目的对区域淋巴结阴性乳腺癌的术后辅助治疗目前存在争议,本研究试从卫生经济学角度为该组患者的临床治疗提供参考。方法选取上海医科大学肿瘤医院1988年1月1日至1993年12月1日手术的PT2N0M0的乳腺癌患者共172例,按单手术(S)、术后加三苯氧胺(S+T)、术后加CMF辅助化疗(S+C)、术后加三苯氧胺及CMF辅助化疗(S+T+C)分4组,计算各组5年无瘤生存率(DFS)及各组平均每例患者总的费用,后者包括医疗费及误工费。结果S、S+T、S+C、S+T+C4组5年DFS分别为91.3%、92.9%、85.9%、87.82%(P=0.6914),而平均每例总费用4组分别为1770.46元、2816.81元、3529.55元、4081.99元(P=0.0000)(折算至1988年物价水平)。结论无选择性应用术后辅助治疗并不能提高PT2N0M0乳腺癌患者的5年DFS及可能的长期生存率,并造成不必要的经济损失及患者生活质量的影响。选择有较高复发危险性的PT2N0M0乳腺癌患者行必要的术后辅助治疗是提高疗效的有效措施。
Objectives There are controversies regarding postoperative adjuvant therapy of regional lymph node negative breast cancer. This study will provide reference for the clinical treatment of this group of patients from the perspective of health economics. Methods A total of 172 breast cancer patients with PT2N0M0 who were operated on from January 1, 1988 to December 1, 1993 at the Shanghai Cancer Center of Shanghai Medical University were enrolled. The patients were treated with single surgery (S), postoperative tamoxifen (S+T), and CMF after surgery. Adjuvant chemotherapy (S+C), postoperative addition of tamoxifen and CMF adjuvant chemotherapy (S+T+C) were divided into 4 groups to calculate the 5-year disease-free survival rate (DFS) of each group and the average cost of each patient in each group. The latter included medical expenses and Loss of work. Results The 5-year DFS of the S, S+T, S+C, S+T+C4 groups was 91.3%, 92.9%, 85.9%, and 87.82% (P=0.6914), respectively, and the average cost per case was 4 groups. It was 1770.46 yuan, 2816.81 yuan, 3529.55 yuan, and 4081.99 yuan (P=0.0000) (converted to the price level in 1988). Conclusions The non-selective use of postoperative adjuvant therapy does not improve 5-year DFS and possible long-term survival of patients with PT2N0M0 breast cancer, and causes unnecessary economic losses and the quality of life of patients. Selecting necessary postoperative adjuvant therapy for PT2N0M0 breast cancer patients with high risk of recurrence is an effective measure to improve the efficacy.
