RESUMEN
INTRODUCTION/OBJECTIVES: To describe abemaciclib use in patients with hormone receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor-negative (HR+/HER2-) metastatic breast cancer (mBC) who participated in the Named Patient Use program (NPU) in Spain. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This retrospective study was based on medical record review of patients across 20 centers during 2018/2019. Patients were followed up until death, enrolment in a clinical trial, loss of follow-up or study end. Clinical and demographic characteristics, treatment patterns and abemaciclib effectiveness were analyzed; time-to-event and median times were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier (KM) method. RESULTS: The study included 69 female patients with mBC (mean age 60.4 ± 12.4 years), 86% of whom had an initial diagnosis of early BC and 20% had an ECOG ≥ 2. Median follow-up was 23 months (range 16-28). Metastases were frequently observed in bone (79%) and visceral tissue (65%), with 47% having metastases in > 2 sites. Median number of treatment lines before abemaciclib was 6 (range 1-10). Abemaciclib monotherapy was received by 72% of patients and combination therapy with endocrine therapy by 28% of patients; 54% of patients required dose adjustments, with a median time to first adjustment of 1.8 months. Abemaciclib was discontinued in 86% of patients after a median of 7.7 months (13.2 months for combination therapy and 7.0 months for monotherapy) mainly due to disease progression (69%). CONCLUSION: These results suggest that abemaciclib is effective, as monotherapy and in combination, for patients with heavily pretreated mBC, consistent with clinical trial results.

Angiosarcoma of the breast is a rare malignant tumour.It can be primary or secondary in womenwho have been treated of a ductal carcinoma of thebreast. There are some differences between boththem. We present two clinical cases secondary to radiotherapyand a review of the literature, discussingabout aetiology, incidence, diagnostic, treatmentand prognostic of this tumours
