RESUMO

Purpose: This aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of intercostal nerve anastomosis among breast cancer patients who undergo immediate subpectoral prosthetic breast reconstruction after nipple-areola-sparing mastectomy. Methods: From 2022 to 2023, female patients between the ages of 20 and 60 diagnosed with stage I-IIIA breast cancer, who required and were willing to undergo immediate subpectoral prosthetic breast reconstruction after nipple-areola-sparing mastectomy, were screened and assigned to take the operation with (treatment group) or without (control group) intercostal nerve anastomosis (the nerves with appropriate length and thickness were selected from the 2nd-4th intercostal nerves, which were then dissociated and anastomosed to the posterior areola tissue). A radial incision at the surface projection of the tumor location was used. The patients' breast local sensation was assessed using Semmes-Weinstein monofilaments before the operation as well as at 10 days, 3 months, and 6 months postoperatively. Furthermore, the patients' quality of life was evaluated 6 months postoperatively using the EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire. Adverse events, operation duration, drainage volume, and the duration of drainage tube carrying time were also monitored and recorded. Results: Compared to the pre-operative period, a significant decrease in local sensation was observed 10 days after surgery in both groups. However, the control group showed a significant reduction in sensation at 3 and 6 months postoperatively, while the treatment group showed noticeable recovery. A statistically significant difference (P < 0.001) in local sensation between the pre-operative and post-operative periods was observed at the final follow-up in the two groups. By the time of 3 and 6 months postoperatively, a significant difference was seen in the local sensation between the two groups. Intercostal nerve anastomosis was found to significantly improve the patients' quality of life, including emotional (P = 0.01), physical (P = 0.04), and social functioning (P = 0.02) and pain (P = 0.04). There were no significant differences in general characteristics (such as age, BMI, and subtypes). Although intercostal nerve anastomosis increased the duration of operation by around 20 min (P < 0.001), it did not affect the volume or duration of postoperative drainage tube usage between the two groups. Conclusion: This study indicated that intercostal nerve anastomosis improved the local sensation and quality of life of patients who underwent immediate subpectoral prosthetic breast reconstruction after nipple-areola-sparing mastectomy.

RESUMO

Background: Pyrotinib combined with capecitabine has been approved for the treatment of patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive metastatic breast cancer in China. To date, the management of early-stage or locally advanced HER2-positive breast cancer in the clinic remains challenging. We conducted this trial to investigate the efficacy and safety of pyrotinib combined with capecitabine as neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) in elderly patients with HER2-positive breast cancer. Due to the stimulation of blood vessels by chemotherapy drugs, the elasticity of blood vessels in the elderly decreases, and then chemotherapy infusion is more likely to lead to phlebitis. Both pyrotinib and capecitabine can be taken to facilitate home treatment for elderly patients with HER2-positive breast cancer (BC). Methods: From January 2020 to March 2021, patients aged between 70 and 81 years old with stage IIA-IIIB HER2-positive breast cancer were screened, enrolled, and assigned to receive six cycles of pyrotinib (320-400 mg, orally, once daily) plus capecitabine (1,250 mg/m2, orally, twice daily) on days 1-14 in every 21-day cycle. The primary endpoint was the objective response rate (ORR). Adverse events (AEs) were assessed in every neoadjuvant cycle. Surgery was performed after the last cycle, and the total pathological complete response (tpCR) was evaluated postoperatively. Results: Of the 23 patients enrolled, the ORR was 100% (23/23; 95% confidence intervals: 85 to 100). All patients underwent surgery with a tpCR rate of 43.5% (10/23; 95% confidence intervals: 23 to 66). The most common AE was diarrhea, occurring in 19 of 23 patients (82.6%); most of these patients sustained mild diarrhea (Grade 1 or Grade 2) and only three had moderate diarrhea (Grade 3). The incidences of other AEs, including weakness, loss of appetite, leukopenia, nausea, vomiting, hand-foot syndrome, etc., were low and the symptoms were mild. No severe AEs (Grade 4 or 5) were observed throughout the treatment. Conclusion: In our study, pyrotinib combined with capecitabine as neoadjuvant therapy in elderly women with HER2-positive breast cancer is safe and showed efficacy in this population, which may be widely used as a protocol for clinical neoadjuvant therapy.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The anti-tumor activity of pyrotinib has been confirmed in human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive metastatic breast cancer. This study investigated the effect of pyrotinib plus nab-paclitaxel, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide as neoadjuvant therapy in patients with HER2-positive locally advanced breast cancer. METHODS: In this single-center retrospective study, female patients with HER2-positive locally advanced breast cancer received pyrotinib 320 mg orally once a day and the TAC regimen (nab-paclitaxel 260 mg/m2, liposomal doxorubicin 20 mg/m2, and cyclophosphamide 600 mg/m2) on day 1 of each 21-day cycle. Surgery was performed after 4-6 cycles of neoadjuvant therapy. The outcomes included total pathological complete response (tpCR, ypT0/Tis ypN0) rate, objective response rate (ORR) after neoadjuvant therapy, progression-free survival, overall survival, and the incidence of adverse events (AEs). RESULTS: Between March 2019 and January 2020, a total of 22 patients were included. The median age was 48 years (range, 32-60). The ORR was 100% after the completion of neoadjuvant therapy. Ten (45.5%) patients achieved tpCR, including four of ten (40.0%) patients with positive hormone receptor, and six of 12 (50.0%) patients with negative hormone receptor. As at December 2020, no disease recurrence, progression, or death occurred. All patients suffered AEs after neoadjuvant therapy, most of which were grade 1-2. Grade ≥3 AEs included diarrhea [4 (18.2%)], rash [2 (9.1%)], and hand-foot syndrome [1 (4.5%)]. CONCLUSIONS: Neoadjuvant pyrotinib combined with the TAC regimen showed promising clinical benefit in patients with HER2-positive locally advanced breast cancer, with an acceptable safety profile.
