Investigating sexual health after breast cancer by longitudinal assessment of patient-reported outcomes. ESMO Open 2024; 9:102236. [PMID: 38350335 PMCID: PMC10937197 DOI: 10.1016/j.esmoop.2024.102236] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/07/2023] [Revised: 11/28/2023] [Accepted: 01/05/2024] [Indexed: 02/15/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Sexual concerns are a major unaddressed need among survivors of breast cancer (BC) with significant negative effects on quality of life. We longitudinally analyzed sexual health over time, using patient-reported outcomes. METHODS Patients with stage I-III BC prospectively included from the CANcer TOxicity cohort (CANTO) provided data at diagnosis, then 1, 2, and 4 years afterward. Sexual concerns outcomes included poor body image (score ≤91/100), poor sexual functioning (≤16/100), poor sexual enjoyment (≤66/100), and sexual inactivity (EORTC QLQ-B23). Multivariate generalized estimating equation models assessed associations with sexual concerns after diagnosis, adjusting for age, sociodemographic, tumor, treatment, and clinical characteristics. RESULTS Nearly 78.1% among 7895 patients reported at least one sexual concern between diagnosis and 4 years' follow-up. Over time, the proportion of patients reporting sexual concerns either increased or remained constant with diagnosis. Less than half (46%, range 11.4-57) of the patients with sexual concerns reported the use of supportive care strategies, including gynecological or psychological consultations (range 11.4-57.4). Factors consistently associated with sexual concerns up to 4 years after diagnosis included already reporting the same concern at diagnosis [odds ratio (OR)poor body image 3.48 [95% confidence interval (CI) 3.11-3.89]; ORsexual inactivity 9.94 (95% CI 8.84-11.18), ORpoor sexual function 9.75 (95% CI 8.67-10.95), ORpoorsexual enjoyment 3.96 (95% CI 3.34-4.69)], endocrine therapy use [ORpoor body image 1.15 (95% CI 1.01-1.31); ORsexual inactivity 1.19 (95% CI 1.02-1.39), ORpoor sexual function 1.17 (95% CI 1.01-1.37), ORpoor sexual enjoyment 1.23 (95% CI 1.00-1.53)], and depression [ORpoor body image 2.00 (95% CI 1.72-2.34); ORsexual inactivity 1.66 (95% CI 1.40-1.97), ORpoor sexual function 1.69 (95% CI 1.43-2.00), ORpoor sexual enjoyment 1.94 (95% CI 1.50-2.51)]. Outcome-specific associations were also identified. CONCLUSIONS Sexual concerns seem frequent, persistent, and insufficiently addressed. Pretreatment concerns, endocrine therapy, and emotional distress are commonly associated factors. A proactive evaluation of sexual health across the care continuum is needed, to promptly identify patients suitable for multidisciplinary counseling, referral, and supportive interventions.

Factors associated with enrolment in clinical trials among women with early-stage breast cancer. ESMO Open 2022; 7:100513. [PMID: 35724624 PMCID: PMC9271499 DOI: 10.1016/j.esmoop.2022.100513] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2022] [Revised: 05/16/2022] [Accepted: 05/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Clinical trials allow development of innovative treatments and ameliorate the quality of clinical care in oncology. Data show that only a minority of patients are enrolled in clinical trials. We assessed enrolment in clinical trials and its correlates among women with early breast cancer. Methods We included 9516 patients with stage I-III breast cancer from the multicenter, prospective CANTO study (NCT01993498), followed-up until year 4 (Y4) post-diagnosis. We assessed factors associated with enrolment using multivariable logistic regression. In exploratory, propensity score matched analyses, we used multiple linear regression to evaluate the relationship of enrolment in clinical trials with the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality Of Life (QoL) questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30) Summary Score and described clinical outcomes (distant disease event, invasive disease event, and death by any cause) according to enrolment. Results Overall, 1716 patients (18%) were enrolled in a clinical trial until Y4 post-diagnosis of breast