The purpose of this study was to determine the change in overall survival (OS) for patients with de novo metastatic breast cancer (dnMBC) over time. We conducted a retrospective cohort study with 1981 patients with dnMBC diagnosed between January 1995 and December 2017 at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. OS was measured from the date of diagnosis of dnMBC. OS was compared between patients diagnosed during different time periods: 5-year periods and periods defined according to when key agents were approved for clinical use. The median OS was 3.4 years. The 5- and 10-year OS rates improved over time across both types of time periods. A subgroup analysis showed that OS improved significantly over time for the estrogen-receptor-positive/HER2-positive (ER+/HER2+) subtype, and exhibited a tendency toward improvement over time for the ER-negative (ER-)/HER2+ subtype. Median OS was significantly longer in patients with non-inflammatory breast cancer (P = .02) and in patients with ER+ disease, progesterone-receptor-positive disease, HER2+ disease, lower nuclear grade, locoregional therapy, and metastasis to a single organ (all P <.0001). These findings showed that OS at 5 and 10 years after diagnosis in patients with dnMBC improved over time. The significant improvements in OS over time for the ER+/HER2+ subtype and the tendency toward improvement for ER-/HER2+ subtype suggest the contribution of HER2-targeted therapy to survival.

Abstract   BACKGROUND: There are different data in the literature about the consequences of the development of metastasis as de novo or recurrent. In this study, we retrospectively investigated the clinicopathologic and prognostic characteristics of HER-2 positive de novo and recurrent metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The data of patients admitted to our clinic between 1996-2017 were analyzed retrospectively. The baseline features, treatments and survival data were recorded. Recurrent metastatic patients were further categorized as disease free interval (DFI) <24 months and DFI >24 months. The features of two groups were analyzed by pearson chi-square test. Survival were calculated by using the Kaplan-Meier method with the Long-rank test. p <0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS: A total of 44 patients were included to study in which 20 patients in de novo HER-2 positive MBC group and 24 patients in recurrent HER-2 MBC group. There was no difference in baseline features between groups. The median OS in de novo and recurrent MBC group was 60.3 months and 43.9 months respectively (HR: 0.87, 95% CI 0.37-2.05, p=0.76). OS was not different between de novo MBC group and patients with DFI <24 months and with DFI > 24 months (p=0.135). CONCLUSION: Our study showed that baseline features of patients with de novo HER-2 positive MBC and recurrent HER-2 positive MBC did not differ from each other. The presence of metastasis at the time of diagnosis or during follow-up did not change response to treatments.

Introduction. The standard of 1st line treatment of HER2+ metastatic breast cancer (mBC) is double blockade with trastuzumab and pertuzumab + taxane, 2nd line – Trastuzumab-emtazine. There are no standards for further treatment, as well as the optimal drug sequence. Expansion of the arsenal of therapeutic possibilities and the use of new combinations will certainly improve the results of treatment of this category of patients and increase their life expectancy.Aim. We sought to describe treatment patterns of  eribulin  and clinical outcomes of  metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer treated with eribulin  plus trastuzumab combination in  academic institutions and community oncology practices across the Russian Federation.Materials and methods. Patients treated with eribulin anytime between Jan, 2014 and Sep, 2019 with a diagnosis of MBC were identified by 23 providers from Russia. Providers retrospectively reviewed the health records and abstracted selected data points into an electronic case report form for each eligible patient.Results. 100 HER2-positive pts received eribulin in combination with trastuzumab. Median age was 55 (31–80) yrs and ECOG status 0–3. 67% pts had visceral metastases. Eribulin was administered as 1st and 2nd line to 23 (23%) pts, 3rd line to 31 (31%) pts, 4th line and later to 46 (46%). Median number of cycles was 5 (2–27). ORR was 12%, SD – 72%, SD > 6 months – 23%, PD – 16%. Clinical efficacy rate achieved in 35%. Median PFS was 5.07 months (95% CI 4.021–6.119). According to the ER-status the response to eribulin and trastuzumab was different. ORR was 18.8%, SD 72.9% in pts with ER-positive MBC (n = 48) and 5.8% and 71.2% respectively in ER-negative MBC (n = 52). Median PFS was 6.97 months (95% CI 3.924–10.016) in pts with ER-positive MBC and 4.67 months (95% CI 3.841–5.499) in ER-negative MBC (р = 0.3). The combination was well tolerated: dose reductions were required in 12% pts, withdrawal due to toxicity in 4% pts. The most common type of toxicity was hematological with neutropenia Gr III-IV in 14 (14%) pts. Peripheral neuropathy Gr III was observed in 5 (5%) pts. No cardiotoxicity was detected.Conclusions. This is the real-life data of clinical outcomes for patients receiving eribulin plus trastuzumab for HER2-positive MBC throughout the Russian Federation. Our experience with eribulin plus trastuzumab demonstrates that this combination may be a potential effective treatment option for HER-2 positive MBC patients.

Abstract Background: Pseudocirrhosis is an imaging finding of malignancies with liver metastasis with or without clinical liver cirrhosis–related complications such as portal hypertension (pHTN). This study compared the outcomes of metastatic breast cancer in patients with imaging-diagnosed pseudocirrhosis with or without pHTN. Methods: The medical records from patients with metastatic breast cancer and pseudocirrhosis between 2005 and 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. Clinical pHTN was defined based on endoscopic evidence of esophageal or gastric varices. Results: Among 106 patients with pseudocirrhosis, 33 (31%) had de novo stage IV disease, and 66 (62%) had hormone receptor (HR)–positive and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)–negative breast cancer. In total, 81 (76%) had initial metastases in both hepatic lobes, 91 (86%) had 4 or more liver metastases, and 32 (30%) had pHTN. The median overall survival (OS) was 5 and 13 months in patients with and without pHTN, respectively (p = .002). The median OS in patients with HER2-positive, HR-positive/HER2-negative, and triple-negative breast cancer was 16, 9, and 2 months, respectively (p = .001). Patients with pHTN generally had cirrhotic complications, including gastrointestinal bleeding, hyperbilirubinemia, hyperammonemia, and coagulopathy. Despite their challenging clinical conditions, 7 patients with pHTN had OS exceeding 1 year. In multivariate analysis, pHTN (p = .007) and triple-negative breast cancer (p = .013) were associated with poor OS. Conclusions: For patients with pseudocirrhosis, clinical pHTN was associated with liver cirrhosis–related complications and shorter median OS. A few patients with pHTN had prolonged OS with effective systemic treatment and aggressive supportive care.
