Abstract
Background: Current guidelines define primary and secondary endocrine resistance according to the periods of adjuvant endocrine therapy (adj-ET); however, the relationship between adj-ET period and endocrine resistance remains unclear.
Objective: We examined progression-free survival (PFS) after primary ET for recurrent hormone receptor-positive/HER2-negative breast cancer, and evaluated the relationship between endocrine resistance and the periods of adj-ET.
Methods: We assessed PFS among 183 patients who received ET as primary treatment for the first recurrence, according to the period of adj-ET (adj-ET < 1 year, 1-2 years, ≥2 years, and completion).
Results: Patients who relapsed during the first year of adj-ET had the significantly shortest PFS. PFS did not significantly differ between patients who relapsed at 1-2 years of adj-ET and patients who relapsed while on adj-ET but after the first 2 years.
Conclusions: Relapse at 1-2 years after adj-ET initiation might be better classified as secondary endocrine resistance rather than primary endocrine resistance.
期刊介绍:
The recent expansion of work in the field of breast cancer inevitably will hasten discoveries that will have impact on patient outcome. The breadth of this research that spans basic science, clinical medicine, epidemiology, and public policy poses difficulties for investigators. Not only is it necessary to be facile in comprehending ideas from many disciplines, but also important to understand the public implications of these discoveries. Breast Disease publishes review issues devoted to an in-depth analysis of the scientific and public implications of recent research on a specific problem in breast cancer. Thus, the reviews will not only discuss recent discoveries but will also reflect on their impact in breast cancer research or clinical management.