cancer. Socioeconomic factors were not associated with enrolment. Centres of intermediate volume were most likely to enrol patients in clinical trials [versus low volume, odds ratio 1.45 (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.08-1.95), P = 0.0124]. Among 2118 propensity score matched patients, enrolment was associated with better QoL at Y4 (adjusted mean difference versus not enrolled 1.37, 95% CI 0.03-2.71, P = 0.0458), and clinical outcomes (enrolled versus not enrolled, distant disease event 7.3% versus 10.1%, P = 0.0206; invasive disease event 8.2% versus 10.5%, P = 0.0732; death by any cause 2.8% versus 3.7%, P = 0.2707). Conclusions In this large study, one in five patients enrolled on a clinical trial until Y4 after diagnosis of early breast cancer. Geographical and centre-related factors were significantly associated with enrolment in clinical trials. Inclusion in clinical trials seemed associated with improved QoL and clinical outcomes. Access to innovation for early-stage breast cancer patients should be encouraged and facilitated by overcoming organizational and geographical barriers to recruitment. The proportion of patients who access innovation through participation in clinical trials is generally limited. Rate of enrolment in clinical trials among women with early breast cancer exceeded what previously found in other settings. Clinical and geographical factors were associated to access to innovation in clinical trials. Enrolment in clinical trials is associated with better quality of life and clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Breast cancer carrying BRCA mutation may be highly sensitive to DNA-damaging agents. We hypothesized a better outcome for BRCA-mutated (BRCA(mut)) metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients receiving high-dose chemotherapy and autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HDC AHSCT) versus unaffected BRCA (BRCA wild type; (BRCA(wt))) or patients without documented BRCA mutation (BRCA untested (BRCA(ut))). All female patients treated for MBC with AHSCT at Institut Paoli-Calmettes between 2003 and 2012 were included. BRCA(mut) and BRCA(wt) patients were identified from our institutional genetic database. Overall survival (OS) was the primary end point. A total of 235 patients were included. In all, 15 patients were BRCA(mut), 62 BRCA(wt) and 149 BRCA(ut). In multivariate analyses, the BRCA(mut) status was an independent prognostic factor for OS (hazard ratio (HR): 3.08, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.10-8.64, P=0.0326) and PFS (HR: 2.52, 95% CI :1.29-4.91, P=0.0069). In this large series of MBC receiving HDC AHSCT, we report a highly favorable survival outcome in the subset of patients with documented germline BRCA mutations.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Genomic-based approaches in advanced breast cancer (ABC) were recently demonstrated as feasible in the clinical practice, but only a limited number of patients were actually treated with targeted therapies matching genomic alterations, with low antitumor activity. We conducted a pilot study to evaluate whether precision medicine using NGS and aCGH could be implemented prospectively at a single center in ABC patients. In addition, we examined whether PDX could be derived from ABC and thus could help inform therapeutic decision.
Methods
ABC patients accessible to tumor biopsy were prospectively enrolled at the Institut Paoli-Calmettes in the BC-BIO study (ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT01521676). Tumor tissue from locally recurrent or metastatic disease was immediately frozen after dedicated biopsy. Genomic profiling included high-resolution 4x180K aCGH (Agilent Technologies, Massy, France) and DNA sequencing, using a library of 365 cancer candidate genes (HaloPlex target enrichment kit, Agilent technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA) and MiSeq analyzer (Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA) with 2x150-bp, paired-end at about 300x coverage. In a subset of patients, fresh tumor was implanted orthotopically in humanized cleared fat pads of NSG mice for establishing xenotransplants.
