Cancer Research on Prevention and Treatment 2022;49(8):812-819
TNBC is a special type of breast cancer with strong aggressiveness and poor prognosis. Chemotherapy is still the main treatment for TNBC, due to poor efficacy of endocrine therapy and targeted therapy. However, TNBC is a kind of heterogeneous disease, so it is urgent to study the precise molecular types and explore new precision treatment. This paper will summarize the results of clinical trials and analyze treatment strategies for TNBC, including surgical treatment, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy and immunotherapy, in order to provide evidence for clinical management.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the role of clinical pharmacists in the diagnosis and treatment of liposome-induced hand-food syndrome (HFS),and to provide reference for rational use of liposome preparation in clinic. METHODS :One case of elderly female patient with breast cancer ,admitted to our hospital suffered from HFS (grade 2)after treated with Doxorubicin hydrochloride liposome ;after successful therapy ,the patient had skin symptoms (grade 3)again due to Paclitaxel liposome ,and clinical pharmacist judged the recurrence of HFS. For symptomatic treatment ,stopping the treatment and external use of hormone was suggested ,and whole-process pharmaceutical care was provided. The pathogenesis ,differential diagnosis ,risk factors and therapeutic drugs of HFS were summarized based on literature review and 2 case reports in the database. RESULTS :The physicians adopted the suggestion of clinical pharmacists ;the patient ’s symptoms improved significantly on the third day and disappeared after 1 week. Combined with literature analysis and 2 case reports ,doxorubicin liposome metabolized more slowly than non liposomes in palms and soles of feet ,resulting in accumulation of doxorubicin in sweat duct and stratum corneum ,aggravating skin damage and leading to HFS. Sequential paclitaxel in liposome form may also lead to the accumulation in eccrine duct ,further caused skin damage and induced HFS. CONCLUSIONS :Clinical pharmacists actively participate in the diagnosis and treatment of ADR , which is conducive to the rehabilitation of patients. At same time ,combination or sequential of Paclitaxel liposome with PLD should be avoided ,as it can lead to ADR as HFS.
