BackgroundMetastatic breast cancer (MBC) is a highly heterogeneous disease and bone is one of the most common metastatic sites. This retrospective study was conducted to investigate the clinical features, prognostic factors and benefits of surgery of breast cancer patients with initial bone metastases.MethodsFrom 2010 to 2015, 6,860 breast cancer patients diagnosed with initial bone metastasis were analyzed from Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Univariate and Multivariable analysis were used to identify prognostic factors. A nomogram was performed based on the factors selected from cox regression result. Survival curves were plotted according to different subtypes, metastatic burdens and risk groups differentiated by nomogram.ResultsHormone receptor (HR) positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) positive patients showed the best outcome compared to other subtypes. Patients of younger age (<60 years old), white race, lower grade, lower T stage (<=T2), not combining visceral metastasis tended to have better outcome. About 37% (2,249) patients received surgery of primary tumor. Patients of all subtypes could benefit from surgery. Patients of bone-only metastases (BOM), bone and liver metastases, bone and lung metastases also showed superior survival time if surgery was performed. However, patients of bone and brain metastasis could not benefit from surgery (p = 0.05). The C-index of nomogram was 0.66. Cutoff values of nomogram point were identified as 87 and 157 points, which divided all patients into low-, intermediate- and high-risk groups. Patients of all groups showed better overall survival when receiving surgery.ConclusionOur study has provided population-based prognostic analysis in patients with initial bone metastatic breast cancer and constructed a predicting nomogram with good accuracy. The finding of potential benefit of surgery to overall survival will cast some lights on the treatment tactics of this group of patients.

10755 Background: To evaluate the effectiveness and tolerability of long -term treatment with capecitabine in metastatic breast cancer patients. Capecitabine (C) has been administered offering clinical benefit to women with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) (ORR: 42%). The aim of this trial was to evaluate the efficacy and tolerance of capecitbine in long-term treatment, administered as first, second and third line treatment in MBC. Methods: Patients ≥ 18 years old with MBC, ECOG performance status (PS) ≤2, HER-2 neu negative, non-chemotherapy naive were included in this prospective, multicentre, non-randomized. To date, twenty-two ambulatory patients were evaluable for toxicity and response. Median age 59.2 years (37–81). All of patients had previously received adjuvant treatment. Hormonal therapy were allowed as clinically required. They received three weekly cycles of oral capecitabine 1000–1250 mg/m2 twice daily, days 1–14, followed one week rest until progression or relapse. Results: The overall response rate (ORR) is including PR, CR, and EE 78%. The median treatment duration was 14 months, median range (3–32). Median progression-free and overall survival have not yet been reached. The most common grade ½ (NCIC CTC) treatment related adverse events were /23, hand foot syndrome 4/23, diarrea 1/23. Conclusions: These preliminary data confirm that the treatment with capecitabine (C) is an effective and well tolerated regiment in metastatic breast cancer patients.
