Herein, long-term follow-up survival outcomes have been investigated.Methods: TNBC or HER2-positive patients were randomized to receive 6 cycles of TC or TAC neoadjuvant treatment. The primary endpoint was pathological complete remission(p CR). Secondary endpoints included clinical response rate, event-free survival(EFS), and overall survival(OS).Results: A cohort of 96 patients consisted of 45 in TC and 51 in TAC arm. With a median follow-up period of53(range, 8-76) months, the patients achieving p CR post neoadjuvant chemotherapy exhibited superior EFS and OS than patients without p CR(P〈0.05). TAC treatment resulted in consistently better EFS than TC treatment:the estimated 5-year EFS was 66.1% vs. 29.8%(P=0.002). Moreover, the estimated 5-year OS was also in favor of TAC: 88.4% vs. 51.6%(P〈0.001). Multivariable analysis demonstrated that the treatment regimen was an independent prognostic factor, and patients treated with TAC had a superior EFS [hazard ratio(HR), 0.48; 95%confidence interval(95% CI), 0.26-0.90; P=0.021] and OS(HR, 0.20; 95% CI, 0.08-0.60; P=0.003).Conclusions: The updated long-term follow-up data demonstrated a sustained benefit in EFS and OS from anthracycline-containing TAC treatment, indicating that anthracycline is an essential and effective drug in this clinical trial.展开更多

This study investigated the relationship between routine clinicopathological indicators and ACR, and established a nomogram for predicting the probability of ACR in this subset of patients.Methods: Data for a total of 504 consecutive patients with intermediate RS from January 2014 to December2016 were retrospectively reviewed. A nomogram was constructed using a multivariate logistic regression model based on data from a training set(378 cases) and validated in an independent validation set(126 cases). A Youdenderived cut-off value was assigned to the nomogram for accuracy evaluation.Results: The multivariate logistic regression analysis identified that age, histological grade, tumor size, lymph node(LN) status, molecular subtype, and RS were independent predictors of ACR. A nomogram based on these predictors performed well. The P value of the Hosmer-Lemeshow test for the prediction model was 0.286. The area under the curve(AUC) values were 0.905 [95% confidence interval(95% CI): 0.876–0.934] and 0.883(95%CI: 0.824–0.942) in the training and validation sets, respectively. The accuracies of the nomogram for ACR were84.4% in the training set and 82.1% in the validation set.Conclusions: We developed a nomogram to predict the probability of ACR in breast cancer patients with intermediate RS. This model may aid the individual risk assessment and guide treatment decisions in clinical practice.展开更多

It is useful for identifying a status of proliferation, angiogenesis, and microvascular permeability, which may indicate early breast neoplasm formation. We retrospectively studied 2005 breast MRI images from Taiwan Residents women and classified them as either healthy or unhealthy according to BI-RADS categories. A subgroup of our study patients had received estrogen supplements, containing estrogen components or phytoestrogen, for at least 3 months. These patients’ images were also classified into the healthy and unhealthy groups. These two groups were compared and a significant difference was found between them (P < 0.002). Comparison of the MRI images also identified certain cases that demonstrated a typical estrogen/phytoestrogen effect or a withdrawal effect. The overuse of estrogen or phytoestrogen supplements can increase breast glandular tissue proliferation, as reflected on MRI images. Such proliferation may increase the patient’s risk of future breast cancer.展开更多

文摘目的:分析绝经前乳腺癌不同年龄段病人的临床病理特征及辅助治疗方案选择的差异。方法 :回顾性分析2009年1月至2016年12月就诊的571例绝经前乳腺癌病人,收集其临床病理资料以及辅助治疗方案。根据年龄,分为≤35岁(44例)、36~40岁(86例)和>40岁(441例)三组,比较组间临床病理特征以及治疗方案的差异。结果:分析显示,体质量指数(body mass index, BMI)以及HER2阳性率在三组间具有显著差异(P<0.05)。进一步两两比较发现,BMI>25的比例在≤35岁组显著低于其他两组;≤35岁组的HER2阳性率为20.45%,显著高于36~40岁组(12.79%)和>40岁组(15.87%)。在外科治疗方面,≤35岁组较多选择保乳手术(22.73%)和前哨淋巴结手术(43.18%);而在术后辅助化疗、放疗、内分泌治疗和靶向治疗方面,三组间无统计学差异。>40岁组卵巢功能抑制应用少于其他两组(P<0.001)。结论:在绝经前乳腺癌病人中,≤35岁组BMI较低,HER2阳性率较高,较多接受保乳手术和前哨淋巴结手术。
