Objective:
The application of immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) for post-neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) patients was controversial. The aim of this study was to investigate the long-term survival outcomes of IBR for these patients.
Methods:
Data between January 2010 and November 2017 were extracted from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Propensity score matching (PSM) was performed to reduce the influence of confounding factors between the mastectomy alone group (MA) and the mastectomy with IBR group (IBR). The rates of 5 year breast cancer-specific survival (BCSS) were compared by Kaplan-Meier curves with log-rank test.
Results:
The IBR was associated with improved 5-year BCSS in the IBR group before PSM (88.5 vs. 79.1%, P < 0.001). The proportion of IBR increased from 21.5% in 2010 to 28.2% in 2017. After PSM, a total of 9,610 patients were enrolled for survival analysis (4,805 in each group). In the complete response (CR) group, the 5-year BCSS rates did not differ (93.4 vs. 95.6%, P = 0.16). In the non-CR group, the 5-year BCSS rate was higher in patients who received IBR (82.5% 79.4%, P = 0.034).
Conclusion:
In general, the application of IBR among post-NAT patients has steadily increased from 2010 to 2017. In the CR group, survival outcomes of post-NAT patients who received IBR were similar to those who received mastectomy alone. In the non-CR group, IBR was associated with potential survival benefits. More studies are expected to validate our findings.
