【1】核心亮点
1.在精确医学时代,需要进一步研究以确定人群的某些亚群是否最适合这种HF方法。
2.乳腺癌可分为内在分子亚型,这些亚型被证明对临床结果有预测作用,并对某些系统治疗有预测作用。
【2】思路与方法
1.确定2005年至2009年间被诊断为I-III期乳腺癌的患者。使用美国癌症分类联合委员会系统(luminal-A、luminal-B、HER2 、三阴性[TN])确定分子亚型。
2.多变量Cox回归模型用于确定LR的预测因子。采用Kaplan-Meier法测定无LR生存率(LRFS),并采用对数秩检验进行比较。
【3】摘要
The predictive benefit of breast cancer molecular subtypes for systemic therapy approaches has been well established; yet, there is a paucity of data regarding their use as a predictor of radiation therapy fractionation sensitivity. The purpose of this study was to determine whether rates of local recurrence (LR) for patients treated with hypofractionated (HF) radiation therapy, in comparison to conventional fractionation, differ across breast cancer molecular subtypes in a large, prospectively collected cohort treated with modern systemic therapy.A total of 5868 cases were identified with a median follow-up of 10.8 years. Patients with luminal-A subtype composed 45% of the cohort (n = 2628), compared with 30% luminal-B (n = 1734), 15% HER2 (n = 903), and 10% TN (n = 603). A total of 76% (n = 4429) of patients were treated with HF. The 10-year LRFS was 97.1% (95% confidence interval [CI], 96.6-97.6) for the whole cohort. The 10-year LRFS based on molecular subtypes was 98.3% (95% CI, 97.6-98.7) luminal-A, 96.6% (95% CI, 95.5-97.4) luminal-B, 97.0% (95% CI, 95.5-98.0) HER2 , and 93.5% (95% CI, 91.1-95.3) TN (P < .001). There was no difference in the 10-year LRFS between patients treated with HF versus conventional fractionation among those with luminal-A (98.2% vs 98.4%; P = .42), luminal-B (96.6% vs 96.8%; P = .90), HER2 (97.5% vs 95.8%; P = .12), or TN (93.9% vs 92.2%; P = .47). There was no significant interaction between subtype and fractionation regimen.
乳腺癌分子亚型对系统治疗方法的预测益处已得到充分证实;然而,关于它们作为放射治疗分级敏感性的预测指标的数据却很少。本研究的目的是确定接受低分割(HF)放射治疗的患者的局部复发率(LR)是否与常规分割相比,在大范围内,不同乳腺癌分子亚型的局部复发率(LR)不同,前瞻性收集接受现代系统治疗的队列研究。共确定5868例患者,平均随访10.8年。luminal-A亚型患者占队列的45%(n=2628),而luminal-B亚型患者占30%(n=1734),HER2 亚型患者占15%(n=903),TN亚型患者占10%(n=603)。共有76%(n=4429)的患者接受了HF治疗。整个队列的10年LRF为97.1%(95%置信区间[CI],96.6-97.6)。基于分子亚型的10年LRF为98.3%(95%CI,97.6-98.7)luminal-A、96.6%(95%CI,95.5-97.4)luminal-B、97.0%(95%CI,95.5-98.0)HER2 和93.5%(95%CI,91.1-95.3)TN(P<0.001)。在使用luminal-A的患者中,使用HF治疗的患者与使用常规分割治疗的患者之间的10年LRF没有差异(98.2%与98.4%;P=0.42),luminal-B(96.6%对96.8%;HER2 (97.5%对95.8%;P=0.12),或TN(93.9%对92.2%;P=0.47)。亚型和分割方案之间没有明显的交互作用。

【5】不足
1.由于该分析的观察性质,我们对未知混杂因素的解释能力有限。
2.他们的研究没有足够的力量来确定亚组之间的差异。
【6】启发
1.在接受现代全身治疗的浸润性乳腺癌患者群体中,与CF相比,HF患者的LR率在乳腺癌分子亚型中没有差异。
2.该结果支持在所有乳腺癌分子亚型中常规使用HF方案。
