Abstract

Abstract Objective To discuss the optimizing selection of maintenance treatment after xeloda-contained chemotherapy regimen being applicated in HER-2 negative, HR positive relapsing metastatic breast cancer(MBC) patients, and contrast the curative effect of maintenance treatment with xeloda or endocrine. Methods 119 patients with HER-2 negative, HR positive were enrolled during 2009-2013.All patients taking the xeloda contained chemotherapy regimens to obtain CR,PR or SD were randomly divided into group A(65 cases, maintenance capecitabine therapy 800-1000mg/ m2 bid, orally, Days 1 ∼ 14, q3w)and group B(54 cases, a switch to maintenance endocrine therapy). Endpoints include overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). Results The ages, menopausal status, number of metastases and treatment line numbers had no statistical differences between two groups, and the p value of two therapy co-operative groups was 0.002. There were 37 patients(56.9%)using TX and 28(43.1%)using NX in therapy co-operative group A. There were 39 patients (72.2%)using TX, 9(16.7%)using NX and 6(6%) using regimen containing xeloda in therapy co-operative group B. Progression-free survival was 8 months in patients who follow by xeloda and 12 months in those who follow by endocrine (p<0.01).Conclusion Endocrine therapy after xeloda-contained chemotherapy regimen tend to be more effective than single xeloda therapy for patients with HER-2 negative, HR positive. This results request to be verified by advanced OS data, which was needed to in-depth study in clinic and explore relevant biological indicators.
