Radiotherapy following modified radical mastectomy significantly improves locoregional control in patients with Rec-/HER-2+ locally advanced breast cancer
AbstractObjective To evaluate the risk of locoregional recurrence (LRR) and role of radiotherapy for patients with estrogen receptor-negative and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-overexpressed (Rec-/HER-2+) locally advanced breast cancer (LABC). Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 294 patients with Rec-/HER-2+ LABC from 1999 to 2011. All patients were treated with modified radical mastectomy (MRM). Of them, 239 patients received postmastectomy radiotherapy and 55 patients did not. Locoregional recurrence-free survival (LRRFS) and overall survival (OS), as well as LRR, were compared between the two groups. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate survival and recurrence rates, and the log-rank test was used for survival difference analysis and univariate prognostic analysis. Multivariate prognostic analysis was performed using the Cox regression model. Results The 5-year sample size was 162. Fifty-six patients developed LRR. The 5-year LRRFS and OS rates were 79.7% and 70.0%, respectively. Postmastectomy radiotherapy significantly increased the 5-year LRRFS rate (85.1% vs. 56.0%, P=0.000), but did not significantly increase the 5-year OS rate (71.3% vs. 64.2%, P=0.441). Multivariate analysis indicated that postmastectomy radiotherapy was the only independent prognostic factor associated with increased LRRFS (RR=0.303, 95%CI:0.166-0.554, P=0.000). Conclusions Patients with Rec-/HER-2+ LABC treated with MRM alone appear to be at a significantly increased risk of LRR compared with those treated with MRM followed by radiotherapy.
