Project description:PurposeThe efficacy of primary site surgery in patients with de novo stage IV breast cancer remains controversial. However, few real-world studies have evaluated the benefits of local surgery on the primary site of stage IV breast cancer in China. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of local surgery in the de novo stage IV breast cancer.Materials and methodsWomen with metastatic breast cancer at diagnosis were identified from Guangxi medical university cancer hospital (China) database from 2009 to 2017. The clinical and tumor features, surgical treatment, and survival rates were compared between surgical and non-surgical patients.ResultsTwo hundred forty-three patients were included, of whom 125 underwent primary site surgery. Patients who underwent surgery were more often had small primary tumors, fewer lymph node metastases, and had less visceral involvement. Patients in the surgery group had dramatically longer OS (median 35 vs 22 months, log-rank P=0.006). Stratified survival analysis showed that patients with bone metastasis alone or ≤3 metastasis benefit from surgery, while patients with visceral metastasis did not benefit from surgery. In multivariate analysis, surgical treatment, estrogen receptor status, progesterone receptor status and visceral metastases remained independent factors for survival.ConclusionSurgical resection of the primary site can improve survival in selected de novo stage IV breast cancer patients.

Project description:BackgroundResection of the primary tumor is recommended for symptom relief in de novo stage IV breast cancer. We explored whether local surgery could provide a survival benefit in these patients and attempted to characterize the population that could benefit from surgery.MethodsMetastatic Breast cancer patients (N = 313) with intact primary tumor between January 2006 and April 2013 were separated into two groups according to whether or not they had undergone surgery. The difference in characteristics between the two groups was analyzed using chi-square test, Fisher's exact test and Mann-Whitney test. Univariable and multivariable Cox regression and stratified survival analysis were used to assess the effect of surgery on survival.ResultsOf the 313 patients, 188 (60.1%) underwent local surgery. Patients with local surgery had a 47% reduction in mortality risk vs. those with no surgery (median survival 78 months vs. 37 months; HR = 0.53; 95% CI, 0.36-0.78) after adjustment for clinical and tumor characteristics. Stratified survival analysis showed that patients with bone metastasis alone (and primary tumor ≤5 cm), soft tissue metastasis, or ≤ 3 metastasis sites benefit from surgery.ConclusionSurgical resection of the primary tumor can improve survival in selected de novo stage IV breast cancer patients.

Project description:It is estimated that approximately 154000 women in the United States have stage IV breast cancer (BC). A subset of this group has metastatic disease at presentation, known as de novo stage IV disease. De novo stage IV BC accounts for approximately 6% of all BC diagnoses in the United States. Traditionally, stage IV BC patients are treated with primary systemic therapy with a palliative intent reserving possible locoregional treatment (LRT) as last resort. There has been a lot of interest in the role of LRT in de novo stage IV BC for the past decade with mixed conclusions. Although this review is not intended to be a comprehensive overview of all literature regarding this topic to date, we will review the recent findings in literature focusing on the studies with larger sample sizes to investigate the role of LRT in de novo stage IV BC.

Project description:Stage IV breast cancer is metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Because real-world data are lacking in China, our research attempts to explore the effect of locoregional surgery on the prognosis of patients with MBC. A total of 987 patients from 10 hospitals and 2 databases in East China (2004-2018) were included in this study. Overall, 47% of patients underwent locoregional surgery, and 53% did not. Surgeons tended to perform surgery on patients with small tumours (T1/T2), positive hormone receptor (HR) markers, and metastatic sites confined to a single organ and non-visceral sites (bone only/others) (each p?<?0.05). Kaplan-Meier survival curves and the log-rank test showed that median survival was longer for patients who had locoregional surgery than for those who did not (45.00 vs. 28.00 months; p?<?0.001). Patients who underwent surgery after systemic treatment had better survival than those who underwent surgery immediately (p?<?0.001). In most subgroups, overall survival (OS) was significantly longer in the surgery group than in the no-surgery group (each p?<?0.05), except for brain metastases and triple negative breast cancer. Therefore, we concluded that locoregional surgery for the primary tumour in MBC patients was associated with a marked reduction in risk of dying except for patients with brain metastases or triple-negative subtype.

