BACKGROUND: Recently, aromatase inhibitors (AI) are widely used in postoperative adjuvant therapy for breast cancer. Nevertheless, studies of postoperative therapeutic strategies for recurrent breast cancer are insufficient.
SUBJECTS AND METHOD: Data on 12 post-menopausal advanced/recurrent breast cancer patients in our department during June 2003- April 2007 were used for this study. No patient had responded to high-dose toremifene (TOR), a third-generation AI. Their therapeutic outcomes were analyzed retrospectively. The median observation period of the subjects was 16.1 months (4.0-40.9 months). Subjects were all hormone-sensitive. Overexpression of HER2 protein was found in only one case. During AI therapy immediately prior, exemestane (EXE) and anastrozole (ANA) had been given in nine and three cases, respectively.
RESULTS: The complete response rate of AI therapy was 16.7% (2/12). The clinical benefit rate was 58.3% (7/12). The median of time to progression (TTP) was 33.8 weeks. Neither the presence nor absence of past history of treatment with tamoxifen (TAM) or other chemotherapies affected the anti-tumor effect. Analysis by the site of metastasis or recurrence revealed that the therapeutic effects were better for non-life-threatening cases in the lung, pleura, soft tissue, etc. The severities of adverse effects were all less than grade 2; the major ones were flushing and sweating.
CONCLUSION: Results show that high-dose TOR given at an early stage can provide clinical benefits for post-menopausal advanced/recurrent breast cancer not responding to AI.
