Pathological complete response after preoperative systemic therapy and outcome: relevance of clinical and biologic baseline features

Breast Cancer Research and Treatment

Abstract

In order to evaluate the outcome of patients with breast cancer according to response after primary therapy and according to clinical and biologic baseline features, we identified patients who were treated with preoperative therapy and who underwent surgery at the European Institute of Oncology (IEO), Milan, Italy, between 1995 and 2006. The outcome of patients who achieved pathological complete remission (pCR) and patients with residual disease (RD) at final surgery was analyzed. Of the 687 patients treated with preoperative therapy, we identified 82 patients who achieved pCR (12%) and 605 patients with RD (88%). A statistically significant difference in disease-free survival (DFS), distant disease-free survival (DDFS), and overall survival (OS) was observed for patients with pCR compared with those who had RD (5 year DFS 73% vs. 59% P = 0.029; 5 year DDFS 81% vs. 72% P = 0.085; 5 year OS 88% vs. 77% P = 0.033). At the multivariate analysis, for patients achieving pCR, large tumor size (> 5 cm) correlated with worse DFS (HR 3.18; 95% CI 1.34-7.51); clinical nodal involvement was associated with poorer DFS and DDFS (HR 6.94; 95% CI 1.62-29.73 and HR 9.87 95% CI 1.29-75.53, respectively). pCR after preoperative systemic therapy ...Continue Reading

Breast Cancer: Chemo-Resistance

Some cancers are difficult to treat and aggressive including the "triple-negative" breast cancer. This type of cancer is chemoresistant even before chemotherapy begins. Here are the latest discoveries chemo-resistance in breast cancer.
