OBJECTIVES: To describe characteristics, treatment patterns, and clinical outcomes by treatment line among patients with hormonal receptor–positive (HR+)/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2–negative (HER2−) advanced breast cancer (BC).

METHODS: A retrospective study was performed using medical records of patients who initiated first-line treatment for advanced HR+/HER2- BC in four hospitals from 2012 through 2014. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to calcu¿late time to progression (TTP) and overall survival (OS) from the start of first- and second-line therapy.

RESULTS: 145 patients were followed for a mean of 31.0 (SD 17.8) months after advanced diagnosis; 25 patients were lost and 44.8% of patients died. The mean age was 57.6 (SD 12.0) years. At initial diagnosis, 32.4% of patients were in early stages; 17.9% in IIIA stage; 62.7% advanced stage. Most frequently received first-line treatments were endocrine therapy alone (48.3%) and chemotherapy alone (24.1%), and for second-line, endocrine therapy (46.7%) and chemotherapy (41.3). For first-line therapy, median TTP was 13.3 [95% confidence interval (CI), 9.8, 19.7] months for patients treated with endocrine therapy alone, 4.9 [95%CI, 2.9-11.5] months for patients who received chemotherapy; and 25.0 [95%CI, 18.5-30.8] months for patients with chemotherapy followed by endocrine therapy. For second-line therapy (92 patients), the median TTP for patients treated with endocrine therapy was 7.6 [95%CI, 4.2-10.0] months and 5.8 [95%CI, 4.2-10.4] months for patients with chemotherapy. Median OS from advanced diagnosis was 3.6 (95%CI, 2.8-5.1; 57.1% censored) years among patients who received endocrine therapy alone and 2.0 (95%CI, 1.2-3.3; 40.0% censored) years on chemotherapy alone.

CONCLUSIONS: Patients were diagnosed mainly in advanced stages; endocrine and chemotherapy were the most commonly used therapy. Patients who were prescribed endocrine therapy demonstrated longer TTP and OS than patients who received chemotherapy in the first- and second-line therapies. This study was limited by the small sample and potential selection.
