ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The breast-conserving surgery (BCS) rate for patients with breast cancer in China is much lower than that in Europe and the United States. This study aimed to identify factors affecting the choice of surgical modality following neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in patients with breast cancer in northwest China. PATIENTS ANDMETHODS:
Patients who underwent mastectomy or BCS after NAC for invasive breast cancer from January 2013 to December 2017 were enrolled in the study. Single-factor and multivariate logistic regression analyses were applied to identify the association between the type of surgery and demographic characteristics or clinical pathological factors of patients.RESULTS:
This study enrolled 916 patients. Among them, 191 patients (20.9%) and 725 patients (79.1%) underwent BCS and mastectomy, respectively. Patients with high education were less likely to undergo mastectomy compared with patients with less education (P < .001; odds ratio [OR] = 0.50; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.35-0.71). Patients with cT3 tumors were nearly six times more likely to undergo mastectomy compared with patients with cT1 tumors (P = .003; OR = 5.74; 95% CI, 2.07-15.97). Moreover, patients older than 50 years of age (P < .001; OR = 2.84; 95% CI, = 1.93-4.16) were more likely to be offered mastectomy. No association between the type of surgery and pathological complete response (P = .351) was observed.CONCLUSION:
Pretreatment clinical disease size remains a strong predictor of surgical management, whereas response to NAC appeared to play no role in the surgical decision, suggesting that the potential surgical benefits of NAC may be still under-recogonized in northwest China.Palavras-chave
