Abstract
e12592 Background: During last decade, therapeutic arsenal has expanded for metastatic breast cancer (mBC), but few data are available about mTNBC, a poor prognosis subtype. In 2014, UNICANCER (composed of 18 French Comprehensive Cancer Centers) launched the Epidemiological Strategy and Medical Economics (ESME) program to centralize real-world data. This base represents a great opportunity to update the outcomes and the treatment practice patterns of this population. Methods: The ESME-mBC database was built from information systems, treatment databases and patients’ electronic files including quality control processes. All pts who initiated treatment for mBC between 01-Jan-2008 and 31-Dec-2014 were selected. The primary objective of this study was to assess overall survival (OS) of mTNBC pts. TNBC status was defined as ER and PR < 10% in both primary and metastatic disease, as well as the absence of overexpression or amplification of HER2. The secondary objectives were to describe the characteristics of this population, clinical management (duration and sequence of treatments) and to evaluate the prognostic value of several clinical factors (age, distant disease free interval, location and number of metastatic sites) Results: Among 16703 pts in the ESME-mBC database, 2368 (14%) had mTNBC. Median OS over this time period was 14.8 months (95% CI 14-15.6). Median age at diagnosis of mBC was 57 years. For the pts who relapsed, median metastasis free interval was 24 months, while 25.5% of the pts were de novo metastatic. 61% of the pts presented visceral metastasis and 12% had cerebral metastasis as first metastatic site. The pattern of metastatic involvement (visceral and cerebral) and a short metastasis free interval ( < 24 months) were the most important prognostic factors in multivariate analysis. The description of treatment sequences (duration, prognostic value) will be presented. Conclusions: In this real-life setting database, mTNBC remain of poor prognosis despite a trend for a better OS than the historical data available (12-13 ms). This TNBC ESME cohort is one of the largest available and offers an updated assessment of the outcomes of this population.
