目的:目前的辅助治疗提高了绝经前乳腺癌患者的生存率,但可能有短期毒性作用和与过早绝经相关的长期影响。患者和方法:Zoladex早期乳腺癌研究协会的研究评估了戈舍林(每28天3.6 mg,持续2年;n=817)与环磷酰胺、甲氨蝶呤和氟尿嘧啶(CMF)化疗(6个28天周期;n=823)辅助治疗绝经前淋巴结阳性乳腺癌患者的疗效和耐受性。结果:共发生684例事件,中位随访时间为6年。治疗与雌激素受体(ER)状态之间存在显著的相互作用(P= 0.0016)。在er阳性患者(约74%)中,戈舍雷林与CMF的无病生存(DFS)相当(风险比[HR]为1.01;95%可信区间[CI]为0.84至1.20)。在er阴性患者中,戈舍林治疗DFS的效果不如CMF (HR, 1.76; 95% CI, 1.27 - 2.44)。戈舍雷林患者6个月闭经发生率超过95%,而CMF患者为58.6%。大多数戈舍雷林患者在停止治疗后月经恢复,而CMF患者的闭经通常是永久性的(3年闭经22.6% vs 76.9%)。化疗相关的副作用,如恶心/呕吐、脱发和感染,在CMF治疗期间,CMF比戈舍林高。与雌激素抑制相关的副作用最初与戈舍雷林较高,但当戈舍雷林治疗停止后,降低到低于CMF组观察到的水平。结论:戈舍雷林为绝经前er阳性和淋巴结阳性早期乳腺癌患者提供了一种有效且耐受性良好的CMF替代方案。
Purpose: Current adjuvant therapies have improved survival for premenopausal patients with breast cancer but may have short-term toxic effects and long-term effects associated with premature menopause.Patients and Methods: The Zoladex Early Breast Cancer Research Association study assessed the efficacy and tolerability of goserelin (3.6 mg every 28 days for 2 years; n=817) versus cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, and fluorouracil (CMF) chemotherapy (six 28-day cycles; n=823) for adjuvant treatment in premenopausal patients with node-positive breast cancer.Results: Analysis was performed when 684 events had been achieved, and the median follow-up was 6 years. A significant interaction between treatment and estrogen receptor (ER) status was found (P=.0016). In ER-positive patients (approximately 74%), goserelin was equivalent to CMF for disease-free survival (DFS) (hazard ratio [HR], 1.01; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.84 to 1.20). In ER-negative patients, goserelin was inferior to CMF for DFS (HR, 1.76; 95% CI, 1.27 to 2.44). Amenorrhea occurred in more than 95% of goserelin patients by 6 months versus 58.6% of CMF patients. Menses returned in most goserelin patients after therapy stopped, whereas amenorrhea was generally permanent in CMF patients (22.6% v 76.9% amenorrheic at 3 years). Chemotherapy-related side effects such as nausea/vomiting, alopecia, and infection were higher with CMF than with goserelin during CMF treatment. Side effects related to estrogen suppression were initially higher with goserelin, but when goserelin treatment stopped, reduced to a level below that observed in the CMF group.Conclusion: Goserelin offers an effective, well-tolerated alternative to CMF in premenopausal patients with ER-positive and node-positive early breast cancer.