Project description:The survival benefit from radiotherapy in stage IV breast cancer has not been fully evaluated. We investigated the survival benefit of radiotherapy after surgery in de novo stage IV breast cancer. Using a population-based database (the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database 18, 2010-2013), patients diagnosed with de novo stage IV breast cancer were divided into those undergoing surgery alone (no-radiotherapy group) and those undergoing surgery followed by radiotherapy (radiotherapy group). After propensity-score matching (PSM), the cancer-specific survival (CSS) rates were estimated. Multivariate analysis was performed to evaluate the prognostic value of radiotherapy on survival. After PSM, the 3-year CSS rates in the no-radiotherapy (n = 882) and radiotherapy (n = 882) groups were 57.1% and 70.9% (P < 0.001), respectively. On multivariate analysis, radiotherapy after surgery was a significant prognosticator (hazard ratio [HR] 0.572; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.472-0.693, P < 0.001). Regardless of surgery type and lymph node involvement, the radiotherapy group showed significantly higher CSS rates. For patients who survived six months or more, radiotherapy after surgery demonstrated favorable prognosis compared to surgery alone (HR 0.593; 95% CI 0.479-0.733, P < 0.001). In conclusion, radiotherapy after surgery increased CSS rates in de novo stage IV breast cancer compared to surgery alone.

Project description:This study aimed to investigate the prognostic value of biological factors, including histological grade, estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) status in de novo stage IV breast cancer. Based on eligibility, patient data deposited between 2010 and 2014 were collected from the surveillance, epidemiology, and end results database. The receiver operating characteristics curve, Kaplan-Meier analysis, and Cox proportional hazard analysis were used for analysis. We included 8725 patients with a median 3-year breast cancer-specific survival (BCSS) of 52.6%. Higher histologic grade, HER2-negative, ER-negative, and PR-negative disease were significantly associated with lower BCSS in the multivariate prognostic analysis. A risk score staging system separated patients into four risk groups. The risk score was assigned according to a point system: 1 point for grade 3, 1 point if hormone receptor-negative, and 1 point if HER2-negative. The 3-year BCSS was 76.3%, 64.5%, 48.5%, and 23.7% in patients with 0, 1, 2, and 3 points, respectively, with a median BCSS of 72, 52, 35, and 16 months, respectively (P < 0.001). The multivariate prognostic analysis showed that the risk score staging system was an independent prognostic factor associated with BCSS. Patients with a higher risk score had a lower BCSS. Sensitivity analyses replicated similar findings after stratification according to tumor stage, nodal stage, the sites of distant metastasis, and the number of distant metastasis. In conclusion, our risk score staging system shows promise for the prognostic stratification of de novo stage IV breast cancer.

Project description:BackgroundIt was unknown whether surgery for primary tumor would affect the occurrence of local symptoms caused by tumor progression in patients with de novo stage IV breast cancer (BC). Our work attempted to probe the effect of local resection on controlling local symptoms and improving the quality of life in de novo stage IV BC patients.MethodsOur study included patients presenting with de novo stage IV BC at the Cancer Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from January 2008 to December 2014. In this study, we defined a new term called "local progress/recurrence of symptoms" (LPRS) to refer to the local problems caused by tumor progression/recurrence. All the patients were grouped into surgery and non-surgery groups. The characteristics of the two groups were analyzed by Chi square and Fisher's test. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression models were designed to evaluate independent prognostic factors.ResultsThis study contained 177 patients. The follow-up deadline was April 1, 2019. The median follow-up time was 33 months (range 1-135 months). In included patients, 77 (43.5%) underwent surgery for primary tumors. Primary tumor surgery could reduce the occurrence of LPRS (relative risk/risk ratio (RR = 0.440; 95% CI 0.227-0.852; p = 0.015)) and patients without LPRS had longer OS (45 months vs 29 months, p < 0.001). In addition, patients who had only one symptom had better OS than those who had two or three symptoms (p = 0.0175).ConclusionsThe quality of life in patients with de novo stage IV breast cancer can be improved by reducing the incidence of local symptoms through primary tumor surgery.

