Metronomic chemotherapy (mCHT) in metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients: results of the VICTOR-6 study

2021

Abstract Purpose Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) represents a subtype of breast cancer which lacks the expression of oestrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2): TNBC accounts for approximately 20% of newly diagnosed breast cancers and is associated with younger age at diagnosis, greater recurrence risk and shorter survival time. Therapeutic options are very scarce. Aim of the present analysis is to provide further insights into the clinical activity of metronomic chemotherapy (mCHT), in a real-life setting. Methods We used data included in the VICTOR-6 study for the present analysis. VICTOR-6 is an Italian multicentre retrosp…

Metronomic chemotherapy (mCHT) in HER2-ve advanced breast cancer (ABC) patients (pts): What has changed over the time? Preliminary results of the VIC…

2017

e12552 Background: mCHT is the minimum biologically effective dose of a chemotherapeutic agent, given at regular dosing regimen with no prolonged drug free interval, that leads to anti-tumor activity. Old regimens included Cyclophosphamide-Methotrexate (CM), whereas in the last years new regimens, such as Vinorelbine (VRL) and Capecitabine (CAPE)-based have been developed. Aim of this observational retrospective ongoing study is to describe the use of mCHT in ABC pts across 5 years and the clinical characteristics of the pts together with efficacy of old (CM-like) vs new (VRL/CAPE-based) metronomic regimens in terms of response and disease control. Methods: We retrospectively identified fr…
