摘要

Purpose: This study aimed to compare the effectiveness and safety of pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD)-based and epirubicin-based combination therapy regimen as neoadjuvant therapy for early breast cancer. Methods: Patients with stage I–III breast cancer who underwent neoadjuvant therapy followed by surgery between January 2018 and December 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. The primary outcome was pathological complete response (pCR) rate. The secondary outcome was radiologic complete response (rCR) rate. Outcomes were compared between treatment groups PLD-cyclophosphamide followed by docetaxel (LC-T group) or epirubicin-cyclophosphamide followed by docetaxel (EC-T group), using both propensity-score matched (matched) and unmatched data. Results: Data were analyzed from patients who received neoadjuvant LC-T (n = 178) or EC-T (n = 181) treatment. The overall pCR rate and rCR rate were higher in the LC-T group compared with the EC-T group (unmatched pCR: 25.3% vs. 15.5%, p = 0.026; rCR: 14.7% vs. 6.7%, p = 0.016; matched pCR: 26.9% vs. 16.1%, p = 0.034; rCR: 15.5% vs. 7.4%, p = 0.044). Analysis by molecular subtype showed that compared with EC-T treatment, LC-T treatment achieved significantly greater pCR rate in triple-negative subtype and greater rCR rate in Her2 (+) subtype. Conclusions: Neoadjuvant PLD-based therapy may be a potential option for patients with early-stage breast cancer. The current results warrant further investigation.