Results
A total of 34 ABC patients were included, with the following characteristics: median age 54 years (35-77); molecular subtypes: 11 triple-negative (32%), 12 luminal non-HER2 (35%), 4 luminal HER2 (12%), 3 HER2 non-luminal (9%), and 4 unknown (12%); 33 with previous chemotherapy (97%); 22 with previous endocrine treatment (35%); 7 with previous anti-HER2 (21%). Tumor biopsies were obtained from liver (15), skin (6), peritoneum (4), breast (3), node (3), lung (1), pleura (1), and ascitis (1), with a median tumor cellularity of 70% (range 10-90%). aCGH and NGS were available from 34 and 33 patients, respectively. An actionable target was found in 28 patients (82%), corresponding to 66 targets, including 37 mutations (8 in PIK3CA, 7 TP53, 4 ESR1, 2 AKT1, 2 BRCA2, 2 HER2), 22 amplifications (7 for CCND1, 2 CCNE1, 2 FGFR1, 2 IGF1R) and 7 homozygous deletions (3 for PTEN, 2 CDKN2A/B,1 BRCA2, 1 STK11). A targeted therapeutic proposal was possible, either in a clinical trial (N=18, 52%) or using already registered drugs (N=17, 50%). Ten patients actually received a targeted treatment, 1 of them experienced objective response and 1 showed stable disease for more than 6 months. Of 26 patients subjected to mouse implantation, 10 had successful xenografting (6 triple-negative, 2 HER2, 1 luminal non-HER2, 1 subtype non-attributed), with a median time to reach 10 mm of 148 days. These PDX will be used as models to understand the patient's therapeutic response.
Conclusion
Precision medicine using high-throughput DNA sequencing and aCGH can be implemented at a single center in the context of clinical practice and may allow direct therapeutic proposal in 1/3 of patients, but antitumor activity was minimal. PDX may be obtained in a significant fraction of patients, especially in triple-negative and HER2 subtypes, and could phenotypically complement genomic data.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anthracycline-based adjuvant chemotherapy improves survival in patients with high-risk node-negative breast cancer (BC). In this setting, prognostic factors predicting for treatment failure might help selecting among the different available cytotoxic combinations. METHODS Between 1998 and 2008, 757 consecutive patients with node-negative BC treated in our institution with adjuvant FEC (5FU, epirubicin, cyclophosphamide) chemotherapy were identified. Data collection included demographic, clinico-pathological characteristics and treatment information. Molecular subtypes were derived from estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) status and Scarff-Bloom-Richardson (SBR) grade. Disease-free survival (DFS), distant disease-free survival (DDFS) and overall survival (OS) were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier Method, and prognostic factors were examined by multivariate Cox analysis. RESULTS After a median follow-up of 70 months, the 5-year DFS, DDFS and OS were 90.6 % (95 % confidence interval (CI): 88.2-93.1), 92.8 % (95 % CI: 90.7-95) and 95.1 % (95 % CI, 93.3-96.9), respectively. In the multivariate analysis including classical clinico-pathological parameters, only grade 3 maintained a significant and independent adverse prognostic impact. In an alternative multivariate model where ER, PR and grade were replaced by molecular subtypes, only luminal B/HER2-negative and triple-negative subtypes were associated with reduced DFS and DDFS. CONCLUSIONS Node-negative BC patients receiving adjuvant FEC regimen have a favorable outcome. Luminal B/HER2-negative and triple-negative subtypes identify patients with a higher risk of treatment failure, which might warrant more aggressive systemic treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sunitinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor approved for the treatment of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Few data evaluated severe buccodental adverse events. The aim of this study was to evaluate sunitinib buccodental toxicity in patients with metastatic RCC and to compare it with that of standard chemotherapy in patients with other solid cancers. METHODS Patients with RCC treated with sunitinib and patients with other solid tumours treated with chemotherapy were followed for 3 months. Data on dental appliances, oral hygiene/care practices before and during treatment were collected. RESULTS A total of 116 patients were included (58 RCC treated by sunitinib: group S, and 58 treated by chemotherapy: group C). No differences in dental care habits were noted before treatment. In group S, patients reported significantly more frequent pain (P<0.01), teeth instability (P=0.01), gingival bleeding (P=0.01) and change in teeth colour (P=0.02). In all, 58% of patients in this group had to modify their diet (P<0.01). Frequency of dentist visits for teeth removal was increased (25% vs 8%, P=0.01). CONCLUSION Sunitinib seems to increase buccodental toxicity as compared with chemotherapy. This finding emphasises the need for optimal dental care and standardised dental follow-up in patients treated with sunitinib.

