    Primary metastatic breast cancer (PMBC) comprises 3-10 % of all BCs. PMBC is a heterogeneous disease. To date, little is known about the tumor characteristics, treatment results, and overall survival ( OS) of patients with PMBC. Patients were considered to have PMBC if distant metastasis was evident within 3 months of the initial diagnosis of BC. Between September 2007 and April 2013, 466 PMBC patients were included in this study and analyzed retrospectively. The median age of the patients was 50 (18- 90) years. Bone/ soft tissue metastases were more frequent in the hormone receptor (HR)(+) human epidermal growth factor receptor ( HER) 2(-) group compared with the HR(-) HER2(-) and HR(-) HER2(-) groups ( p < 0.001), whereas visceral organ metastasis was more frequent in the HR(-) HER2(-) and HR(-) HER2(-) groups ( p < 0.001). The OS was affected by Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status, tumor histology, receptor status, and the site of metastasis ( p < 0.001, p < 0.001, p < 0.001, and p = 0.011, respectively). According to the first-line systemic treatment choices of the patients, the longest median OS was observed in the HR(?) HER2(-) group who received hormonotherapy combined with trastuzumab after chemotherapy ( 86 months, 95 % CI 23.8-148.1) and the shortest median OS was observed in the HR(-) HER2(-) group who received chemotherapy only ( 24 months, 95 % CI 17.9-30.0) ( p < 0.001). Bisphosphonate therapy or radiotherapy had no significant effect on OS ( p = 0.733, 0.603). In multivariate analysis, hormonotherapy, chemotherapy + trastuzumab, trastuzumab + hormonotherapy following chemotherapy, and surgery were the most important prognostic factors for OS, respectively ( p < 0.001, p = 0.025, p = 0.027, p = 0.029). The general characteristics of the primary tumor are important for the prognosis and survival of patients with PMBC. Interestingly, patients who underwent primary breast tumor surgery, even those at the metastatic stage upon admission, had the longest survival.

    Lapatinib Plus Capecitabine for Brain Metastases in Patients With Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2-Positive Advanced Breast Cancer: A Review of the Anatolian Society of Medical Oncology (ASMO) Experience
    (Karger, 2012) Çetin, Bülent; Benekli, Mustafa; Öksüzoğlu, Berna; Koral, Lokman; Ulaş, Arife; Dane, Faysal; Türker, İbrahim; Kaplan, Mehmet A.; Koca, Doğan; Boruban, Cem; Yılmaz, Burçak; Sevinç, Alper; Berk, Veli; Işıkdoğan, Abdurrahman; Uncu, Doğan; Harputluoğlu, Hakan; Coşkun, Uğur; Büyükberber, Süleyman
    Background: We investigated the clinical outcome of patients with brain metastases (BMs) from human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-positive (HER2+) metastatic breast cancer (MBC) treated with lapatinib and capecitabine (LC). Patients and Methods: A total of 203 patients with HER2+ MBC, who had progressed after trastuzumab-containing chemotherapy, were retrospectively evaluated in 11 centers between September 2009 and May 2011. 85 patients who had developed BMs before the initiation of treatment with LC were included. All patients had received prior cranial radiotherapy. All patients were treated with the combination of lapatinib (1,250 mg/day continuously) and capecitabine (2,000 mg/m(2) on days 1-14 of a 21-day cycle). Results: The median follow-up was 10.5 months (range 1-38 months). An overall response rate of 27.1% was achieved, including complete response in 2 (2.4%) and partial response in 21 (24.7%) patients. Median progression-free survival was 7 months (95% confidence interval (CI) 5-9), with a median overall survival of 13 months (95% Cl 9-17). The most common side effects were hand-foot syndrome (58.8%), nausea (55.3%), fatigue (48.9%), anorexia (45.9%), rash (36.5%), and diarrhea (35.4%). Grade 3-4 toxicities were hand-foot syndrome (9.4%), diarrhea (8.3%), fatigue (5.9%), and rash (4.7%). There were no symptomatic cardiac events. Conclusion: LC combination therapy was effective and well-tolerated in patients with HER2+ MBC with BMs, who had progressive disease after trastuzumab-containing therapy.
