Abstract
Purpose: Chemotherapy in combination with trastuzumab is the standard neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapy for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer (BC). Assessing the regimens administered to patients with HER2-positive BC in the real world is lacking. We evaluated neoadjuvant and adjuvant regimen patterns among HER2-positive BC patients (2007 to 2021) identified in a health insurance claims database.
Methods: Female BC patients ≥ 18 years who received chemotherapy, surgery, and trastuzumab were chosen from Optum's de-identified Clinformatics® Data Mart database. Summary statistics, Joinpoint models, Kaplan-Meier survival curves, and Cox regression models were used to analyze the data.
Results: We identified 6474 patients (median age 60 years), 71.7% were White, 10.9% were Black, 8.6% were Hispanic, 4.1% were Asian, and 4.7% had unknown race/ethnicity. About 33.8% received neoadjuvant therapy and neoadjuvant therapy use increased with an annual percent change of 10.24% (P < .001). The three most common regimens were adjuvant docetaxel, carboplatin, and trastuzumab (TCH; 29.0%); adjuvant paclitaxel and trastuzumab (17.7%); and neoadjuvant TCH with pertuzumab followed by adjuvant trastuzumab (17.7%). The 5-year overall survival (OS) was 96% (95% CI, 95-96%). Patients had an increased risk of death if they were ≥ 59 years at diagnosis, had a health maintenance organization or other insurance plan, had dual Medicare/Medicaid eligibility, had a mastectomy, did not receive 18 cycles of trastuzumab, or received regimens not recommended by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network.
Conclusion: Treatment regimen patterns for HER2-positive BC evolved in correspondence with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's approval of new drugs for this cancer and National Comprehensive Cancer Network treatment guidelines.
期刊介绍:
Breast Cancer Research and Treatment provides the surgeon, radiotherapist, medical oncologist, endocrinologist, epidemiologist, immunologist or cell biologist investigating problems in breast cancer a single forum for communication. The journal creates a "market place" for breast cancer topics which cuts across all the usual lines of disciplines, providing a site for presenting pertinent investigations, and for discussing critical questions relevant to the entire field. It seeks to develop a new focus and new perspectives for all those concerned with breast cancer.
