Abstract Background:Several prospective interventional studies have proved the efficacy and safety of trastuzumab in adjuvant treatment in HER2positive breast cancer,while limited data existed to address the treatment patterns and real-world performance of trastuzumab in early HER2 positive breast cancer in China. Methods:We retrospectively analyzed all the pts who were diagnosed with HER2-positive breast cancer,underwent surgery and received adjuvant treatment in National Cancer Center from 2000 to 2012.The treatment patterns and disease free survival (DFS),overall survival (OS) were analyzed respectively. Results:A total of 1398 HER2 positive breast cancer pts were identified.The median follow-up time was 79.1 months.68.5% pts received chemotherapy alone,3.4% pts only received mono trastuzumab,28.2% pts received trastuzumab plus chemotherapy.Among 433 trastuzumab treated pts,64.7% received concurrent trastuzumab with chemotherpy,and 35.3% pts received sequential trastuzumab with chemotherapy Baseline characteristics by Chemotherapy alone and Chemotherapy + Trastuzumab.No(%) of patients characteristicTrastuzumab- (N=957)Trastuzumab+ (N=441)Total (N=1398)Age (years) &amp;lt;=3596 ( 10.0)44 ( 10.0)140 ( 10.0)36 - 50434 ( 45.4)244 ( 55.3)678 ( 48.5)&amp;gt;50427 ( 44.6)153 ( 34.7)580 ( 41.5)Histologic grade I15 ( 1.6)7 ( 1.6)22 ( 1.6)I-II,II480 ( 50.2)224 ( 50.8)704 ( 50.4)II-III,III285 ( 29.8)166 ( 37.6)451 ( 32.3)IDC148 ( 15.5)29 ( 6.6)177 ( 12.7)Other29 ( 3.0)15 ( 3.4)44 ( 3.1)Clinical stage 026 ( 2.7)16 ( 3.6)42 ( 3.0)I259 ( 27.1)108 ( 24.5)367 ( 26.3)II434 ( 45.4)196 ( 44.4)630 ( 45.1)III238 ( 24.9)121 ( 27.4)359 ( 25.7)Hormone receptor status Positive635 ( 66.4)256 ( 58.0)891 ( 63.7)Negative322 ( 33.6)185 ( 42.0)507 ( 36.3) .Trastuzumab plus chemo had significantly longer DFS compared with chemo alone.(85.03%vs72.15%,hazard ratios,HR=0.531,95% confidence interval,95%CI:0.406-0.696, p&amp;lt;0.001).In addition,the concurrent trasuzumab showed the trend with longer DFS compared to the sequential regimen(86.07%vs82.35%,HR=0.843,95%CI:0.515-1.378, p=0.495).Age,tumor size, lymph node status,clinical stage were associated with DFS Results of Cox regression hazard model with treatment groups and patient characteristics on DFSGroupHR95% CIP valueTreatment group Concurrent Trastuzumab0.8430.515-1.3780.495Sequential Trastuzumab Chemotherapy+Trastuzumab0.5310.406-0.696&amp;lt;0.001Chemotherapy alone Age group (years) 0.001&amp;lt;=351.6501.198-2.2730.00236 - 500.8880.702-1.1220.319&amp;gt;50 Histologic grade &amp;lt;0.001I0.5200.210-1.2880.158I-II,II0.5040.379-0.671&amp;lt;0.001II-III,III0.5320.390-0.725&amp;lt;0.001Other0.5140.264-0.9970.049IDC Clinical stage &amp;lt;0.00100.2610.107-0.6370.003I0.2860.207-0.395&amp;lt;0.001II0.4800.379-0.607&amp;lt;0.001III Hormone receptor status 0.022Positive0.7730.621-0.9620.021Negative .OS was also prolonged in trastuzumab plus chemotherapy compared with chemotherapy alone.(93.20%vs85.45%,HR=0.561,95%CI:0.377-0.835, p=0.004). Conclusions:Our study revealed that,there were still more than half of HER2-positive breast cancer pts couldn't reach anti-HER2 therapy in China,the early stage HER2-positive breast cancer pts could significantly benefit from trastuzumab adjuvant therapy in real-world setting.
