ABSTRACT
Purpose:
To investigate the prognostic factors for breast cancer patients with liver involvement.Methods:
114 breast cancer patients with liver metastases,who were hospitalized in Fudan University Cancer Hospital between January,1996 and December,2003,were included in this study.Their survival data were analyzed.Results:
The response rates with first-,second-,third-,fourth-line chemotherapy were 31.9%,27.8%,16.7% and 0%,respectively.Univariate analyses indicated that patients with impaired liver function and patients with a short interval between surgery and the first recurrence or metastasis had a poor prognosis.Multivariate analyses suggested that the presence of liver function impairment was an independent prognostic factor for overall survival.Conclusions:
The response rates of chemotherapy drop with number of lines of chemotherapy.Breast cancer patients with liver involvement and impaired liver function have a poor prognosis.
