  4. There is current consensus that postmastectomy radiation therapy is indicated for patients whose tumors are either > 5cm and/or >= 4 positive lymph nodes. • Whether adjuvant radiation therapy should be used for patients with early stage breast cancer with tumors < 5cm and up to 3 positive axillary lymph nodes treated with mastectomy and systemic therapy is controversial.

  5. Aim • Thus the purpose of this retrospective study was to determine if adjuvant radiation therapy had an impact on survival for patients with early stage breast cancer with up to 3 positive axillary lymph nodes treated with surgery and systemic therapy

  6. Methodology Stage I and II Breast Cancer Mastectomy + no Radiation Segmental Resection + Radiation

  7. Methodology • Database : M.D Anderson Breast Cancer Management Systems Database • Inclusion criteria : • Female patients • Diagnosed between 1980 and 2007 • Surgery • T1/T2 N0 or T1/T2/N1 • Tumors <5 cm • Nodes <4 • Exclusion criteria : • Male patients • More than one primary • Hormone receptor positive who did not receive hormone treatment • Mastectomy and radiation therapy • Segmental resection and no radiation

  8. Outcome Measures • Follow-up cut-off was 30th December 2008. • Outcome measures: • Local-Regional Disease Free Survival (LRDFS): Calculated from the date of diagnosis to the date of first locoregional metastases or last follow-up. • Distant Disease Free Survival (DDFS): Calculated from the date of diagnosis to the date of first distant metastases or last follow-up.

  9. Statistical Analysis • Kaplan-Meier method used to calculate outcome and segmental resection with radiation patients were compared to those with mastectomy without radiation using two-sided log rank tests. • Cox proportional hazards was used adjusting for differences in patient and tumor characteristics between the two groups.

  11. Results

  12. Multivariate Analysis of LRDFS • Models adjusted for age, grade, hormone receptor status, HER2 status, • menopausal status, race, neoadjuvant chemo, anthracycline use, taxane use, • and lymphovascular invasion

  13. LRDFS Among LN Negative Groups T1N0 (N=1191) T2N0 (N=997) 5- Year Estimates Segmental : 92% Mastectomy: 91% P=0.93 5- Year Estimates Segmental : 91% Mastectomy: 89% P=0.99

  14. LRDFS Among LN Positive Groups T1N1 (N=876) T1N2 (N=676) 5- Year Estimates Segmental : 91% Mastectomy: 90% P=0.65 5- Year Estimates Segmental : 91% Mastectomy: 87% P=0.009

  15. Adjusted Hazard Ratios for LRDFS among various subgroups Forrest Plot For Sub-Groups Favors Mastectomy Favors Segmental Whole Cohort T1N0 T1N0 T2N0 T2N0 T1N1 T1N1 T2N1 T2N1 No Neoadjuvant group (HR = 2.62 , 95% CI 1.26-5.46, P =0.00099 Hazard Ratios LDFS

  16. Multivariate Analysis for DDFS • Models adjusted for age, grade, hormone receptor status, HER2 status, • menopausal status, race, neoadjuvant chemo, anthracycline use, taxane use, • and lymphovascular invasion

  17. DDFS Among LN Negative Groups T1N0 (N=1191) T2N0 (N=997) 5- Year Estimates Segmental : 87% Mastectomy: 86% P=0.11 5- Year Estimates Segmental : 85% Mastectomy: 80% P=0.38

  18. DDFS Among LN Positive Groups T1N1(N=876) T2N1(N=676) 5- Year Estimates Segmental : 90% Mastectomy: 85% P=0.004 5- Year Estimates Segmental : 77% Mastectomy: 68% P=0.0177

  19. Adjusted Hazard Ratios for DDFS among various subgroups Favors Mastectomy Favors Segmental T1N0 T2N0 T1N1 HR = 1.71 , 95% CI 1.15-2.52, P =0.007 T2N1 No Neoadjuvant group (HR = 1.54, 95% CI 0.98-2.23, P =0.061)

  20. Conclusions • Patients with tumors <5 cm and 1 to 3 positive lymph have an increase risk of loco-regional and distant disease recurrence when radiation is not used as a component of their local-regional treatment. • The benefit of radiation appears to be most pronounced for patients with T2N1 disease with the benefit still unclear for those with T1N1 disease.

  21. Limitations • We acknowledge the following limitations: • Retrospective nature of the study • Comparing women who underwent segmental resection with radiation to a comparable cohort who underwent mastectomy to assess the benefit of post mastectomy radiation may not be ideal. • However the results of our study are hypothesis generating and will need to be confirmed in prospective randomized clinical trials.
