Abstract
The current study was designed to assess the response to treatment, as well as clinical and survival outcomes, across different breast cancer subtypes in patients who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). From 2014 to 2019, a total of 139 patients who were histologically confirmed to have breast cancer, underwent NAC, and subsequently received breast and axillary surgery, were retrospectively included in this study. The rates of pathological complete response (pCR) to NAC were significantly higher for HER2-positive and triple-negative subtypes than for luminal A and HER2-negative subtypes (p = 0.013). Multivariate analysis for disease-free survival (DFS) revealed that tumour grade and the presence of pCR were independent prognostic factors. The presence or absence of a pCR with NAC was an independent prognostic indicator in the multivariate analysis for overall survival (OS). Lastly, achieving a pCR was independently predicted by 18F-FDG PET/CT findings, the HER2-positive subtype, and the triple-negative subtype. Despite the inherent methodological limitations, our findings underscore the significance of identifying predictive markers to tailor NAC plans, with the aim of improving survival outcomes.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Chemotherapy is an international multidisciplinary journal committed to the rapid publication of high quality, peer-reviewed, original research on all aspects of antimicrobial and antitumor chemotherapy.
The Journal publishes original experimental and clinical research articles, state-of-the-art reviews, brief communications and letters on all aspects of chemotherapy, providing coverage of the pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, and control of infection, as well as the use of anticancer and immunomodulating drugs.
Specific areas of focus include, but are not limited to:
· Antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, antiparasitic, and antiprotozoal agents;
· Anticancer classical and targeted chemotherapeutic agents, biological agents, hormonal drugs, immunomodulatory drugs, cell therapy and gene therapy;
· Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of antimicrobial and anticancer agents;
· The efficacy, safety and toxicology profiles of antimicrobial and anticancer drugs;
· Drug interactions in single or combined applications;
· Drug resistance to antimicrobial and anticancer drugs;
· Research and development of novel antimicrobial and anticancer drugs, including preclinical, translational and clinical research;
· Biomarkers of sensitivity and/or resistance for antimicrobial and anticancer drugs;
· Pharmacogenetics and pharmacogenomics;
· Precision medicine in infectious disease therapy and in cancer therapy;
· Pharmacoeconomics of antimicrobial and anticancer therapies and the implications to patients, health services, and the pharmaceutical industry.
