Breast cancer multifocality-multicentricityand locoregional recurrance.
Background: The impact of multifocality(MF) and multicentricity (MC) on locoregional (LR) control for invasive breastcancer, and the optimal local treatment strategy for these tumors, is unknown.In particular, there is disagreement in the literature regarding the use ofBreast Conservation Therapy (BCT). We evaluated a large single institutioncohort of MF and MC breast cancers to determine if they had inferior LR controlrate when compared to their unifocal counterparts. Methods: MF and MC weredefined pathologically as more than one lesion in the same quadrant and morethan one lesion in separate quadrants, respectively. Patients were categorizedby presence or absence of MF or MC disease and by the LR treatment modalityreceived – BCT (n5256), mastectomy alone (n5466), or mastectomy plus post-mastectomyradiation therapy (n5184). 10 patients who underwent BCT for MC disease againstphysician advice were excluded. MF and MC tumors were analyzed both as a groupand as separate entities. Kaplan-Meier product limit method was used tocalculate 5-year LR control rate. Cox proportional hazards models were fit todetermine independent associations of MF/MC disease with LR control. Results:Median follow up was 52 months. Out of 3722 patients with stage I-III diseasewho did not receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy, 906 (24%) had MF (n5673) or MC(n5233) disease. 5-year rate of LR control rate was 99% in the MF group, 96% inthe MC group, and 98% in the unifocal group, (P 5 0.44). Subset analysisrevealed no statistical difference in LR control regardless of the type of LRtreatment, (P 5 0.67 in the BCT group, P 5 0.37 in the mastectomy alone group,and P 5 0.29 in the mastectomy plus post-mastectomy radiation therapy group).There were 21 in-breast recurrences after BCT (8.2%). After controlling forother risk factors, MF and MC did not have an independent impact on LR controlrate. Conclusions: MF and MC disease are not independent risk factors for LRrecurrence. Patients with MF and MC breast cancer had similar rates of LRcontrol to their unifocal counterparts, regardless of LR treatment modality.Our data suggest that BCT is a safe option for patients with MF tumors and thatMF or MC disease alone is not an indication for post-mastectomy radiationtherapy. |
