超低风险乳腺癌不化疗是否安全?

 SIBCS 2022-01-24

  自从乳腺癌筛查普及以来,早期乳腺癌发现率有所增加,这就产生了一定程度的过度诊断过度治疗。了解肿瘤基因特征可能有助于临床医师确定长期预后良好的亚组,并有助于避免早期乳腺癌的过度治疗。对于激素受体阳性HER2阴性早期乳腺癌术后患者,如果70基因(MammaPrint)评分超低风险,那么化疗意义不大,仅予内分泌治疗即可,有助于避免过度治疗,不过既往研究样本量较小

  2022年1月21日,美国临床肿瘤学会《临床肿瘤学杂志》在线发表荷兰癌症研究院、欧洲癌症研究与治疗组织、比利时布鲁塞尔自由大学朱尔博代研究所、葡萄牙尚帕利莫基金会临床中心、美国旧金山加利福尼亚大学海伦迪勒家族综合癌症中心MINDACT研究长期随访分层分析结果,对目前为止最大样本队列评估了超低风险患者的临床结局。

MINDACT (Microarray In Node-Negative and 1 to 3 Positive Lymph Node Disease May Avoid Chemotherapy): A Prospective, Randomized Study Comparing the 70-Gene Signature With the Common Clinical-Pathological Criteria in Selecting Patients for Adjuvant Chemotherapy in Breast Cancer With 0 to 3 Positive Nodes (NCT00433589, EudraCT 2005-002625-31, EORTC-10041, BIG-3-04)

  作者对2007年2月8日至2011年7月11日入组MINDACT研究的6693例激素受体阳性HER2阴性早期乳腺癌患者进行分析,其中1000例患者(15%)70基因评分为超低风险年龄>50岁占67%,肿瘤≤2厘米占81%,淋巴结阴性占80%,1或2级肿瘤占96%,雌激素受体阳性占99%。根据生存曲线分析和多因素比例风险回归风险比及其95%置信区间,按70基因评分结果(高、低和超低)对患者进行分层,对无远处转移生存乳腺癌相关生存进行评定。

  结果,中位随访8.7年,84%的患者接受了术后全身辅助治疗(69%为内分泌治疗,14%为内分泌治疗+化疗,1%为其他),16%的患者未接受术后全身辅助治疗

  1000例超低风险患者与3295例低风险患者相比:

  • 8年无远处转移生存率高2.5%:97.0%比94.5%(95%置信区间:95.8~98.1、93.6~95.3;校正后风险比:0.65,95%置信区间:0.45~0.94)

  • 8年乳腺癌相关生存率高1.4%:99.6%比98.2%(95%置信区间:99.1~100、97.7~98.7)

全部患者按21基因风险比较

临床低风险患者按21基因风险比较

21基因超低风险患者按临床风险高低比较

21基因超低风险患者按术后不同辅助治疗比较

  因此,该研究分层分析结果表明,70基因评分超低风险患者预后最佳,无论临床风险如何,与低风险患者相比,发生远处转移或乳腺癌相关死亡的风险显著较低,8年乳腺癌相关生存率高于99%,极少数患者发生远处转移,8年无远处转移生存率达97%,这些患者可以成为进一步降级治疗的候选者,以避免过度治疗及其副作用风险。70基因评分超低风险可用于将来调查内分泌治疗降级的研究,以更好地平衡获益和危害。

  不过,激素受体阳性早期乳腺癌患者大多数复发于术后至少10年甚至20年,该研究样本量虽然最大,但是中位随访8.7年可能有些早。

PURPOSE: Patients with 70-gene signature ultralow-risk breast cancers have shown excellent survival in historic cohorts, including randomized trials. The ultralow-risk subgroup was characterized to help avoid overtreatment. We evaluated outcomes of ultralow-risk patients in the largest cohort to date.

METHODS: Of the 6,693 patients enrolled in the EORTC-10041/BIG-3-04 randomized phase III MINDACT trial, profiling revealed an ultralow-risk 70-gene signature in 1,000 patients (15%). Distant metastasis-free interval (DMFI) and breast cancer-specific survival (BCSS) were assessed in patients stratified by 70-gene signature result (high, low, and ultralow) by Kaplan-Meier analysis and hazard ratios with 95% CI from Cox regression.

RESULTS: Median follow-up was 8.7 years. Of the ultralow-risk patients (n = 1,000), 67% were > 50 years, 81% had tumors ≤ 2 cm, 80% were lymph node-negative, 96% had grade 1 or 2 tumors, and 99% were estrogen receptor (ER)-positive. Systemic therapy was received by 84% of patients (69% endocrine therapy, 14% endocrine therapy plus chemotherapy, 1% other) and 16% received no adjuvant systemic treatment. The 8-year DMFI for ultralow-risk patients was 97.0% (95% CI, 95.8 to 98.1), which was 2.5% higher than for patients with low-risk tumors (n = 3,295, 94.5% [95% CI, 93.6 to 95.3]). The hazard ratio for DMFI was 0.65 (95% CI, 0.45 to 0.94) for ultralow versus low risk, after adjusting for clinical-pathologic and treatment characteristics. The 8-year BCSS for ultralow-risk patients was 99.6% (95% CI, 99.1 to 100).

CONCLUSION: Patients with an ultralow-risk 70-gene signature have the best prognosis, distinctive from low risk, with 8-year BCSS above 99%, and very few patients developed distant metastases with an 8-year DMFI rate of 97%. These patients could be candidates for further de-escalation of treatment, to avoid overtreatment and the risk of side effects.

KEY OBJECTIVE: There has been an increase in the incidence of early-stage breast cancers since the introduction of population-based screening, which in part represents overdiagnosis. Knowledge of the tumor biology may help to identify a subgroup with an excellent long-term prognosis and could aid in avoiding overtreatment in early-stage breast cancer. Patients with 70-gene signature ultralow-risk tumors have excellent long-term survival in historic cohorts. We assessed survival outcomes of patients with an ultralow-risk 70-gene signature in the prospective MINDACT trial, the largest cohort to date.

KNOWLEDGE GENERATED: 70-gene signature ultralow-risk patients had an 8-year breast cancer-specific survival of 99%, regardless of clinical risk, and their risk of distant metastasis or breast cancer-related death is significantly lower compared to patients with low-risk tumors.

RELEVANCE: The 70-gene signature ultralow risk could be used in future trials investigating the de-escalation of endocrine therapy to better balance benefits and harms.
