Abstract
BACKGROUND: Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is an aggressive form of breast cancer characterized by rapid progression and early metastatic dissemination. The purpose of this study was to assess contemporary rates of local regional recurrence (LRR) in the era of trimodality therapy for nonmetastatic IBC and identify risk factors leading to local failure. METHODS: A total of 114 patients with nonmetastatic IBC receiving trimodality therapy (neoadjuvant chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation therapy) were identified from a prospectively collected database from 2007 to 2015 and outcomes analyzed. RESULTS: Median age at diagnosis was 52 years, and the median follow-up was 3.6 years. Sixty-three (55%) patients presented with N2 IBC, and 52 patients (45%) presented with N3 IBC. Local regional recurrence was observed during follow-up for four patients; 25 died, and 85 were censored at last follow-up. Surgical margins were negative in 99% of patients (n = 113). The 2-year probability of LRR was 3.19% (95% confidence interval 1.03-9.90%). Five-year overall survival for this cohort was 69.14%. Improvement in disease-free survival was seen among patients with HER2+ subtype, clinical stage IIIB, complete or partial radiologic response to neoadjuvant therapy, pathologic complete response, and lower nodal burden on presentation. CONCLUSIONS: Locoregional recurrences were rare at a median of 3.6 years follow-up in a contemporary cohort of IBC patients treated with trimodality therapy. Although longer follow-up is needed, aggressive surgical resection to negative margins in the frame of trimodality therapy with curative intent can lead to LRR rates that mirror non-IBC rates.
