therefore, in this study, a meta-analysis was conducted to analyze current evidence on the survival outcomes of NACT versus ACT in TNBC.MethodsA systematic search was performed on the PubMed and Embase databases to identify relevant articles investigating the survival outcomes of NACT versus ACT in TNBC.ResultsA total of nine studies involving 36,480 patients met the selection criteria. Among them, 10,728 (29.41%) received NACT, and 25,752 (70.59%) received ACT. The pathological complete response (pCR) rate was 35% (95% CI = 0.23-0.48). Compared with ACT, the overall survival (OS) of NACT was poor (HR = 1.59; 95% CI = 1.25-2.02; P = 0.0001), and there was no significant difference in disease-free survival (DFS) between the two treatments (HR = 0.85; 95% CI = 0.54-1.34; P = 0.49). NACT with pCR significantly improved the OS (HR = 0.53; 95% CI = 0.29-0.98; P = 0.04) and DFS (HR = 0.52; 95% CI = 0.29-0.94; P = 0.03), while the OS (HR = 1.18; 95% CI = 1.09-1.28; P < 0.0001) and DFS (HR = 2.36; 95% CI = 1.42-3.89; P = 0.0008) of patients with residual disease (RD) following NACT were worse compared to those receiving ACT.ConclusionThese findings suggest that, for TNBC, NACT with pCR is superior to ACT in improving OS and DFS, and it turns to be opposite when patients are receiving NACT with RD.

Project description:PURPOSE:As triple-negative breast cancers are associated with earlier recurrences and poorer survival, optimal treatment of early-stage breast cancer is essential. Several retrospective studies in triple-negative breast cancer have reported conflicting results in overall survival in patients receiving neoadjuvant or adjuvant systemic therapy. This study aims to analyze outcomes of adjuvant versus neoadjuvant in patients with early-stage triple-negative breast cancer with and without BRCA germline mutations. METHODS:Patients with stage I or II triple-negative breast cancer who had BRCA testing were identified from a prospective cohort study of 4027 patients. Clinical, demographic, genetic test results, chemotherapy, recurrence, and survival data were analyzed. Overall survival and disease-free survival were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS:319 patients with stage I and II triple-negative breast cancer who met eligibility criteria were included in the analysis. 187 received adjuvant chemotherapy (58.6%) and 132 received neoadjuvant chemotherapy (41.4%). 135 were BRCA positive (42.3%) and 184 were BRCA negative (57.7%). There was no significant association between overall survival or disease-free survival and treatment with neoadjuvant versus adjuvant in the overall cohort. Furthermore, there were no significant differences between patient subgroups (neoadjuvant BRCA positive, neoadjuvant BRCA negative, adjuvant BRCA positive, and adjuvant BRCA negative) with respect to either overall survival or disease-free survival. CONCLUSIONS:Neoadjuvant versus adjuvant with standard anthracycline- and taxane-containing regimens results in similar disease-free survival and overall survival among patients with stage I and II triple-negative breast cancer regardless of BRCA status. Further studies are needed to evaluate whether similar results are observed with newer agents.

Project description:BackgroundAlthough chemotherapy is used routinely in pediatric medulloblastoma (MB) patients, its benefit for adult MB is unclear. We evaluated the survival impact of adjuvant chemotherapy in adult MB.MethodsUsing the National Cancer Data Base, we identified patients aged 18 years and older who were diagnosed with MB in 2004-2012 and underwent surgical resection and adjuvant craniospinal irradiation (CSI). Patients were divided into those who received adjuvant CSI and chemotherapy (CRT) or CSI alone (RT). Predictors of CRT compared with RT were evaluated with univariable and multivariable logistic regression. Survival analysis was limited to patients receiving CSI doses between 23 and 36 Gy. Overall survival (OS) was evaluated using the Kaplan-Meier estimator, log-rank test, multivariable Cox proportional hazards modeling, and propensity score matching.ResultsOf the 751 patients included, 520 (69.2%) received CRT, and 231 (30.8%) received RT. With median follow-up of 5.0 years, estimated 5-year OS was superior in patients receiving CRT versus RT (86.1% vs 71.6%, P < .0001). On multivariable analysis, after controlling for risk factors, CRT was associated with superior OS compared with RT (HR: 0.53; 95%CI: 0.32-0.88, P = .01). On planned subgroup analyses, the 5 year OS of patients receiving CRT versus RT was improved for M0 patients (P < .0001), for patients receiving 36 Gy CSI (P = .0007), and for M0 patients receiving 36 Gy CSI (P = .0008).ConclusionsThis national database analysis demonstrates that combined postoperative chemotherapy and radiotherapy are associated with superior survival for adult MB compared with radiotherapy alone, even for M0 patients who receive high-dose CSI.
