Survival impact of primary tumor resection in de novo metastatic breast cancer patients (GEICAM/El Alamo Registry)

Summary: | The debate about surgical resection of primary tumor (PT) in
de novo
metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients persists. We explored this approach’s outcomes in patients included in a retrospective registry, named
El Álamo
, of breast cancer patients diagnosed in Spain (1990–2001). In this analysis we only included
de novo
MBC patients, 1415 of whom met the study’s criteria. Descriptive, Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analyses were carried out. Median age was 63.1 years, 49.2% of patients had single-organ metastasis (skin/soft tissue [16.3%], bone [33.8%], or viscera [48.3%]). PT surgery (S) was performed in 44.5% of the cases. S-group patients were younger, had smaller tumors, higher prevalence of bone and oligometastatic disease, and lower prevalence of visceral involvement. With a median follow-up of 23.3 months, overall survival (OS) was 39.6 versus 22.4 months (HR = 0.59, p |
