Abstract
Clinical guidance on recommended treatment for older patients with breast cancer is often ambiguous, particularly in the context of comorbidities and poor functional status. Older patients, aged 70 years and over, account for a substantial proportion of women with breast cancer yet are underrepresented in randomized controlled trials. This paper investigates the initiation of adjuvant chemotherapy and trastuzumab in older patients in routine care.Women, aged 50 years and over, newly diagnosed with human epidermal growth receptor 2 (HER2)-positive early invasive breast cancer from January 2014 to December 2017 were identified from the England Cancer Registry. Chemotherapy and trastuzumab use was obtained from the Systemic Anti-Cancer Therapy (SACT) dataset. Patient and tumor characteristics influential in treatment decision-making were included in multilevel mixed-effects logistic regression models.10% of women had HER2-positive tumors. Initiation of adjuvant chemotherapy and trastuzumab decreased with age from ≥70% among women aged 50-64 years to <15% among women aged 80+ years. Initiation varied additionally by tumor characteristics and number of comorbidities. Age remained a factor in treatment decisions despite favorable other factors, with lower use among women aged 70+ years. There was also marked variation across geographical regions.In women with operable HER2-positive early invasive breast cancer, adjuvant chemotherapy plus trastuzumab was started less frequently as age increased, regardless of tumor characteristics or comorbidity burden. There was substantial variation in the proportion of women who started these treatments across the country.
Pedoman klinis mengenai pengobatan yang direkomendasikan untuk pasien usia lanjut dengan kanker payudara sering kali ambigu, terutama dalam konteks komorbiditas dan status fungsional yang buruk. Pasien usia lanjut, berusia 70 tahun ke atas, mencakup proporsi yang substansial dari wanita dengan kanker payudara, namun kurang terwakili dalam uji acak terkendali. Makalah ini menyelidiki inisiasi kemoterapi ajuvan dan trastuzumab pada pasien usia lanjut dalam perawatan rutin. Wanita, berusia 50 tahun ke atas, yang baru didiagnosis dengan kanker payudara invasif dini positif *human epidermal growth receptor 2* (HER2) dari Januari 2014 hingga Desember 2017 diidentifikasi dari England Cancer Registry. Penggunaan kemoterapi dan trastuzumab diperoleh dari dataset Systemic Anti-Cancer Therapy (SACT). Karakteristik pasien dan tumor yang berpengaruh dalam pengambilan keputusan pengobatan dimasukkan ke dalam model regresi logistik efek campuran bertingkat. Sebanyak 10% wanita memiliki tumor HER2-positif. Inisiasi kemoterapi ajuvan dan trastuzumab menurun seiring bertambahnya usia dari ≥70% pada wanita berusia 50–64 tahun menjadi <15% pada wanita berusia 80+ tahun. Inisiasi tersebut juga bervariasi berdasarkan karakteristik tumor dan jumlah komorbiditas. Usia tetap menjadi faktor dalam keputusan pengobatan terlepas dari faktor-faktor lain yang menguntungkan, dengan penggunaan yang lebih rendah pada wanita berusia 70+ tahun. Terdapat pula variasi yang nyata di berbagai wilayah geografis. Pada wanita dengan kanker payudara invasif dini HER2-positif yang dapat dioperasi, kemoterapi ajuvan ditambah trastuzumab dimulai lebih jarang seiring bertambahnya usia, terlepas dari karakteristik tumor atau beban komorbiditas. Terdapat variasi substansial dalam proporsi wanita yang memulai pengobatan ini di seluruh negeri.
