ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To compare the efficacy of taxane (T) based neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) with T and anthracycline (A) based NAC in different molecular types of breast cancer (BC).METHODS:
We retrospectively analyzed the date of NAC for BC from 20 hospitals in China from January 2010 to December 2020, 7870 cases were enrolled. The propensity score matching was used to equalize the baseline characteristics. Pathological complete response (pCR) rate, clinical response rate and breast-conserving rate were analyzed.RESULTS:
The efficacy of 2 regimens were similar in luminal A subtype. The breast-conserving rate was higher in T-based NAC in luminal B subtype (17.9% vs. 10.2%, P = .043).The pCR (T0/isN0M0) and tpCR (T0N0M0) rates in T-based NAC were higher than those in TA-based NAC for triple-negative subtype (pCR 34.5% vs. 25.8%, P = .041, tpCR 26.9% vs. 17.1%, P = .008). For HER2+(HR-) subtype, the pCR, and tpCR rates were higher in T-based NAC in insufficient anti-HER2 therapy (P < .05), and those were higher in TA-based NAC in dual-target anti-HER2 therapy (pCR 69.2% vs. 53.8%, P = .254, tpCR 61.5% vs. 42.3%, P = .165). For HER2+(HR+) breast cancer, both pCR and tpCR rates were higher in TA group, regardless of the adequacy of anti-HER2 treatment.CONCLUSIONS:
T-based NAC could replace TA-based NAC for luminal A, luminal B, and triple-negative early-stage BC, but anthracyclines cannot be abandoned in HER2+ breast cancer. The development of anthracyclines with lower adverse reactions is one of the directions for the treatment of HER2+ breast cancer.Palabras clave