Abstract
Background: Participants are showing great interest these days in obtaining the results of clinical trials. The aim of this study was to assess patients’ uptake and understanding of the results of the trial in which they have participated and the impact of a letter offering patients the possibility of consulting the trial results on a specific website. Methods: Breast cancer patients participating in a trial on the efficacy of Trastuzumab were randomly subdivided into an Internet group (who received the letter of invitation) and a control group (who did not receive it). Among 115 HER2-positive women from 21 centres, 107 (93%) answered a self-administered questionnaire. Results: Most of the patients in both groups had access to the Internet (72.0%). The majority (97.2%) stated that receiving information about the trial results would be useful, and the oncologist was the most frequently preferred information provider. The Internet group's declared uptake of the trial results was only slightly higher (47.1% vs 33.9% P=0.166); however, they understood the results significantly more accurately (18.8% vs 5.6% P=0.039). Interpretation: Although Internet was not the respondents’ preferred source of information, the possibility of using this source slightly increased the uptake and understanding of the results.

Abstract
Abstract
Background and objective: Decision to administer adjuvant chemotherapy to N-/M- invasive breast cancer (IBC) patients remains a clinical challenge. Several patient-related factors, such as age, tumor size and grade, or hormone receptor (HR) and HER2 status are incorporated in treatment guidelines. Recommendations have become more complex with time and availability of additional tests. Using the breast cancer database developed at Institut Paoli Calmettes (IPC) from 1999 onwards, our objective was to analyze the importance of key patient-related factors in chemotherapy decision and their evolution over time.Methods: Using our database containing 5854 N-/M- IBC patients, descriptive statistics and classification tree analysis (CART) examined the following factors: age (cut-off 40y), tumor size (cut-off 20 mm), SBR histologic grade, HR positivity, perivascular infiltration (PVI). At IPC, HER2 became clinical routine from 2000 onwards, and cut-off for tumor size was reduced to 15 mm after 2005.Consequently, a second cohort comprised of patients diagnosed between 2000 and 2005 with homogeneous diagnosis and management practices was analysed.Results: SBR-1 and SBR-2 represented 32% and 46% of all cases (n=5854) resp., and SBR-3 22%. Distribution of patients for the other factors of interest was: tumor size > 20 mm for 27%, HR+ for 80%, age >= 40 yr for 91%, PVI+ for 24%. Adjuvant chemotherapy was administered to 1597 patients (27,3%). The optimal tree model based on pruning and 10-fold cross-validation correctly predicted 83.5% of decision, with 93% sensibility and 61% specificity. SBR was the most important t decision factor, allowing to improve the prediction rate from 72.7% to 76.4%. The next factors were date of diagnosis, then size for SBR 1-2, and age for SBR3. Adjuvant chemotherapy was more frequent after 2000 than before: 34.2% vs 8.9% resp. for SBR1-2, and 83.2% vs 39.3% resp.for SBR3. In the 2000-2005 cohort (n=1658, SBR1=37%, SBR2=40%, SBR3=23%), chemotherapy was chosen for 754 patients (45.5%). The optimal tree model based on pruning and 10-fold cross-validation correctly predicted 79.3% of cases with 82.8% sensibility and 76.4% specificity. SBR was again the primary decision factor, improving the prediction rate from 55.5% to 75.0%. For SBR1-2 chemotherapy was used in 35% of patients, and tumor size, PVI and age were the next decision factors. For the SBR-3, grade was the only relevant decision factor in the algorithm, leading to chemotherapy in 82% of patients.Conclusion: Hierarchy of factors driving chemotherapy decision is remarkably stable over time. Tumor grade, a major indicator of proliferation, remains the most contributive factor for adjuvant chemotherapy in N-/M- IBC, despite the progressive availability of new pathologic indicators over time. Considering the variability of tumor grading by histology across centers, and the limited informative power of intermediate SBR-2 grade, improvement in tumor grading may provide a simple approach to refine currently validated treatment algorithms and allow for a more individualized treatment strategy.

