Abstract
Objective: We aim to evaluate the indication and use of genomic signatures in breast cancer patients and outcomes who in patients undergoing adjuvant chemotherapy or not.
Methods: This is a retrospective study of breast cancer patients managed in a private oncology clinic in Teresina, from November 2014 to February 2021. All patients with an indication of genomic signature were included. Clinical and pathological variables, use of genomic signatures, treatment and follow-up were obtained. The nomogram to predict Oncotype DX results (University of Tennessee Medical Center) was also calculated. Clinical risk calculation was based on MINDACT, using the modified version of Adjuvant Online. The genetic signatures performed were: the Oncotype, MammaPrint and EndoPredict.
Results: Fifty (50) female patients were included in the study. The mean age of the participants was 57.1 years. Among the patients receiving a genomic signature (26-52.0%), there was a change in treatment in 8 (30.7%) cases. Chemotherapy was indicated in four patients, It was contraindicated in another four patients. Treatment changed in 30.7% of the tested patients. Chemotherapy was indicated for those who would not receive it before. It was contraindicated in patients who would previously undergo chemotherapy.
期刊介绍:
The recent expansion of work in the field of breast cancer inevitably will hasten discoveries that will have impact on patient outcome. The breadth of this research that spans basic science, clinical medicine, epidemiology, and public policy poses difficulties for investigators. Not only is it necessary to be facile in comprehending ideas from many disciplines, but also important to understand the public implications of these discoveries. Breast Disease publishes review issues devoted to an in-depth analysis of the scientific and public implications of recent research on a specific problem in breast cancer. Thus, the reviews will not only discuss recent discoveries but will also reflect on their impact in breast cancer research or clinical management.
