Résumé
BACKGROUND: Trastuzumab (T) combined with chemotherapy has been recently shown to improve outcome in HER2-positive breast cancer (BC). The aim of this study was to evaluate the toxic effects of concurrent radiation therapy (RT) and T administration in the adjuvant setting. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Data of 146 patients with stages II-III HER2-positive BC were recorded. Median age was 46 years. In all, 32 (23%) and 114 (77%) patients received a weekly and a 3-week T schedule, respectively. A median dose of 50 Gy was delivered after surgery. Internal mammary chain (IMC) was irradiated in 103 (71%) patients. RESULTS: Grade >2 dermatitis and esophagitis were noted in 51% and 12%, respectively. According to the Common Toxicity Criteria v3.0 scale and HERA (HERceptin Adjuvant) trial criteria, respectively, 10% and 6% of the patients had a grade >/=2 of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) decrease after RT. Multivariate analyses revealed two independent prognostic factors: weekly T administration (for LVEF decrease) and menopausal status (for dermatitis). Higher level of T cumulative dose (>1600 mg) was only borderline of statistical significance for acute esophagitis toxicity. CONCLUSION: We showed that weekly concurrent T and RT are feasible in daily clinical practice with, however, a decrease of LVEF. Cardiac volume sparing and patient selections for IMC irradiation are highly recommended. Longer follow-up is warranted to evaluate late toxic effects.