Abstract
5520 Background: P and L are oral tyrosine kinase inhibitors. P targets VEGFR, PDGFR, and c-Kit. L targets EGFR and HER2 in CC, EGFR overexpression and markers of angiogenesis correlate with poor outcome; the prognostic value of HER2 overexpression remains unclear. Methods: Patients (pts) with measurable stage IVB, persistent or recurrent squamous or adenocarcinoma of the cervix not amenable to curative therapy; 0–1 prior regimens in the metastatic setting; ECOG PS 0–1; were randomized 1:1:1 to each of 3 treatment groups; not prescreened for EGFR or HER2 status. Treatment consisted of P 800mg QD; L 1,500 mg QD; L+P: P 400 mg + L 1,000 mg QD; the doses were escalated to P 800 mg + L 1,500 mg after 20 pts treated at 400 mg + 1,000 mg. Therapy continued until progression (PD), withdrawal due to adverse events (AEs), or withdrawal of consent. Primary endpoint was progression free survival (PFS); secondary overall survival (OS), tumor response (RR), safety. The study had 85% power to detect 80% improvement in PFS. A hierarchical testing procedure was applied comparing L+P vs L followed by L+P vs P and P vs L. The futility boundary was crossed for L + P vs L at the planned interim analysis and this arm was discontinued. Only the comparison of P vs L at the final analysis is reported. Results: Total N = 235 pts: 152 in the monotherapy arms: P (78); L (74). Baseline characteristics were balanced: median age 49 yrs (23–81). Stage IVB: 5%; recurrent 62%; persistent 34%. 86% had prior radiotherapy (45% with chemotherapy); 42% had prior chemotherapy for recurrent/persistent disease. P improved PFS (HR = 0.66; 90% CI 0.48, 0.91 p = 0.013) and OS (HR = 0.67; 90% CI 0.46, 0.99 p = 0.045; median OS for P is 50.7 wks; L is 39.1 wks) with RR for P of 9% and L 5%. Most common AEs (%) P/L were diarrhea (54/58), nausea (36/33), anorexia (28/32), vomiting (20/24); the most common Gr 3 AE was diarrhea (11/13); Gr 4 for any individual AE was ≤ 1%; 1 Gr 5 event of cachexia unrelated to L. Conclusions: PFS and OS were significantly prolonged with P compared to L. P and L both demonstrated a favorable toxicity profile in pts with advanced and recurrent CC. This study demonstrates the potential benefit of P in CC. Further exploration is indicated. [Table: see text]

Abstract
1010 Background: Docetaxel has become a standard in management of metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients (pts). However, there is no validated clinical or biological marker allowing to predict which pts are most likely to benefit from it. We evaluated the ability of Surface enhanced laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (SELDI-TOF MS) to identify serum proteins that could predict for docetaxel activity. Methods: We prospectively collected pretreatment serum of 81 HER2- MBC pts receiving docetaxel as first-line treatment. Serum samples were denatured, and then incubated in triplicates with three different ProteinChip arrays (Ciphergen): H50, IMAC30-Cu and CM10. Arrays were analysed using a PBSIIc ProteinChip reader (Ciphergen). Results: Pt characteristics were the following: median age, 53 ys (34 -71); Hormonal Receptivity (HR) (yes/no/na, %) 76/15/9; Disease-free interval (DFI) (≤24 months/>24 months, %) 42/58; visceral disease (yes/no, %) 35/65; metastatic sites (<3/≥3,%) 85/15; Median follow-up, 19.8 months (95%CI, 16.1–21.9); Median Progression-free survival (PFS), 12.9 months (95%CI, 8.8–18). Overall, 521 protein peaks were resolved. Univariate Cox proportional hazards regression identified 20 proteins significantly associated to PFS (P < 0.01). A stepwise procedure using the Akaike information criterion was applied to build a Cox model with 7 protein peaks allowing to calculate a risk index for each pt. Using the risk index median value as cut-off, high-risk and low-risk populations with dramatic differences in PFS were identified (2-year PFS of 0% and 54.6%, p = 1.45 10–8). Validation methods included leave-one-out cross validation and iterative resampling. In a multivariate Cox regression including conventional prognostic factors (HR, DFI, visceral metastasis) and serum protein risk index, the latter retained the strongest independent prognostic significance for PFS. Identification of proteins with differential expression according to clinical outcome is ongoing. Conclusions: Serum proteomic profiling may help select MBC Pts who will benefit from treatment with docetaxel. Validation on an independent dataset is planned. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
