Meta Analyses

Background: Although the use of adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) appears to be increasing over the past few years, several clinical trials and previous meta-analyses failed to determine whether AC could improve clinical outcomes in uterine leiomyosarcoma (uLMS). The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to compare AC (with or without radiotherapy) versus observation (obs) after primary surgery in early stage uLMS. Materials and Methods: Randomized controlled (RCTs) and non-randomized studies (NRSs) were retrieved. Outcomes of interest were as follows: distant recurrence rate, locoregional recurrence rate and overall recurrence rate. Results about distant recurrence rate, locoregional recurrence rate and overall recurrence rate were compared by calculating odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs); ORs were combined with Mantel–Haenszel method. Results: Nine studies were included in the analysis, involving 545 patients (AC: 252, obs: 293). Compared with obs, AC did not reduce locoregional and distant recurrence rate, with a pooled OR of 1.36 and 0.63, respectively. Similarly, administration of AC did not decrease overall recurrence rate in comparison to obs. Conclusion: According to our results, AC (with or without radiotherapy) did not decrease recurrence rate in early stage uLMS; thus, the role of AC in this setting remains unclear.

Study Objective

e12625 Background: Pathologic complete response(pCR) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy(NAC) in patients with breast cancer(BC) is associated with decreased recurrence and improved survival. In NSABP B18 and B27, 10-yr locoregional recurrence(LRR) after pCR in patients with Stage I-III BC undergoing breast conserving surgery(BCS) and whole breast RT(WBRT) was 5.2-6.9%. However, LRR may be overestimated as Her2 therapy was not used and only some eligible patients received endocrine therapy. A retrospective study using modern protocols found a 5-yr LRR of up to 2.6%. We hypothesize that LRR in N0 patients is even lower, and de-escalation of therapy should be examined. The study objective is to assess if a prospective trial of omission of WBRT after BCS in patients with N0 BC and pCR after NAC is warranted and to assess feasibility. Methods: Patients with T1-T3 N0 invasive BC diagnosed between Dec 2011-2017 treated with NAC and BCS were identified from a hospital BC registry. Health records were retrospectively reviewed to identify patients with pCR, defined as absence of residual invasive or in-situ disease(ypT0N0). Incidents of locoregional and distant recurrence were recorded. Results: Of 89 patients with T1-3 N0 invasive BC treated with NAC and BCS, 29(32.6%) had pCR. Median follow-up was 61.1 months. Median age was 55 yrs and median tumour size was 2.4cm. Receptor status was 16(55.2%) HR-Her2-, 4(13.8%) HR-Her2+, 7(24.1%) HR+Her2+ and 2(6.9%) HR+Her2-. NAC protocols consisted of an anthracycline and/or a taxane in 27(90%) patients, and 6 patients were treated on NAC trials. All patients with Her2+ disease received Her2 targeted therapy. Adjuvant endocrine therapy was taken by 8 of 9 patients with HR+ disease. All patients received WBRT without nodal RT. RT plan was available for 26(86.7%) patients. RT dose ranged from 40-50Gy, and all but 4 received tumour bed boost. There were no local or regional recurrence events at last follow-up. One patient developed brain metastases at 15.7 months. Conclusions: Over 6 years, 29 patients were identified that would be eligible for a prospective trial evaluating omission of WBRT after pCR in N0 patients treated with NAC and BCS. At median 5-yr follow-up, there were no locoregional recurrences in our cohort, demonstrating that the absolute benefit provided by WBRT is likely small. Our results indicate a prospective trial is warranted and will require multi-institution participation to accrue.

Abstract Background Hypofractionated radiotherapy is the current standard for adjuvant radiotherapy across many centres. Further hypofractionation may be possible but remains to be investigated in non-caucasian populations with more advanced disease, with a higher proportion of patients requiring mastectomy as well as tumour bed boost. We are reporting the design of randomized controlled trial testing the hypothesis that a one week (5 fractions) regimen of radiotherapy will be non-inferior to a standard three week (15 fractions) schedule. Methods We describe a multicenter, randomized controlled trial recruiting patients at large academic centres across India. Patients without distant metastases who merit adjuvant radiotherapy will be eligible for inclusion in the study. Patients in the control arm will receive adjuvant radiotherapy to the breast or chest wall (with/without regional nodes) to a dose of 40 Gy / 15 fractions / 3 weeks, while those in the experimental arm will receive a dose of 26 Gy / 5 fractions / 1 week (to the same volume). Use of a simultaneous integrated boost (dose of 8 Gy and 6 Gy respectively) is allowed in patients who have undergone breast conservation. A sample size of 2100 patients provides an 80% power to detect a non-inferiority of 3% in the 5-year locoregional recurrence rate with a one-sided type I error of 2.5%, assuming that the locoregional recurrence rate in the control arm is 5% at 5 years (corresponding to a hazard ratio of 1.63). Patients will be recruited over a period of 5 years, and followed up for a further 5 years thereafter. Discussion If a five-fraction regimen of breast cancer is proven to be non-inferior, this will result in a significant improvement in the access to radiotherapy, as well as reduced costs of treatment. The trial gives an opportunity to standardize and quality assure radiotherapy practices across the nation at the same time. Along with the results of the FAST Forward trial, the safety of this intervention in advanced node-positive disease requiring regional nodal radiation will be established. Trial Registration The trial has been registered at the Clinical Trial Registry of India (CTRI) vide registration number: CTRI/2018/12/016816 (31/12/2018) as well as the clinical trial.gov website at NCT03788213 (28/12/2018).
