The Impact

Background. To investigate the outcomes of primary squamous cell carcinoma (PSCC) of the breast undergoing radical surgery with or without adjuvant radiotherapy (RT). Materials and Methods. A population cohort with histologically diagnosed PSCC of the breast was identified from the SEER database. The Kaplan–Meier method and Cox-regression proportional hazards model was used to assess the impact of surgical types with or without adjuvant RT on the cause-specific survival (CSS) and overall survival (OS). A retrospective analysis of PSCC between Jan 2010 and Dec 2018 from our institute was performed. Results. A total of 515 patients with PSCC of the breast were included, 254 patients treated with mastectomy (MAST) alone, 78 with MAST + RT, 87 with lumpectomy (LUMP) alone, and 96 with LUMP + RT. The median follow-up time was 118 months (range: 0–379 months). In the multivariate Cox analyses, LUMP + adjuvant RT was an independent prognostic factor for CSS (p = 0.028) and OS (p = 0.048). Patients treated with LUMP + RT had better survival rates than patients who underwent lumpectomy (CSS, p = 0.034; OS, p = 0.0004), MAST alone (CSS, p = 0.0001; OS, p < 0.0001), and MAST + RT (CSS, p = 0.0001; OS, p = 0.0078), while postmastectomy RT did not significantly improve OS (p = 0.062) and CSS (p = 0.67) when compared to MAST alone. In addition, a total of 28 patients with PSCC of the breast were identified from our institute. All of these patients presented with estrogen receptor-negative type, and three of them had HER-2-positive PSCC; the median tumor size was 3 cm (range: 0.5–15 cm). Eight patients were treated with LUMP + adjuvant RT, thirteen with MAST, and seven with MAST + RT. Until the last follow-up of Sep 2021, 26 patients with PSCC were still alive and free of breast cancer, excepting that one patient treated with MAST and one patient with MAST + RT died from breast cancer. Conclusion. PSCC of the breast after radical surgery has a poor prognosis. Adjuvant RT after LUMP significantly improves survival of patients with PSCC of the breast. Further studies are still needed to investigate the role of adjuvant RT in PSCC of the breast after mastectomy.

Therapeutic Effects

e16033 Background: Camrelizumab has been approved as a standard therapy in the second-line treatment of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). This study aimed to explore the efficacy and safety of camrelizumab combined with commonly used neoadjuvant chemotherapy (paclitaxel and platinum) in neoadjuvant treatment of ESCC. Methods: In this single-arm, phase Ⅱ study, patients with advanced ESCC who were expected to receive neoadjuvant therapy followed by radical surgery were recruited. The patients received 2-4 cycles of camrelizumab (200mg, iv, q3w) in combination with paclitaxel (155mg/m2, iv, q3w) and nedaplatin (80mg/m2, iv, q3w) as neoadjuvant therapy, and the therapeutic effects were determined every 2 cycles. The radical surgery was performed on patients whose tumors were evaluated as resectable. The primary endpoint was pCR, and the secondary endpoints were objective response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR). Results: From May 2020 to January 2021, 24 patients with a median age of 60.5 years (50-73) were enrolled. Among them, 21 patients were available for efficacy analysis, of which 1 achieved complete response (CR), 7 achieved partial response (PR), and 13 had stable disease (SD). The ORR was 38.1% and DCR was 100%. The tumor in 10 patients shrank significantly after neoadjuvant therapy and these patients preferred radiotherapy instead of surgery as the radical therapeutic method. 2 patients abandoned surgery because of personal reasons. 2 patients were in the process of neoadjuvant therapy and had not undergone surgery yet. The remaining 7 patients underwent radical surgery and 4 patients (57.14%) achieved pCR (pT0N0M0). The main treatment-related grade 3/4 adverse event (AE) was neutropenia (1/21). All the AEs were manageable. The average intraoperative blood loss was 221mL and the average hospitalization time after operation was 12.7 days (range 8-19 days). No anastomotic leakage and treatment-related death occurred. Conclusions: Camrelizumab in combination with paclitaxel and platinum as a neoadjuvant therapy was well tolerated. The pCR rate of 57.14% was higher than the expected 40%. This encouraging result promoted us to continue this phase Ⅱ study. Clinical trial information: ChiCTR2000033761.
