Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the association of sociodemographic, clinical, and pathological factors with response and survival in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT).
Methods: Clinical-pathological and sociodemographic data were obtained from medical records of 235 eligible women with TNBC diagnosed between 2010 and 2014 undergoing NACT and surgery at the Brazilian National Cancer Institute. They have been assessed for pathological complete response (pCR), event-free survival (EFS), and overall survival (OS). Both univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed.
Results: The median follow-up was 64.3 months. Most patients had advanced clinical stage (III: 85.1%; cT3/T4: 86.4%; cN1-3: 74.4%) and high-grade tumors (72.1%). Clinical staging (III vs II, adjusted hazard ratio [HR] = 2.95, P = .012) significantly influenced the pCR rate. Alcohol intake negatively influenced EFS (adjusted HR = 1.67, P = .006) and OS (adjusted HR = 1.89, P = .005). Women with pCR showed better EFS (crude HR = 0.15, P < .001) and OS (crude HR = 0.12, P < .001) compared with non-pCR. The ypT (<0.001) and ypN (<0.001) gradually influenced survival outcomes.
Conclusion: Clinical stage III were associated with lower response rate and worse survival. Alcohol intake, pCR, and burden of post-NACT residual disease have shown considerable influence on survival outcomes.
期刊介绍:
Breast Cancer: Basic and Clinical Research is an international, open access, peer-reviewed, journal which considers manuscripts on all areas of breast cancer research and treatment. We welcome original research, short notes, case studies and review articles related to breast cancer-related research. Specific areas of interest include, but are not limited to, breast cancer sub types, pathobiology, metastasis, genetics and epigenetics, mammary gland biology, breast cancer models, prevention, detection, therapy and clinical interventions, and epidemiology and population genetics.
