Metastatic inflammatory breast cancer: survival outcomes and prognostic factors in the national, multicentric, and real-life French cohort (ESME).

ABSTRACT:

Background

Primary inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is a rare and aggressive entity whose prognosis has been improved by multimodal therapy. However, 5-year overall survival (OS) remains poor. Given its low incidence, the prognosis of IBC at metastatic stage is poorly described.

Materials and methods

This study aimed to compare OS calculated from the diagnosis of metastatic disease between IBC patients and non-IBC patients in the Epidemiological Strategy and Medical Economics database (N = 16 702 patients). Secondary objectives included progression-free survival (PFS) after first-line metastatic treatment, identification of prognostic factors for OS and PFS, and evolution of survival during the study period.

Results

From 2008 to 2014, 7465 patients with metastatic breast cancer and known clinical status of their primary tumor (T) were identified (582 IBC and 6883 non-IBC). Compared with metastatic non-IBC, metastatic IBC was associated with less hormone receptor-positive (44% versus 65.6%), more human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-positive (30% versus 18.6%), and more triple-negative (25.9% versus 15.8%) cases, more frequent de novo M1 stage (53.3% versus 27.7%; P < 0.001), and shorter median disease-free interval (2.02 years versus 4.9 years; P < 0.001). With a median follow-up of 50.2 months, median OS was 28.4 months [95% confidence interval (CI) 24.1-33.8 months] versus 37.2 months (95% CI 36.1-38.5 months) in metastatic IBC and non-IBC cases, respectively (P < 0.0001, log-rank test). By multivariate analysis, OS was significantly shorter in the metastatic IBC group compared with the metastatic non-IBC group [hazard ratio = 1.27 (95% CI 1.1-1.4); P = 0.0001]. Survival of metastatic IBC patients improved over the study period: median OS was 24 months (95% CI 20-31.9 months), 29 months (95% CI 21.7-39.9 months), and 36 months (95% CI 27.9-not estimable months) if diagnosis of metastatic disease was carried out until 2010, between 2011 and 2012, and from 2013, respectively (P = 0.003).

Conclusion

IBC is independently associated with adverse outcome when compared with non-IBC in the metastatic setting.

Project description:BackgroundAge-adjusted lymphoma incidence rates continue to rise in France since the early 80's, although rates have slowed since 2010 and vary across subtypes. Recent improvements in patient survival in major lymphoma subtypes at population level raise new questions about patient outcomes (i.e. quality of life, long-term sequelae). Epidemiological studies have investigated factors related to lymphoma risk, but few have addressed the extent to which socioeconomic status, social institutional context (i.e. healthcare system), social relationships, environmental context (exposures), individual behaviours (lifestyle) or genetic determinants influence lymphoma outcomes, especially in the general population. Moreover, the knowledge of the disease behaviour mainly obtained from clinical trials data is partly biased because of patient selection.MethodsThe REALYSA ("REal world dAta in LYmphoma and Survival in Adults") study is a real-life multicentric cohort set up in French areas covered by population-based cancer registries to study the prognostic value of epidemiological, clinical and biological factors with a prospective 9-year follow-up. We aim to include 6000 patients over 4 to 5 years. Adult patients without lymphoma history and newly diagnosed with one of the following 7 lymphoma subtypes (diffuse large B-cell, follicular, marginal zone, mantle cell, Burkitt, Hodgkin, mature T-cell) are invited to participate during a medical consultation with their hematologist. Exclusion criteria are: having already received anti-lymphoma treatment (except pre-phase) and having a documented HIV infection. Patients are treated according to the standard practice in their center. Clinical data, including treatment received, are extracted from patients' medical records. Patients' risk factors exposures and other epidemiological data are obtained at baseline by filling out a questionnaire during an interview led by a clinical research assistant. Biological samples are collected at baseline and during treatment. A virtual tumor biobank is constituted for baseline tumor samples. Follow-up data, both clinical and epidemiological, are collected every 6 months in the first 3 years and every year thereafter.DiscussionThis cohort constitutes an innovative platform for clinical, biological, epidemiological and socio-economic research projects and provides an opportunity to improve knowledge on factors associated to outcome of lymphoma patients in real life.Trial registration2018-A01332-53, ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03869619 .
