Short and long-term effects on survival in breast cancer patients treated by primary chemotherapy: an updated analysis of a randomized trial.

Abstract:

:A potential advantage of primary over adjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer survival had been proposed on theoretical grounds. In 1994, early results of the S6-trial comparing primary chemotherapy vs. adjuvant chemotherapy for operable breast cancer in 390 premenopausal patients had shown significant improvement in survival of the primary chemotherapy arm (p = 0.04). An updated analysis conducted in 1995 showed the disappearance of this difference between the two arms (p = 0.18). In the present analysis, we investigated the potential short and long-term benefits attributable to primary chemotherapy by applying weighted logrank tests designed to assess specifically these effects. Results were compared to those obtained with the classical logrank test. At a median follow-up of 105 months, a significant short-term survival benefit (p = 0.02) in favor of the primary chemotherapy has been shown. However, no long-term survival benefit (p = 0.36) could be documented. The classical logrank test had revealed no significant difference (p = 0.24) between the two groups but the proportional hazard assumption being rejected (p = 0.04), the efficiency of this test can be questioned. Results using the present analysis suggested that primary chemotherapy delayed early death rates, without significantly modifying long-term event rates. It emphasizes that a short-term effect which is not necessarily associated with a long-term benefit may be seen at an early evaluation and disappear later on.
