Background: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy is currently mainly used for locally advanced breast cancer. However, there is currently no effective way to predict the prognosis of neoadjuvant chemotherapy patients. Methods: All relevant data before and after chemotherapy were collected and evaluate the efficacy of chemotherapy through RECIST1.1 and pathology. Survival curves were generated by the Kaplan-Meier method and compared using the log-rank test. A nomogram was developed using a binary logisti regression model with a cross validation. Results: A total of 158 patients were included in our study. The ORR was 64.6% (cCR, 3.8%; cPR, 60.8%). The pCR rates wer 12.0% for breast tumor and axillary nodes. The pCR rates were 17.1% for breast tumor and 30.4% for axillary nodes. Our study found that only differences in HER-2 status could predict different clinical efficacy, and clinical remission (CR+PR) was more likely to be achieved if HER-2 positive than negative (16.7% vs 7.5%, p=0.05). There was no significant difference in the clinical efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in age, clinical stage, and molecular classification of patients. In a single factor COX proportional hazard model study, it was found that ER positive relative to HR negative(HR 0.479,CI 95% 0.272-0.844, p=0.011), PR positive relative to PR negative (HR 0.423,CI 95% 0.235-0.763, p=0.004), HER-2 positive relative to HER-2 negative (HR 2.011, CI 95% 1.000-4.042, p=0.050), TNBC (HR 2.229, CI 95% 1.189-4.178, p=0.012), and HER-2 (HR 2.808, CI 95% 1.301-6.062, p=0.009) type are more effective than patients with Luminal type breast cancer 0btain a longer survival time, which is considered a protective factor. A nomogram was developed based on the clinical and statistically significant predictors. ROC curve for 3-year survial with area under the curve = 0.731 (95% confidence interval, 0.663-0.828); ROC curve for 5-year survial with area under the curve = 0.743 (95% confidence interval, 0.652-0.834); ROC curve for 10-year survial with area under the curve = 0.726 (95% confidence interval, 0.639-0.812). Conclusion: In conclusion, the hormone receptor status before chemotherapy can predict the prognosis of patients in advance, and we successfully constructed nomogram, which can help us predict the OS of patients with NAC.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
