    Abstract: BACKGROUND: Neoaduvant radiochemotherapy (NRT-CHT) is the standard of care for many solid tumors. It could be also an alternative option for treating patients with locally advanced non inflammatory breast cancer (LABC). Surgeons are afraid of wound healing problems and fear bad cosmetic results. The purpose of this investigation was to find out if there are any acute or late side effects in breast conserving and mastectomy patients after NRT-CHX. PATIENTS AND METHODS: From 1991 to 1998 a total of 315 LABC patients (cT1-cT4/cN0-N1) were treated with NRT-CHX. Preoperative radiotherapy (RT) consisted of external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) of 50 Gy (5 × 2 Gy/week) to the breast and the supra-/infraclavicular lymph nodes combined with a consecutive electron boost in 214 cases or - in case of breast conservation - a 10-Gy interstitial boost with (192)Ir afterloading before EBRT. Chemotherapy was given prior to RT in 192 patients, and concomitantly in 113; 10 patients received no chemotherapy. Also we investigated the acute side effects in 10 patients with NRT-CHX who were treated with this method from 2012-2015. The cosmetic outcome was assessed by patient questionnaire, panel evaluation, and breast retraction assessment (BRA). Quality-of-life was investigated by EORTC QLQ-C30 and BR23 and acute and late radiation side effects by LENT/SOMA scale RESULTS: The long term results of 64 patients after breast conserving surgery and 152 patients after mastectomy were available. Most patients rated their overall cosmetics as excellent or good (94% breast conserving, 55.8% mastectomy). Patient and panel ratings on all cosmetic outcomes were similar between the two groups. After a follow up of 14-23 years we did not detect any grade III or IV fibrosis in any of our groups. The median BRA score after breast conserving surgery was 2.9 and the over-all quality of life (QLQ-C30) was rated "excellent" or good in 82%. Furthermore we did not detect any grade 3 or 4 acute side effects in our 10 patients who were recently treated with NRT-CHX. CONCLUSION: NRT-CHX is safe method and it is not associated with severe grade 3 or 4 acute or late side effects.

    Abstract: BACKGROUND: Neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy (NRT-CHX) in locally advanced noninflammatory breast cancer (LABC) is an innovative method in treating patients. Proliferation markers make up the majority of genes included in RNA-based prognostic gene signatures applied for breast cancer patients. In this subgroup analysis long-term clinical outcome data and predictive factors were analyzed. PATIENTS AND METHODS: During 1991-1998, a total of 315 LABC patients (cT1-cT4/cN0-N1) were treated with NRT-CHX. Preoperative radiotherapy (RT) consisted of external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) of 50 Gy (5 × 2 Gy/week) to the breast and the supra-/infraclavicular lymph nodes combined with an electron boost in 214 cases afterwards or -in case of breast conservation- a 10-Gy interstitial boost with (192)Ir after loading before EBRT. Chemotherapy was administered prior to RT in 192 patients, and concomitantly in 113; 10 patients received no chemotherapy. The impact of age, tumor grade, nodal status, hormone and growth factor receptor status (ER, PR, EGFR), p53, ki-67, HER2/neu, and bcl-2 on pathological complete response pCR and disease-free survival were examined in uni- and multivariate terms. RESULTS: Hormone receptor status, proliferative activity, bcl-2, EGFR-status and clinical tumor size had a significant impact on predicting neoadjuvant therapy success. Age, cN, grading, p53, and HER2/neu status failed to reach a significant correlation to complete remission. All examined immunohistochemical factors with the exception of EGFR, and all clinical factors displayed an univariately significant impact on DFS (disease free survival). Particularly, while HER-2/neu had no predictive value for pCR it displayed the highest impact on DFS after complete response (n = 92), even in a multivariate setting with clinical tumor size and nodal status. Complementary, p53 was the most superior immunhistochemical factor for prognosis after neoadjuvant incomplete remission (n = 223). CONCLUSION: Her2/neu is a predictive marker for overall survival independent from the pCR. It has no predictive value for the pCR. P53 is a prognostic marker for patients with incomplete remission. Prospective studies are needed to evaluate their use for decisions to further individualize adjuvant treatment after neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy.

    Abstract: Background: An earlier published series of neoadjuvant radio-chemotherapy (NRT-CHX) in locally advanced non-inflammatory breast cancer (LABC) has now been updated with a follow up of more than 15 years. Long- term outcome data and predictive factors for pathologic complete response (PCR) were analyzed. Patients and Methods: 315 LABC patients (cT1-cT4/cN0-N1) were treated during 1991–1998 with NRT-CHX. Preoperative radiotherapy (RT) consisted of external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) of 50 Gy (5 × 2 Gy/week) to the breast and the supra-/infraclavicular lymph nodes combined with an electron boost in 214 cases afterwards or – in case of breast conservation – an 10-Gy interstitial boost with 192Ir afterloading before EBRT. Chemotherapy was administered prior to RT in 192 patients, and concomitantly in 113; 10 patients received no chemotherapy. The update of all follow up ended in November 2011. Age, tumor grade, nodal status, hormone receptor status, simultaneous vs. sequential CHX and the time interval between end of RT and surgery were examined in multivariate terms with as endpoint pCR and overall survival. Results: The total PCR rate after neoadjuvant RT-CHX reached 29.2 % with LABC breast conservation becoming possible in 50.8%. In initially node-positive cases (cN+), a complete nodal response (pN0) after NRT-CHX was observed in 56% (89/159). The multivariate analysis revealed that a longer time interval to surgery increased the probability for a pCR (HR 1,17 [95% CI 1,05-1,31], p & lt; 0,01). However, in large tumors (T3-T4) a significantly reduced pCR rate (HR 0.89 [95% CI 0.80 to 0.99], p = 0.03) could be obtained. Importantly, a pCR was the strongest prognostic factor for long term survival (HR 0.28 [95% CI 0.19–0.56] , p & lt; 0.001). Conclusions: A PCR identifies patients with a significant better prognosis for long-term survival. However, a long time interval to surgery ( & gt; 2 months) increases the probability of a pCR after NRT-CHX. Citation Information: Cancer Res 2012;72(24 Suppl):Abstract nr P1-14-04.