1105 Background: Modern management of metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients (pts) is currently based on molecular stratification according to HER2 status and first-line taxanes. We sought to examine outcome data and prognostic factors in a prospectively characterized cohort of HER2 negative MBC pts receiving first-line docetaxel in a routine setting. Methods: Medical records from 162 HER2-, MBC pts treated at the Institut Paoli-Calmettes with first-line docetaxel-based regimen between 1997 and 2005 were reviewed. These patients had been treated with docetaxel single-agent or in combination according to standard institutional protocols. Univariate and multivariate analysis according Cox regression model were employed to identify prognostic factors for progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Results: Pt characteristics were the following: median age (ys), 51 (24 -75); Histological type (ductal/lobular/other, %) 81/15/4; Grade (1/2/3, %); Hormonal Receptivity (HR) (yes/no, %) 83/17; Adjuvant chemotherapy (CT) (yes/no; %) 66/34; Disease-free interval (DFI) (<24 months/>24 months, %) 47/53; visceral disease (yes/no, %) 46/54; number of metastatic sites (<3/>3,%) 78/22; liver metastasis (yes/no, %) 31/67; bone metastasis (yes/no, %) 65/35. After a median follow-up of 33 months, median PFS and OS were 11.7 months (95%CI , 9.7 -14.8) and 35 months (95%CI, 28.1–52.1), respectively. By univariate analysis, HR- (p=7.9 e-06), visceral disease (p=0.015), shorter DFI (p=0.027) and previous adjuvant CT (p=0.0038) were negatively associated with PFS, while HR- (p=6.3e-07), visceral disease (p=0.0094) and shorter DFI (p=0.01) were also negatively associated to OS. 14. These parameters retained independent prognostic significance by multivariate analysis, the strongest being HR-(p=2.4e-5) for OS. HR- pts had a PFS of 6.87 months [95%CI, 4.27 - 11.0] Vs 14 months [95%CI, 11.84 - 18.5] in HR+ pts (log-rank test p= 3.16e-06). 2-year OS were 38% [95%CI, 21.9–65] and 76%[95%CI, 68.7–84.4] (p = 6.52e-08) in HR- and HR+ pts, respectively. Conclusions: In the taxane era, median OS of HER2- MBC pts is nearly 3 yrs. Triple negative pts (HER2-, HR-) are a very poor-risk group requiring innovative therapeutic strategies. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
18522 Background: More than ever the question of patient’s information remains a matter of debate. Some consider information as a risk of anxiety, others see it as a way of patient implication in the treatment and allowing a better patient-physician relationship. Does the model of informed, empowered patient valid in European institution? To assess the impact, in term of anxiety, quality of life (QoL) and satisfaction, of a change in usual practice by proposing a specific structured and organized file (SSOF) including all medical information in real time. Methods: To evaluate this practice change, patients (breast or colon cancer and lymphoma) who have accepted to participate have been randomized between an “access” to the SSOF arm and a “non access” arm. The patients after being randomized in the “access” arm have had the choice to hold, or not, the SSOF. To help the patient, SSOF contains a lexical and a designed trained person was available. Anxiety (state-trait anxiety scale), Qol (EORTC QLQ-C30) and satisfaction were assessed at baseline, during and at the end of the treatment. Moreover, impact of this change was also assessed among the patients’ nurse, general practitioner and referent physician in our institution. Results: Among the 277 eligible patients, only 12 (4%) have refused to participate in the study. 134 have been randomized in the “non-access” arm and 131 in the “access” arm. A counter intuitive result was that no one of these 131 patients has refused to hold the SSOF. No statistical difference in baseline scores of QoL and anxiety scores between the two arms was observed at the time of randomization. Conclusions: First observation is that when you give the opportunity to hold an extended information all patients want to benefit from, even in French European institution.

