Recent studies have demonstrated that the combination of Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 4/6 Inhibitor (CDK4/6i) and endocrine therapy (ET) is more effective than ET alone and significantly improves progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with hormone receptor-positive (HR+)/human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 negative (HER2-) breast cancer (BC). Palbociclib is the first CDK4/6i approved for use, and its clinical advantages have been shown. However, 30% of patients will continue to develop secondary drug resistance. Therefore, exploring the parameters that can predict the efficacy of Palbociclib and developing a clinical prediction model is essential for evaluating the prognosis of patients.

Purpose: Phyllodes tumors (PTs) are rare neoplasms with a certain risk of recurrence and/or metastasis. In clinical practice, there is a lack of high-quality clinical studies and unified guidelines to guide the treatment. Materials and Methods:All malignant and recurrence/metastasis PTs were retrospectively collected, which were diagnosed from 2008 to 2022.Results: A total of 82 patients were enrolled, including 69 malignant and 13 borderline tumors. 96.3% (79/82) received surgical treatment. During a median follow-up of 55.5 months, 20 patients (20/82, 24.4%) had distant metastasis (DM), while 32 (32/82, 39.0%) had local recurrence (LR). Univariate analysis showed the survival of PTs was associated with surgical methods (p < 0.001), tumor size (p = 0.026), and biological behavior (p = 0.017), but not age at diagnosis. In relapsed borderline PTs, we did not find deaths due to disease progression. Patients with DM were all malignant PTs, with disease-progression occurring within 3 years in more than 80% of patients. Among salvage treatments, the combination of antiangiogenic drugs improved the prognosis to some extent, with a significant increase in mPFS (2.77 vs. 1.53 months), but no significant statistical results were obtained (p = 0.168). Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) was an independent predictor of the prognosis for malignant PTs (p = 0.001, HR = 1.203, 95%CI, 1.082-1.336). Conclusion: Borderline PTs rarely metastasize, and even if LR occurs, surgical resection can lead to long-term survival. In metastatic phyllodes tumors (MPT), systemic therapy is not effective, but antiangiogenic drugs may prolong survival.LDH is an independent prognostic factor for malignant PTs to identify high-risk tumors.
