Abstract:

Objective

To explore the prognostic factors for breast cancer patients with ipsilateral supraclavicular lymph node metastasis receiving surgical dissection of supraclavicular lymph nodes combined with radiotherapy.

Methods

The clinical data of 68 breast cancer patients with synchronous ipsilateral supraclavicular lymph node metastasis in the Department of Radiotherapy, Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University from December 2009 to March 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. The local treatment of metastatic supraclavicular lymph node was supraclavicular lymph nodes dissection combined with radiotherapy in all patients. The main indicators were locoregional recurrence-free survival (LRFS), distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS), progression-free survival (PFS) and OS. The Kaplan-Meier method and Log-rank test were used for univariate analysis. The Cox proportional hazard regression model was used for multivariate analysis.

Results

The median follow-up was 92 months (58-122 months). The 5-year LRFS, DMFS, PFS and OS rate of all patients were 79.2%, 65.8%, 55.8% and 64.7%, respectively. Multivariate analysis found that the number of metastatic axillary lymph nodes ≥ 10 was a risk factor for 5-year DMFS (compared with patients with no axillary lymph node metastasis: HR=8.151, 95%CI: 1.011-65.726, P=0.049); Ki-67> 30%, number of dissected supraclavicular lymph nodes≥10 and number of metastatic supraclavicular lymph nodes ≥2 were risk factors for 5-year PFS (HR: 6.674, 95%CI: 2.291-19.443, P=0.001; HR: 2.605, 95%CI: 1.039-6.528, P=0.041; HR: 2.958, 95%CI: 1.155-7.577, P=0.024). If the number of dissected supraclavicular lymph nodes was less than 10, no significant difference was found in 5-year LRFS, DMFS, PFS and OS rate between patients receiving supraclavicular radiotherapy dose of 50 Gy and patients receiving supraclavicular radiotherapy dose > 50 Gy(χ2=0.117, 1.735, 2.754、3.073, all P>0.050). If the number of dissected supraclavicular lymph nodes was no less than 10, the patients receiving supraclavicular radiotherapy dose of 50 Gy had a significantly higher 5-year DMFS rate compared with patients receiving supraclavicular radiotherapy dose >50 Gy(χ2=4.808, P=0.028).

Conclusion

For breast cancer patients with ipsilateral supraclavicular lymph node metastasis, the number of dissected supraclavicular lymph nodes ≥ 10 and number of metastatic supraclavicular lymph nodes ≥2 indicate a poor PFS, and the increase of supraclavicular radiotherapy dose cannot improve the prognosis of patients.
