Clinical significance and prognostic value of receptor conversion in hormone receptor positive breast cancers after neoadjuvant chemotherapy
BACKGROUND: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is widely used in advanced breast cancer patients. However, there is little known about conversion frequency of estrogen receptor (ER) and/or progesterone receptor (PR) status for hormone receptor positive-breast cancer patients after NAC and their correlat...

description | BACKGROUND: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is widely used in advanced breast cancer patients. However, there is little known about conversion frequency of estrogen receptor (ER) and/or progesterone receptor (PR) status for hormone receptor positive-breast cancer patients after NAC and their correlation with prognosis. METHODS: In this study, 231 breast cancer patients with residual disease after NAC were enrolled and divided into receptor stable group (having no conversion in both ER and PR status pre- and post-NAC) and any receptor conversion group (having any conversion in either ER or PR status). Univariate and multivariate survival analyses were used to compare survival differences between the two groups. RESULTS: Fifty-five patients (23.8%) had ER and/or PR conversion after NAC. Younger patients (≤ 50 years) were more likely to have receptor conversion (P = 0.014). For 213 patients (92.2%) who received adjuvant endocrinotherapy after surgery, the 5-year disease free survival (DFS) estimates for patients in the any receptor conversion group (55.2%) was worse than patients in the receptor stable group (73.7%, Log-rank test, P = 0.015). While the 5-year overall survival estimates for patients with or without receptor conversion were not statistically different (86.0 vs. 82.4%, Log-rank test, P = 0.587). In multivariate Cox proportional hazard analyses, patients with any receptor conversion had worse DFS (hazard ratio, 1.995; 95% confidence interval, 1.130–3.521, P = 0.031). CONCLUSIONS: It is necessary to recommend patients to test biomarkers in residual disease and pay more attention to patients who have any receptor conversion. These patients may need more individual therapy after surgery. |
