摘要

During the last 50 years median survival for metastatic breast cancer has not varied and remains 2-3.5 years. To assess the clinical benefit of salvage systemic therapy a retrospective analysis of metastatic breast cancer patients all homogeneously treated with a commonly used first-line anthacycline-containing cytotoxic regimen (FEC) was undertaken. The 140 patients in this report were among 375 entered in two consecutive multicenter randomized trials carried out from Dec. 1983 to Jan. 1990. All patients died during follow-up. Median number of salvage therapies was 3 (range 1-7). Response rate (CR and PR) was 41% with FEC and 7%, 3%, 15%, 0%, 14%, 0%, 0% in patients receiving salvage treatment line 1 to 7, respectively. Time to treatment failure (TTF) was 7.5 months for FEC and 3.5, 2.5, 2.1, 1.6, 2.1, 1.1, 1.6 months at first to seventh salvage treatment, respectively. Only a very small fraction of patients receiving first-line FEC respond to subsequent palliative treatment. The advantages of salvage therapy are unclear and must be weighed against the inconvenience, cost and morbidity of treatment. After first salvage therapy, patients should be considered for randomized trials comparing systemic antineoplastic therapy with best palliative care. Endpoints of all future clinical trials in metastatic breast cancer should include measurement of quality of life and accurate, sequential measurement of symptom control.
