- Abstract
- Introduction
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of upfront surgery followed by radiation therapy (RT) for ipsilateral supraclavicular (SCN) and/or internal mammary (IMN) node-positive breast cancer.
Materials and Methods
One hundred fifty-eight patients were included; among these, 91 patients were SCN-positive, 54 were IMN-positive, and 13 were SCN- and IMN-positive. Patients underwent breast conserving surgery (n = 74) or mastectomy (n = 84) followed by systemic therapy, and adjuvant RT to whole breast/chest wall with or without regional nodal RT. Regarding regional treatments for SCN and IMN, SCN excision was performed in 59 (37.3%) patients, IMN excision in 10 (6.3%) patients, SCN RT in 143 (90.5%) patients, and IMN RT in 68 (43.0%) patients.
Results
The median duration of follow-up was 72 months (range, 7-182 months). There were 20 locoregional recurrences and 45 distant metastases. In-field failure was observed only in SCN (n = 8), and 6 of these patients initially underwent SCN excision. The 5-year locoregional recurrence-free survival, disease-free survival (DFS), and overall survival rates were 87.3%, 71.6%, and 89.7%, respectively. Neither SCN excision nor SCN RT dose ≥ 54 Gy improved locoregional control (P = .927 and P = .693, respectively) or DFS (P = .394 and P = .686, respectively). Having ≥ 10 involved axillary lymph nodes was the only independent prognosticator for DFS after adjusting for covariates (P = .003).
Conclusion
Regional control rate in initially involved SCN and/or IMN was acceptable in patients treated with upfront surgery followed by systemic therapy plus adjuvant RT. More aggressive regional therapy such as SCN excision did not improve locoregional control or survival.
