Abstract:
Background: Previous studies suggest that chemotherapy + surgery + radiotherapy combined treatment has a high survival rate in patients with locally advanced or inflammatory breast cancer. Primary objective was evaluate response rate. Secondary objectives were time to progression, duration of response and toxicity profile of neoadjuvant chemotherapy T, A and X in patients with locally advanced or inflammatory breast cancer. Methods: Eligibility criteria: Patients with histologically confirmed locally advanced or inflammatory breast cancer, ECOG PS ≤ 2, age ≤ 75 years and LVEF > 50%. Prior systemic therapy, surgery or radiotherapy for breast cancer was not allowed. Patients with invasive bilateral breast cancer were not included. Treatment: T (30 mg/m2) iv day 1, 8 and 15, A (50 mg/m2) iv day 1 and X (1500 mg/m2 o. d.) days 1-14, in a 4 weeks course. This scheme was repeated up to 4 cycles followed by surgery. According to investigator criteria and response, the patients will receive a maximum of two more cycles. Radiotherapy and hormonal treatment are allowed depending on molecular markers. Expression of markers was performed by Inmunohistochemistry before chemotherapy. Results: twenty-eight patients were included in this interim analysis, with a median age of 48 years (35-68). The ECOG PS was 0 in 38.5% of patients. Hormonal receptor status was ER+ 44% and PR+ 33%. To date, a total of 95 cycles (median 4, range 2-4) were administered. Median relative dose intensity was 90% for T and A, and 92% for X. Thirteen patients are still undergoing treatment; of 21 evaluable patients for efficacy, 6 achieved CR and 15 PR resulting in an ORR of 100%. Surgery was performed in 20 patients: three (15.0%) of them achieved pathological CR. All patients were evaluable for toxicity. Grade III/IV toxicity per patient was neutropenia (75.0%), leucopenia (39.3%), febrile neutropenia (10.7%); diarrhea (14.3%), mucositis (10.7%), nauseas / vomiting (7.1%) and asthenia (3.6%). Conclusions: T, A and X every 28 days administered during 4 cycles as neoadjuvant chemotherapy in locally advanced or inflammatory breast cancer is an active regimen.
