Abstract
Background: Outcome of the BRIGHTNESS study, presented at ESMO 2021, demonstrated the efficacy of adding Carboplatin to the Neoadjuvant chemotherapy in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients. The regimen of Paclitaxel - Carboplatin + Doxorubicin-Cyclophosphamide (TC-AC) chemotherapy has been applied in Neoadjuvant chemotherapy treatment for TNBC patients at K Hospital and has shown promising clinical practice results.
Methods: Cross-sectional study on 31 triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients underwent treatment with Neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimen of TC-AC at K Hospital from January 2021 to January 2024. The primary endpoint was the total complete pathological response (ptCR). The secondary endpoint was safety of TC-AC regimen.
Results: The median age was 44,2 (range 30 - 71 years). Of these 31 patients, 4 (12.8%) were at stage II, 27 (87,2%) were at stage III, 3 (9,7%) patients carried mutated BRCA1 and/or BRCA2 genes, 1 (3,2%) patient carried mutated PALB2. Total pathological complete response (tpCR) was achieved in 14 (46,7%) of the evaluated patients. Grade 3 or 4 hematological toxicity occurred in 8 (25,8 %) patients with anemia. Grade 3 or 4 non-hematological toxicities 12 (38,7%) patients include hepatotoxicity, fatigue, and diarrhea.
Conclusions: These findings support the TC-AC neoadjuvant chemotherapy for early-stage TNBC with improvement in tpCR and manageable safety profile.
