Abstract:
Objective To observe the long-term effect,adverse reaction and cosmetic outcome of early-stage breast cancer with hypofractionated whole-breast irradiation (HF-WBI) after breast-conserving surgery.Methods A total of 206 patients with stage 0-Ⅱ breast cancer after breast-conserving surgery were included in Shandong Cancer Hospital Affiliated to Shandong University from May 2014 to August 2017.According to radiotherapy fraction,patients were divided into HF-WBI group and conventional whole-breast irradiation (CF-WBI) group.In HF-WBI group,116 patients received whole-breast radiation to 42.56 Gy in 16 fractions followed by tumor bed boost of 9 Gy in 3 fractions or 10 Gy in 5 fractions.In CF-WBI group,90 patients received whole breast radiation to 50 Gy in 25 fractions followed by tumor bed boost of 10 Gy in 5 fractions.The 2-year local recurrence rate,2-year mortality rate,acute adverse reaction,late adverse reaction and cosmetic outcome of the two groups were analyzed.Results The 2-year local recurrence rates of HF-WBI group and CF-WBI group were 0.86% (1/116) and 2.22% (2/90) respectively,and there was no significant difference between the two groups (x2 =0.049,P =0.824).The 2-year mortality rates of the two groups were 0.86% (1/116) and 0 (0/90) respectively,and there was no significant difference (P > 0.999).There were 108 cases (93.1%) in HF-WBI group and 84 cases (93.3%) in CF-WBI group with grade 0-1 acute dermatitis,and 8 cases (6.9%) and 6 cases (6.7%) with grade 2-3 respectively,with no statistically significant difference (x2 =0.004,P =0.948).There were 97 cases (83.6%) in HF-WBI group and 79 cases (87.8%) in CF-WBI group with grade 0-1 bone marrow suppression,and 19 cases (16.4%)and 11 cases (12.2%) with grade 2-4 respectively,with no statistically significant difference (x2 =0.704,P =0.401).In the two groups,there were 1 case (0.9%) and 3 cases (3.3%) with grade 1-2 radiation pneumonitis,and 115 cases (99.1%) and 87 cases (96.7%) with no radiation pneumonitis respectively,and the difference was not statistically significant (x2 =1.626,P =0.202).There was 1 case (0.9%,1.1%) with grade 1 breast edema in each group,and 115 cases (99.1%) and 89 cases (98.9%) did not occur breast edema,with no statistically significant difference (x2 =0.033,P =0.857).In the late adverse reactions,there were 5 cases (4.3%) and 3 cases (3.3%) with skin pigmentation in HF-WBI group and CF-WBI group respectively.There were 2 cases (1.7%,2.2%) with grade 1 subcutaneous tissue fibrosis in each group,and there were 1 case (0.8%) and 2 cases (2.2%) with grade 1 pulmonary fibrosis respectively.The differences between the two groups were not statistically significant (x2 =0.000,P > 0.999;x2 =0.000,P > 0.999;x2 =0.049,P =0.824).The 6-month,1-year and 2-year cosmetic outcome good rates in HF-WBI and CF-WBI group were 96.5% (111/115) and 93.3% (84/90),92.1% (105/114) and 90.0% (81/90),91.4% (53/58) and 87.2% (41/47) respectively.The differences between the two groups were not statistically significant (x2 =0.526,P =0.468;x2 =0.277,P =0.599;x2 =0.476,P =0.490).The whole course of radiotherapy time in HF-WBI group was 25 days or 29 days,which was significantly shorter than the 40 days of CF-WBI group.Conclusion HF-WBI after breast-conserving surgery has the similar long-term effect,acute and late adverse reaction and cosmetic outcome compared with CF-WBI,and the treatment time is significantly shorter.It can be further promoted as the optimal adjuvant radiotherapy for early-stage breast cancer after breast-conserving surgery.