Abstract
BACKGROUND ERBB2 overexpression predicts a worse outcome for patients receiving high-dose chemotherapy (HDC). Trastuzumab improves response rate and survival in ERBB2 overexpressing metastatic breast cancer patients (MBC). We investigated the feasibility of combining high-dose alkylating agents with autologous hematopoietic stem cell (AHSC) support and trastuzumab in ERBB2 overexpressing MBC. PATIENTS AND METHODS Eleven consecutive patients with pre-treated ERBB2 overexpressing MBC were enrolled. HDC regimen consisted of a single course of cyclophosphamide 120 mg/kg + melphalan 140 mg/m2 (CyMEL, n =8), a single course of Thiotepa 600 mg/m2 (TTP, n = 1) or a sequential combination of Thiotepa 600 mg/m2 followed on day 21 by BCNU 600 mg/m2 (TTP-BCNU, n =2). Trastuzumab (4mg/kg) was started 24 h after AHSC infusion and then administered weekly (2 mg/kg). RESULTS Median time to neutrophil and platelet recovery was 10 and 14.5 days, respectively. Three patients experienced febrile neutropenia and in 2 Herpes virus infections were documented. Five grade III/IV mucositis/oesophagitis were recorded. One patient experienced a reversible atrial arrhythmia on day 2 of trastuzumab, and another patients had a nonsymptomatic decrease in LVEF >10% on week 12 of trastuzumab. No toxic death was recorded. Median time to progression was 5 months (1 to 38 +). CONCLUSION Combining alkylating agent-based HDC and trastuzumab appears to be feasible in ERBB2 overexpressing MBC and warrants further investigation in a larger cohort.

Abstract
The prognosis of inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is poor. We evaluated clinical and biopathological characteristics that could affect survival in 74 women with nonmetastatic IBC consecutively treated in our institution between 1976 and 2000. Patients received primary anthracycline-based chemotherapy at conventional doses (n=20) or high-dose chemotherapy (HDC) with haematopoietic stem cell support (HSCS) (n=54). After chemotherapy, 84% of patients underwent mastectomy, 95% were given radiotherapy and 55% tamoxifen. Immunohistochemistry data (ER, PR, ERBB2, P53) on pre-chemotherapy specimens suggested strong differences between IBC and non-IBC. The rate of pathological complete response to chemotherapy was 26% (27% with HDC and 17% with conventional doses, not significant). No single factor was found predictive of response. With a median follow-up of 48 months after diagnosis, the 5-year projected disease-free survival (DFS) was 24% and overall survival (OS) 41%. In multivariate analysis, the strongest independent prognostic factor was the delivery of HDC. The 5-year DFS and OS of patients were respectively 28 and 50% with HDC and 15 and 18% with conventional chemotherapy. These results and comparisons with other series of patients suggest a role for HDC with HSCS as part of the therapeutic approach in IBC. Further prospective studies are required to confirm it.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine the maximum tolerated dose of the combination of Carboplatin and Caelyx, a pegylated liposomal doxorubicin, with promising activities in various solid tumors. PATIENTS AND METHODS Twenty-two patients with various advanced solid tumors were included. Three dose levels of Caelyx were explored: 30, 35 and 40 mg/m2 in association with a fixed dose of Carboplatin (AUC 5) every 3 weeks. Dose escalation followed a modified continuous reassessment method. RESULTS Dose-limiting toxicities were almost exclusively hematological: 3 febrile neutropenia, 1 grade 4 neutropenia lasting more than 7 days and 2 grade 4 thrombopenia were observed. Grade 4 neutropenia and febrile neutropenia were observed in 20 and 10% of courses, respectively. The median interval between courses was 25 days after cycle 1 and 27-28 days after subsequent cycles. Palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia, mucositis and other non hematological toxicities were mild and uncommon. One patient experienced a severe anaphylactic reaction immediately after Caelyx infusion. No clinical heart dysfunction was observed. Three patients responded to therapy including 2 clinical complete responses in relapsing ovarian cancer. CONCLUSION The recommended dose for future studies is Caelyx 35 mg/m2 + Carboplatin AUC 5 every 3 or 4 weeks. Antitumor activity, especially in ovarian cancer, warrants further investigation in phase II studies.
