Tóm tắt

Postmastectomy radiation therapy (PMRT) reduces locoregional recurrence (LRR) and breast cancer mortality for node-positive breast cancer, but its indication remains controversial in patients with 1–3 positive lymph nodes. We retrospectively analyzed LRR and survival rates in T1–2 breast cancer with 1–3 positive lymph nodes according to PMRT. The prognostic factors and the impact of the current standard systemic therapy (early period: 2000–2007 and late period: 2008–2015) were assessed because adjuvant trastuzumab has only been approved in 2008 in Japan. Between 2000 and 2015, 162 patients with T1–2N1 breast cancer underwent mastectomy, and 32 (19.8%) underwent PMRT. The 5-year LRR rates were 5.3% in the no PMRT group and 0% in the PMRT group (P = 0.272). Meanwhile, the disease-free survival rates were 80.6% in the no PMRT group and 96.6% in the PMRT group (P = 0.095), and the benefit of PMRT was low in the late period. The significant prognostic factors were larger tumor size (T2) and estrogen receptor negativity. PMRT tended to improve LRR and disease-free survival. The omission of PMRT is carefully determined.
