• BCT in LABC not a standard procedure
• Strategies being evolved
Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy (NACT)
• Heralded as future of breast cancer treatment. (NSABP18 and EORTC trials)
• FAC/Anthracycline related groupsPositive tumor responseDown staged tumorMastectomy / BCT No survival benefit
NACT- facts
Fact• Need for Mastectomy reduced• Clinical response important
predictor of response• p CR of primary and nodes
predicts outcome• Does not offer survival benefit• Does not increase risk of local
recurrence
Level of evidence• Level I• Level I
• Level I
• Level I• Level II
Sequence in LABC
• Neoadjuvant chemotherapy
• Locoregional surgery – Mastectomy / BCT
• Completion chemotherapy
• Locoregional RT (?)
• Tamoxifen if ER +ve
BCT in LABC - the evidence
• 120 patients LABC – non inflammatory
• 4 courses of induction CT
• Preoperative RT• 5th course of anthracycline
(Le Rouge, Touboul et al. J.Radiation Oncology, biology and physics;2004: 59:1069-53)
Evidence -contd
• Mastectomy + AD – Residual tumor > 3 cm, central, bifocal – 49
• BCS + AD+ boost to excision site - Residual tumor < 3cm – 39
• Radiation to tumor bed -Complete clinical response / Partial response over 90% - 32
Evidence outcome
Mastectomy Group
BCS group RT group
10 yr local recurrence
4% 23% 13%
Conclusion : BCS feasible in LABC but associated with high local recurrence
BCS in LABC High local recurrence
• Clinical response vs Pathologic complete response. 80% - 15%.(Fischer et al , J.of Oncology.1998:16; 267-85)
• Therapy induced tumor regression – patchy and not concentric
• Volume of tissue resected smaller than volume of original tumor. Davidson and Morrow, J. National cancer institute. 2005: 97;159-60
Pathological response
1. Complete response – (p CR) –no residual invasive cells in the breast and axillary contents
2. Partial response – (p PR) –less than 10 microscopic foci of invasive cells
3. No response –( p NR)- All other cases
BCS in LABCStrategies to Improve outcome
• Improve pathological response
- concurrent chemoradiation
- Taxanes – Single / Sequential
• Dannenburg and Formenti trialsImprovement of pathological