Project description:BackgroundBrain metastasis (BM) is a very serious event in patients with breast cancer. The aim of this study was to establish a nomogram to predict the risk of BM in patients with de novo stage IV breast cancer.MethodsWe gathered female patients diagnosed with de novo stage IV breast cancer between 2010 and 2015 from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. After randomly allocating the patients to the training set and verification set, we used univariate and multivariate logistic regression to analyze the relationship between BM and clinicopathological features. Finally, we developed a nomogram which was validated by the analysis of calibration curve and receiver operating characteristic curve.ResultsOf 7,154 patients with de novo stage IV breast cancer, 422 developed BM. Age, tumor size, subtype, and the degree of lung involvement were significantly correlated with BM. The nomogram had discriminatory ability with an area under curve (AUC) of 0.640 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.607 to 0.673] in the training set, and 0.644 (95% CI: 0.595 to 0.693) in the validation set.ConclusionsOur study developed a nomogram to predict BM for de novo stage IV breast cancer, thus helping clinicians to identify patients at high-risk of BM and implement early preventive interventions to improve their prognoses.

Project description:The treatments provided to and survival of patients with recurrent vs de novo stage IV advanced breast, lung, and colorectal cancer may differ but have not been well studied. Using population-based data from the Cancer Research Network for 4510 patients with advanced breast, lung, or colorectal cancer, we matched recurrent/de novo patients on demographic factors. We found longer survival for recurrent vs de novo lung cancer (182 matched pairs); no significant difference for colorectal cancer (332 matched pairs); and shorter survival for recurrent vs de novo breast cancer (219 matched pairs). Compared with recurrent cases, chemotherapy use and radiation therapy use were more common among de novo cases. Differences in treatment and survival between recurrent and de novo advanced cancer patients could inform prognostic estimates and clinical trial design.

Project description:Background: The role of surgery and surgery type in de novo stage IV breast cancer (BC) is unclear. Methods: We carried out a retrospective cohort study that included the data of 4,108 individuals with de novo stage IV BC abstracted from SEER (Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results) data resource from 2010 to 2015. The patients were stratified into the non-surgery group, breast-conserving (BCS) surgery group, and mastectomy group. Inverse probability propensity score weighting (IPTW) was then used to balance clinicopathologic factors. Overall survival (OS), as well as the breast cancer-specific survival (BCSS), was assessed in the three groups using Kaplan-Meier analysis and COX model. Subgroups were stratified by metastatic sites for analysis. Results: Of the 4,108 patients, 48.5% received surgery and were stratified into the BCS group (574 cases) and mastectomy group (1,419 cases). After IPTW balance demographic and clinicopathologic factors, BCS and mastectomy groups had better OS (BCS group: HR, 0.61; 95% CI: 0.49-0.75; mastectomy group: HR, 0.7; 95% CI: 0.63-0.79) and BCSS (BCS group: HR, 0.6; 95% CI, 0.47-0.75; mastectomy group: HR, 0.71; 95% CI, 0.63-0.81) than the non-therapy group. Subgroup analyses revealed that BCS, rather than mastectomy, was linked to better OS (HR, 0.66; 95% CI: 0.48-0.91) and BCSS (HR, 0.63; 95% CI: 0.45-0.89) for patients with bone-only metastasis. For patients with viscera metastasis or bone+viscera metastases, BCS achieved similar OS (viscera metastasis: HR, 1.05; 95% CI: 0.74-1.48; bone+viscera metastases: HR, 1.01; 95% CI: 0.64-1.61) and BCSS (viscera metastasis: HR, 0.94; 95% CI: 0.64-1.38; bone+viscera metastases: HR, 1.06; 95% CI: 0.66-1.73) in contrast with mastectomy. Conclusions: Local surgery for patients with distant metastasis (DS) exhibited a remarkable survival advantage in contrast with non-operative management. BCS may have more survival benefits for patients with de novo stage IV BC with bone-only metastasis than other metastatic sites. Decisions on de novo stage IV BC primary surgery should be tailored to the metastatic pattern.
