Mapping the current landscape of locoregional therapy de-escalation trials in early breast cancer: a systematic review.
A systematic review undertaken to map the current landscape of locoregional de-escalation trials to inform future research. Online databases and trial registries were searched to identify ongoing, recently completed or published studies de-escalating surgery or radiotherapy in patients with early breast cancer. 97 trials evaluated de-escalation of surgery or radiotherapy in up to 94,866 participants. Surgery studies more commonly evaluated treatment omission/reduction after neoadjuvant systemic therapy (NST) and de-escalation of nodal treatment. Radiotherapy studies were more frequently biomarker stratified. Patients were rarely involved in study design. Research questions focused on response-adjusted treatment after NST and omission/reduction of locoregional therapy in patients with low- or intermediate-risk disease. Significant duplication was identified with multiple studies addressing similar questions. This systematic review demonstrates that the current de-escalation portfolio is inefficient, lacks patient focus and needs improvement. An internationally collaborative approach using innovative study designs and patient partnership will be essential to address this.
期刊介绍:
npj Breast Cancer publishes original research articles, reviews, brief correspondence, meeting reports, editorial summaries and hypothesis generating observations which could be unexplained or preliminary findings from experiments, novel ideas, or the framing of new questions that need to be solved. Featured topics of the journal include imaging, immunotherapy, molecular classification of disease, mechanism-based therapies largely targeting signal transduction pathways, carcinogenesis including hereditary susceptibility and molecular epidemiology, survivorship issues including long-term toxicities of treatment and secondary neoplasm occurrence, the biophysics of cancer, mechanisms of metastasis and their perturbation, and studies of the tumor microenvironment.
